For totally unselfish reasons, I think this is a great idea and Real should sign Grimaldo next summer to fix their LB position.

Top clubs typically overperform their xG and xGa (and thus their xPts) by quite a bit because they have the best strikers and keepers. So what Leverkusen is doing is actually in line with the quality of their squad, it’s Bayern which is actually underperforming due to defensive lapses in key moments. This notion is also confirmed by Bayern’s fantastic GD.
They are far and away a top2 team so far if we go by actual performances, and they’re already 8/10 points ahead of Leipzig/Dortmund.
To be fair, it’s well possible that the 4 points you guys dropped against relegation candidates Bochum and Heidenheim are gonna cost you at the end of the season.
It reminds me heavily of how you lost 2:3 against Bremen, at home, after leading 2:0 until the 90th minute last season. Back then, everyone was saying “what a fuckup, inb4 this costs you the title”. And in the end, that’s exactly what happened.
The memes would be endless if Bayern miss out on the championship for the first time in 11 years as soon as Kane plays for them.
