The team also played in the Champions League last season. However, in the round of 16, they lost 7-0 against Manchester City in an away match. If Leipzig want to perform well in the Champions League, they must strengthen their squad. They need to spend money and add talented players to the squad. It is not possible for Leipzig to strengthen the squad without preparing big funds.
For the Domestic League, Leipzig has performed well enough to qualify for the Champions League, but whatever they do by spending a large budget to buy great players with the aim of strengthening the club so they can compete in the Champions League, will in vain because so far Leipzig has not been able or worthy to competing for the Champions League title.
But nothing is impossible if Leipzig in the next few seasons continues to develop with many changes to better players, there will be an opportunity for Leipzig to dominate the Domestic League and survive in the Champions League to fight for the title.
I don't think the Leipzig team will fight for the Champions League title. The Leipzig team may have performed well in the Bundesliga. Their performance in the Champions League was not bad either. Even then, Leipzig is not a worthy team to win the Champions League title. Even if Leipzig's management spend a lot of money this season to strengthen the squad, they will not be a team worthy of winning the Champions League title. Their performance will be stable. Gradually they need to build a team fit for the Champions League. There must be consistency in performance. They are quite time consuming. My guess is that Leipzig will probably qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League next season. And the team will be among the top four in the Bundesliga.
