The best invincibles in the football history. Only 6 draws. 90 points. Incredible.
I love Xabi myself. You can see how he hugs his players, with a loving look on his face as if they were his children. What a role model!

They are dominating their opponents and force them deep into their own side, the defenders are mostly around the middle line or even sometiems go all down, very aggressive counter pressing when possible, similar to City but more stable against counters, they only took 1 counter goal all season. Thats the normal play style, they can also play it defensly and play for counter attacks like vs Bayern in their home game winning 3-0 and Bayern didnt even get 1 chance all game, Kane had like 10 Ball touches. Quite versatile tbh in the lastest games they also tried more of a direct style. Also rotating alot, in the first 17 games they had allways the same starting 11, in the next 17 games they changed each game, sometimes drastically. Versus Bayern no Frimpong, no Schick, no Boniface/Palacios (injured) and they crushed them.

@@benzyluu2684 Frimpong is very fast, if u give him space on the wing he can outrun most of the defensive players but he is not very good in finshing by himself, he will often run to the baseline and then pass back or in the middle for someone to push the ball over the line. Grimaldo is a pass machine just like Xhaka and Wirtz, they can take out any defence just by passing the ball around within the smallest space(Tiki Taka) and his flanking and corners and freekicks are very dangerous, on point.

Yes some luck for injuries is needed, but Leverkusen simply overcame all of it with squad depth and strong team comprehension, spirit whatever you want to call it. Boniface injury, Africa cup taking away 75% of their defense, Arthur being injured almost full season, players falling out of form - there were alot of close situations, but it mostly came down to their will forcing their style through, for me personally Pala's goal vs Augsburg was a peak.
