The difference between Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund was that Leverkusen came back from 0-2 down against Bayern Munich, which is really good for the Bundesliga in general, whereas Dortmund had a big chance against Bayern at home and messed it up so badly, I gave Dortmund the benefit of the doubt and was hoping for them to play their best game and give Bayern Munich a hard time, but after that defeat I knew that this season is going to be no different than any of the seasons in over a decade now. It is either Leverkusen or nobody to stop Bayern.
In line with you, there is no club that is more promising to break Bayern Munchen dominance this season than Bayer Laverkusen, Dortmund or any other team that needs a miracle other than their own efforts if they have the ambition to win the Bundesliga trophy. Throughout the club history, Laverkusen have never won the Bundesliga, I see their best opportunity is this season. However, this is not easy to do, because we know that Thomas Tuchel squad has all the attributes to defend the championship trophy again this season.
On the other hand, if Xabi squad is still unbeaten for half the season, then I am quite sure they will be able to realize their dream of winning a trophy. However, we always see that sometimes the storm of injuries throws all the club ambitions into disarray. If we can avoid the storm of injuries then everything will be fine.
What I know from a long time ago is that Dortmund has always been a challenger who almost broke this dominance but always failed and even though the previous season Leverkusen was a challenger to Bayern Munich even though they also failed, this season Leverkusen has become more confident after the presence of Xabi Alonso. With this confidence, Xabi is able to provide The right strategy is to continue to maintain Leverkusen's position in first place and on the one hand, Dortmund is also starting to put pressure on Munich and it looks like Tuchel has a tough task this season.
