Which would be indeed a bad decision to praise Leverkusen too early because as some of you may know, there is a reason that Leverkusen is called "Vice-Kusen" in Germany. They have had a time like 2 decades ago when they were the toughest competitor for Bayern Munich, but they literally finished 2nd in all competitions in a single year. I think it was the year when they lost the Champions League final against Real Madrid. I am a bit too lazy to check, but that's why they are called that way and I am sure they do not want to hear anything yet about title ambitions or anything that could distract them.

Well, I hope at least they are not going to do something like Dortmund. I really thought that the last season was the time when Bayern Munich was defeated after such a long time. But the way Dortmund betrayed almost everyone was really incredible.

This has been happening for a long time. The other clubs raise some hope that they will be able to defeat Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. But in the end, it is Munich at the top of the table winning the Bundesliga title. Everybody is praising Bayer Leverkusen. But honestly, I am scared to praise them early because I have seen what can happen in the last 11 years.

I guess that there maybe one team that surprisingly wins the Bundesliga title, perhaps RB Leipzig or Bayer Leverkusen, but that would still not change that much for the league as a whole. I mean if Bayern Munich does not win the title for one year, it just means they will win it again one year later. It would still be miles away from having a seriously competitive group in the Bundesliga like they have in the Premier League or also in Italy where it would be impossible to predict the title winner for the next five years. Whereas in the Bundesliga I would say that at least 4 out 5 times Bayern Munich will win it. Their advantage is too big.

And this trend will gradually get the league to bore people because what are we watching when in a way we know the end from the beginning, it will be very good and more interesting if another team could possibly get to win the title for the next two seasons that way we could have something to anticipate although it's seemingly possible this season that another wins the title.

Leverkusen and Leipzig are giving the hopes that they could possibly change the narrative a while with their performance so far but then it's still possible again as usual that by mid season Munich rise up again and start to dominate the whole league, the best contender would have been Dortmund if not for their consistent policy of selling off their good young talents, they should have by now built a formidable team who could win the League back to back without Munich wining the title often.
