Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich is set to host Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, March 5 as the best of the Bundesliga meets in Europe’s premier competition. <\/p>
The two sides have met thrice already this season and Alonso would be happy to look back on those meetings. The first of those matches was a 1-1 draw as Aleksandar Pavlovic and Robert Andrich found the back of the net while a 0-0 draw was played out in February sandwiching a DFB Pokal meeting where 10-men Bayern went down 0-1 to the defending champions.<\/p>
