‘Anything is possible’ – Bayer Leverkusen’s Nathan Tella on the Bundesliga title race | OneFootball

Eight points separate Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga with 10 games remaining, but Nathan Tella doesn’t believe the title race is over just yet.

“Anything is possible,” Tella said after Bayer’s 4-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. “I’ve often seen teams collapse at the end. If we just focus on what we can do, there is no reason why we can’t increase the pressure further.”

The Bundesliga title race so far

Bayer Leverkusen drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich on February 15 before Vincent Kompany’s side picked up wins against Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Although a comfortable win against Eintracht, it was a different story against VfB, who held the Rekordmeister to a level game heading into the break. Defensive errors ultimately cost Stuttgart taking any points from Bayern, who have upcoming games against Union Berlin, St. Pauli and Augsburg.

Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen meanwhile must keep winning and hope that Bayern drop points. After their 4-1 win at Eintracht, they host Werder Bremen at the weekend before going to Stuttgart.

Between matchday 25 in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will face each other in the UEFA Champions League. Speaking on the tie, Tella said: “Everyone is looking forward to it,” before discussing his form after failing to break into the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. “I’m happy about all the games I get to play,” added Tella.

“At the beginning of the season I didn’t play much and now I’m getting more minutes in the team. I’m happy with myself and that the team is getting good results.”
