Legendary former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has made it clear that he is rooting for Bayer Leverkusen to clinch the Bundesliga title this season, rather than seeing Bayern Munich continue their dominance.
Currently, Bayer Leverkusen sits comfortably in second place, a remarkable 10 points ahead of Bayern Munich. This unexpected turn of events has sparked excitement among football fans worldwide, including Ferguson himself.
In an interview with the Eintracht Frankfurt website, Ferguson expressed his support for Xabi Alonso’s team, stating, “I always hope to see the underdog win. Bayern fans may not agree with that, but like all the neutral fans in Germany, I really hope to see someone else win the league again.”
Bayern Munich has been the undisputed champions of the Bundesliga for an impressive 11 consecutive years. However, Ferguson’s sentiment reflects a desire for a change in the league’s hierarchy, with many fans echoing his sentiments.
As the Bundesliga season unfolds, all eyes will be on Bayer Leverkusen as they aim to dethrone the reigning champions. Will they be able to maintain their lead and secure the title, or will Bayern Munich stage a comeback? Only time will tell.
For football enthusiasts around the globe, the race for the Bundesliga title has never been more thrilling, thanks to the unexpected rise of Bayer Leverkusen and the legendary support of Sir Alex Ferguson.
