Looking Around the League: A Close Race for Champions League Qualification
Despite winning 5-1 on Friday night, RB Leipzig still trail BVB by one point in the race for the top four. At this point in the season, it?s tough to avoid these weekly Bundesliga roundups becoming repetitive. We all know what the real talking point in the league is right now. Still, if each week is just dedicated to the race for the Meisterschale, it will become increasingly difficult to pretend this is really ?looking around the league? instead of looking squarely at the top spot in the table. Still, there?s no avoiding reality, so let?s get it out of the way before taking a look at the rest of the weekend?s action in the Bundesliga:
Bayer Leverkusen held off Freiburg to claim all three points and stay then points clear of Bayern Munich, with just eight games left in the season?lovely, lovely stuff. Anyway, after spending last week discussing the relegation battle and insisting that it?s weird that Mainz are still this bad, they finally showed minor signs of life to appease the main character, me.
Sure, it was only Bochum, but it was a solid performance, and it now takes them above FC Köln, who they will face on the 27th of April in what could be a massive game in the relegation battle. Here is how the rest of Matchday 26 played out:
Results
FC Köln 1-5 RB Leipzig
Heidenheim 1-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach
Mainz 2-0 VfL Bochum
Darmstadt 2-5 Bayern Munich
Union Berlin 2-1 Werder Bremen
Wolfsburg 1-3 Augsburg
Hoffenheim 0-3 VfB Stuttgart
Freiburg 2-3 Bayer...
