Fantastic Leverkusen only missing a goal against Bayern, says Alonso - Soccer News
Briefly

Bayer Leverkusen faced Bayern Munich in a Bundesliga match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Coach Xabi Alonso praised his team's performance, noting their strong defensive display, as they did not concede a single shot on target to Bayern—an impressive feat achieved only once before since data collection began in 2004. Although they failed to score, Alonso emphasized that Leverkusen created several chances, and remains optimistic about their title hopes despite trailing Bayern by eight points. Bayern's coach, Vincent Kompany, also commended his team's defensive organization during the match.
"We have the feeling that we played a fantastic game. The way we have played is our best game against Bayern this year, even last year. We have done almost everything right but we missed the goal. A fantastic performance. The other part is the result, with which we are not that happy. But that's football."
"There are still a lot of points to be played for. We are still in all three competitions."
"Today they earned the right to have the ball. They pressed really well, so we had to defend. I have to give a massive compliment to my team."
