According to data from Transfermarkt, Bayern Munich has experienced a significant turning point, relinquishing the top spot in the Bundesliga standings for the first time since 2010. They currently trail Bayer Leverkusen by an astonishing 10 points.
In the 2024 Bundesliga season, Bayer Leverkusen has taken the lead with 80 points. This team won the title undefeated last season and has continued its strong performance this season, securing 4 points in two direct encounters with Bayern. Such outstanding performances have made them the undisputed dark horse of the Bundesliga.
Following Bayer Leverkusen is Stuttgart in third place. However, Borussia Dortmund has faced difficulties. This team, which has consistently ranked in the top three of the Bundesliga over the past nine years, now only has 61 points and ranks fourth. This season, Dortmund's state has been poor, accumulating only 25 points, a far cry from their peak performance in the past.
The rise of Bayer Leverkusen has broken Bayern's long-standing dominance in the Bundesliga, making the competition even more intense. Can Bayer Leverkusen maintain their advantage and keep the top spot until the end of the season? Will Bayern Munich be able to regroup and reduce the gap with Bayer Leverkusen? Can Borussia Dortmund regain their form and return to the championship race? The future schedule of the Bundesliga is full of suspense, and the performance of each team has undoubtedly become the focus of fans.
