Bayer Leverkusen will end 2023 at the top of the German League, after succeeding in sweeping its guest, Eintracht Frankfurt, with a score of 3-0 in the 15th round at the BayArena.
The hat-trick of coach Xabi Alonso's squad meant that they reached 39 points at the top of the Bundesliga standings, one match before the long hiatus that will extend for approximately 30 days in German football competitions.
Thus, Leverkusen became the “winter champion” in the German League, regardless of the result of its next match on Wednesday with Bochum.
It should be noted that Leverkusen only knew victories or draws this season, as it did not lose any match in all tournaments, and achieved 12 wins in the Bundesliga with 3 draws.
Bayern Munich comes in second place after defeating this season's dark horse, Stuttgart, with a score of 3-0.
Bavarian has 35 points with a postponed match against Union Berlin that will be played next January, meaning that even if it wins its postponed match, the two-point difference in favor of Leverkusen will remain present.
Harry Kane scored two goals against Stuttgart, through which he strengthened his lead in the German League’s top scorers, with 20 goals, 4 goals ahead of the closest player, Serhou Guriassy.
At the same time, the English striker entered the history of the Bundesliga, after he became the fastest to reach 20 goals after 15 rounds, beating Haaland, who needed 22 matches to achieve this achievement.
