WATCH: Aleksandar Pavlovic scores a stunning for Bayern Munich to level the game before half-time

The Bundesliga encounter between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen today is very important. Though Bavarians have always come into this game as the reigning champions, this time around the championship will be carried into the Allianz Arena by Leverkusen. Both sides have something to prove going into this game. Leverkusen's quick counterattacks will try to break Bayern's rhythm, while Bayern will rely on its seasoned players to manage the game and take advantage of scoring opportunities.

The match is a must-watch on the Bundesliga schedule because spectators can anticipate an exciting battle combining strategy, skill, and a fiery competitive spirit. Bayern have had a fantastic start to the season under Kompany, winning all six games in all competitions and leading the table with a spotless record. With 20 goals in their previous three games, Bayern's assault has been on fire. They will play second-place Leverkusen on Saturday. Last season, Leverkusen became the first Bundesliga team to finish an undefeated season and broke Bayern's 11-year title-winning run.

They have already suffered a setback against RB Leipzig this season. Now, Bayer Leverkusen wants to defeat Bayern Munich this next weekend in order to send a message. Nonetheless, considering the present performance of both teams, they will enter the match as the second favorite.

Aleksandar Pavlovic scored volley to level the game

The deadlock was broken by Robert Andrich as he was able to palm the ball into the upper corner. But the lead didn’t last long for Bayern Leverkusen as Aleksandar Pavlovic received a headed clearance and chests the ball down before launching a thunderous volley from thirty yards out.

Aleksandar Pavlovic, who is 19 years old, was Bayern Munich's player of the year the previous season. Following the failure of Bayern to acquire Joao Palhinha in the summer transfer window of the previous year, Pavlovic was initially counted on to offer depth in central/defensive midfield behind players such as Leon Goretzka, Konrad Laimer, and Joshua Kimmich.
