The holidays are approaching, but the Bundesliga continues its course. This Wednesday evening took place the 16th day of the German championship with no less than 6 matches on the program. Among them, Bayern Munich faced Wolfsburg away, while Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen hosted Bochum. A lively evening which kept all its promises, while Union Berlin had, a little earlier, managed to take three points against Cologne (2-0).

Jostled on the Wolfsburg pitch, Bayern Munich did not flinch and won painfully (1-2), while recovering De Ligt, who returned at the end of the match. Thanks to Musiala and Kane’s 25th goal in all competitions – a magnificent goal – the Bavarians continue to put pressure on Bayer Leverkusen. And justly. Bayer 04 made short work of Bochum, thanks in particular to Schick’s hat-trick, untenable alongside Boniface. At the same time, Borussia M’Gladbach cracked in the final moments against Frankfurt, not Stuttgart who won against Augsburg, well helped by Guirassy, again a scorer with his team which is in 3rd place in the Bundesliga. Friborg made the wrong move of the evening by losing at the end of the suspense in Heidenheim. In the standings, Leverkusen continues its epic, just ahead of Bayern Munich, second with a game in hand.
