In the biggest Bundesliga clash of the season, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich played out a 0-0 draw—a result that leaves Bayern eight points clear at the top. Yet, despite securing a crucial point away to a top side, the post-match discourse has been dominated by criticism of a historically weak Bayern. Jan Åge Fjørtoft and Markus Fjørtoft discuss.

Meanwhile, Bayern enters a pivotal month with Champions League knockout ties and Bundesliga clashes against Leverkusen, Eintracht, and Stuttgart.

We break down all the narratives—Leverkusen's missed opportunity, Bayern doing what champions do, and should we expect more?
