Leipzig is spending so much money on the team though. The weird thing is, normally when a team is that much economically gifted, they end up being much better and get a lot better results. They spend above 60 million euro every single year, and I mean like 100 million this year alone for example.
This is why I believe that we are talking about a team that is under performing a lot compared to how much money they are spending. If a team is spending that much money, they should be in top three every single year and wouldn't really be a shocking result if they did that, like not an "achievement". So even though they may keep the fourth, they would still be upset, or at least should be.
I agree, not only the position where they finished the league but also the game they showed on the field is not promising for the future. I don't think Leipzig will even be in the top 4 unless big changes are made in the team next season. Dortmund is better prepared than Leipzig for next season despite losing a superstar like Haaland.
There were good hopes for Leipzig to finish at second or third spot but sadly in last few matches they lost points drastically, and they also lost their game in Europa Cup semi-final which was big set back for them but with their performance we can hope some better from them in coming matches because now they are doing good job with spending good amount on this club which is healthy and with this most chances as their quality is going to improve we will be able to have good results from them like in coming season they need some better performance in Champions League as they are good and improved team with now Dortmund is also without Haaland which is also big advantage for man clubs in Germany.
