Bayern Munich brushed by Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel: Congratulations to Leverkusen

Thomas Tuchel resigned Bayer Leverkusen emerged as the winner of the 2023/2024 German League. That’s what he said at the end Bayern Munich defeated by Borussia Dortmund 0-2 in week 27 at the Allianz Arena, Sunday (31/3/2024).

Dortmund’s pair of winning goals were scored by Karim Adeyemi (10′) and Julian Ryerson (83′). This defeat left Munich 13 points behind Leverkusen as the top of the German League standings, who have collected 73 points.

Even though there are still seven matches remaining in the race for the 2023/2024 German League title. However, Tuchel stated that this season’s title hunt was over.

Tuchel has firmly thrown in the white towel in the race for the German League title this season. “Of course, yes (the title race is over),” said Tuchel, quoted by BBC International, Sunday (31/3/2024).

“After today’s match there is no need to count points anymore. How many points are there now? Congratulations to Leverkusen,” he continued.

In fact, Bayer Leverkusen can still catch up on points if they slip up, and Bayern Munich consistently wins. With seven matches remaining, the Bavarians can add 21 points if they win.

However, Tuchel’s statement seems to be a sign that Bayern Munich has raised the white flag. Moreover, Werkself – Bayer Leverkusen’s nickname – has not been defeated until the 27th week of the German League this season.
