Lennart Karl (17 years, 290 days) is the youngest player in Champions League history to score in three successive games, per Opta. Plays with such freedom and confidence. Refreshing to see.

On a Matchday in which Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Frankfurt all dropped points, Dortmund did well to beat a Hoffenheim side that were unbeaten in their last six games, to extend their own unbeaten streak to six in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund celebrate as they go six unbeaten in the Bundesliga, ending Hoffenheim's six game unbeaten run. Brandt scores on his 200th BL appearance for BVB, Schlotterbeck impressive. I thought Yan Couto was great too.

Was at the RheinEnergieStadion today where former Peterborough striker Ricky-Jade Jones scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to secure a vital point for St. Pauli, ending their nine game losing streak. A courageous performance.

I'm a big fan of Ibrahim Maza. Arrived at Bayer Leverkusen prior to Florian Wirtz's departure and he's seen as an eventual replacement, but the Algerian is a completely different player. More on the Algerian 👇

That's a big win for Dortmund to get one over Leverkusen, could prove vital in the race for a Champions League place come May. He'll always have his critics, but Adeyemi has now scored in three successive games - his goal today a superb header.

Although contracts mean very little nowadays in terms of players leaving, Cologne did well to tie El Mala down to an extension until 2030 before the season started - it means they'll hold all the power when it comes to negotiating a fee, in the eventuality he does leave. A standout talent.
Said El Mala is going to be something really special.

Gladbach-Leipzig not the greatest game, but have to commend Polanski's side. Unbeaten in their last 4 Bundesliga games (W3, D1) and have shored up their defence. 18 goals conceded in their first 8 games; just 1 goal conceded in their last 4.

What a moment in the Gladbach-Leipzig game. Honorat fired his side into the lead, but was judged to be offside by the VAR. This is about as marginal you can get. We're not entirely sure what part of the Gladbach attacker is actually offside.

Some words on tonight's Bundesliga game as a resurgent Gladbach, playing with renewed confidence & a desire to win, host high-flying Leipzig.
Very much like what Polanski is doing. But Werner has Leipzig playing some excellent football with Diomande & Baumgartner shining.

Some thoughts from City-Leverkusen.
B04 showed no fear against a Manchester City where Nico Gonzalez remained the sole survivor from their defeat against Newcastle United, but it didn't affect Kasper Hjulmand's approach. B04 went to the Etihad with a gameplan, and executed it to perfection.

Ibrahim Maza has been excellent tonight. Developing an excellent understanding with Aleix Garcia in central-midfield. Garcia invites pressure, Maza finds space and progresses the ball. Great in tight spaces.

In place at the Etihad, alongside Jack, for City-Leverkusen. I'm cautiously optimistic for B04, who have been strong in the Bundesliga but have struggled when coming up against the 'big' teams.
Leverkusen’s XI
A lot of young players as there are a lot of injuries.
(8 players u19, plus Maza and Belocian who are 20)

Similar to their defeat against Bayern, Dortmund left it too late before they started showing urgency and courage. Only when Kovac made four changes did they improve. That said, City were utterly brilliant tonight.
