Winner again this Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen has just concluded an exceptional first part of the season in the Bundesliga.
Sensation of this first part of the season, the Bayer Leverkusen continues to impress. And even in pain, Xabi Alonso’s men remain unsinkable. This Saturday on the Augsburg pitch, they came very close to being penalized with a goal from their afternoon hosts ultimately refused for an offside position. In the 94th minute, Exequiel Palacios even offered his team a new victory to conclude an almost perfect first part of the season.
Abpfiff! Was ist hier passiert?!!

Not far from Bayern’s records
Thanks to this success, Leverkusen consolidates its first place and remains the only team in the five major championships undefeated this season with 14 wins and 3 draws. Or 45 points in 17 matches, which constitutes the 3rd best part of a season ever achieved in the history of the Bundesliga, behind Bayern in 2013-2014 (47) and in 2015-2016 (46), enough to situate their performance .
45 – The best first halves in Bundesliga history:
47 points – FC Bayern 2013-14
46 points – FC Bayern 2015-16
45 points – Bayer 04 Leverkusen 2023-24
45 points – FC Bayern 2014-15Statement. #FCAB04 pic.twitter.com/kTDMaCwj8J

If they continue at this pace, they will finish the season with 90 points in 34 matches, a performance achieved only twice (by Bayern Munich) since the move to three-point victory. But the road is still long, including a trip to Leipzig next week. As a reminder, Leverkusen is also undefeated in the Europa League (6 wins out of 6) and the German Cup (3 wins out of 3).
