"Lucky" Bayern Munich Hold Bayer Leverkusen; Borussia Dortmund Slip Into Bundesliga Mid-Table
A dogged defensive performance from Bayern Munich kept a dominant Bayer Leverkusen at bay in a 0-0 away draw on Saturday which preserved their eight-point lead on top of the German Bundesliga. The result, just the fifth time Bayern have dropped points in 22 league games this season, keeps them firmly on track to win back the title from Leverkusen with 12 games remaining. Calling the draw "lucky", Bayern captain Manuel Neuer said "we're satisfied with the result, let's say it like that." Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso insisted the "season is not over yet".
