Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has praised the work of fellow Spanish coach Xabi Alonso at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano quotes the specialist on his social media as saying:
The job he's doing, fantastic. The only team unbeaten, fighting with Bayern. Now it's the most important part of the season.

Xabi Alonso took over Bayer in October 2022. The club is currently leading the championship this season, having not lost a single game.
Recall, the Leverkusen team defeated Mainz in the match of the 23rd round of the Bundesliga with a score of 2:1. This meeting was the 33rd in the winless series for Bayer, which allowed the club to surpass the achievement of Bayern in the season-2019/20 (32 winless matches).
After 23 rounds in the current season, Bayer is leading in the standings of the German championship with 61 points.
Earlier it became known that the odds on Bayer's championship in the Bundesliga collapsed 44 times since the beginning of the season.
There was also information that Liverpool scouts watched Xabi Alonso at the match against Bayern, and nine days later journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that the English club held the first talks with representatives of the Spaniard.
