In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen faced a disappointing 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, marked by inadequate defending leading to a last-minute equalizer. Coach Xabi Alonso expressed dissatisfaction with his team's defensive performance, noting their failure to maintain leads. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund's struggles continued as they lost 2-1 to Augsburg, enduring a second defeat within five days. This loss has intensified scrutiny on coach Nuri Sahin, particularly after their recent Champions League setback against Real Madrid. Napoli secured a 1-0 victory over Lecce in Italy, extending their unbeaten run in Serie A to eight games, solidifying their position at the top of the league. With Augsburg's comeback highlighting their resilience, the pressure on coaches in both leagues escalates as they aim to rectify performance issues and regain lost momentum.
