Who shone, who fell short? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.
🇩🇪 Bundesliga
Bayer Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka
A week to forget for the national team captain: the 0:3 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 was followed by a surprising 0:2 against Bremen in the league at the weekend. Xhaka was unable to finish the game and was substituted at half-time. "We don't yet know whether he's injured or just struggling. Granit had some problems," explained coach Xabi Alonso. It remains to be seen whether his extended arm will be fit for the second leg against Bayern on Tuesday.
Dortmund
Gregor Kobel
Dortmund lost 1-0 to Augsburg, with Gregor Kobel's only shot on goal promptly hitting the target. But there was nothing the Swiss international goalkeeper could do in the 23rd minute. BVB are only in 10th place in the table - now level on points with Augsburg.
Gladbach
Jonas Omlin

Augsburg
Cédric Zesiger
Zesiger is on the hunt for a record! Since his move from Wolfsburg to Stuttgart in the winter, the defender has made seven appearances so far - and has still not conceded a single goal.
