Let's look at the bottom of the table occupied by Union Berlin. They are in the Bundesliga after being successfully promoted in the 2019/2020 season, as a promotion club, their performance can compete with clubs that have been in the highest caste of German football, even they can compete in the middle of the table, and in my opinion it is something very extraordinary. More than that, even they can improve their position every season and the most recent is when they can finish in the top 4 last season. Now they are at the bottom of the table, it is a very significant decline that they show. with their experience of rising from the second caste, they should make it a motivation to be able to rise again.

I feel very sorry for Union Berlin, a lot of very passionate fans, a small team with big dreams. But in fact, after successfully qualifying for the UCL league last season, they had to divide their concentration in the Bundesliga this season, so it's no surprise they are at the bottom of the standings.

But I don't think they are relegated because basically they will be knocked out of the Champions League so they can fully concentrate on the Bundesliga. I predict they will finish 12th. They need to rediscover the spirit of the small club Union Berlin Rebels like previous seasons. So once they are eliminated from the Champions League, they can only concentrate on the Bundesliga

Yes, they not only failed in the Champions League, but they also slumped in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League itself, they are now at the bottom of the standings with no wins, while closing their chances of qualifying for the last 16, but they still have hope to at least be in the European League.
I don't think dividing their concentration between the domestic competition and the Champions League is the reason why they are the way they are. There are many factors, one of which is the strategy of the coach, new players who cannot adapt quickly, to the failure of players who fail to implement the strategy properly.

It further makes it more interesting with the fact that Xabi is even a yong coach a s he is achieving this already. It's very possible he could bring to an end the era of Bayern Munich dominance in the bundesliga, if he succeeds in winning the league title by the end of this season as this happens to be one of his targets.

Bayern Munich under the management of tuchel is doing so well and definitely still remains fierce amongst other teams in the bundesliga especially this season where they have been winning recently with great goal margins. Xabi is really building a formidable and contending force against tuchel's but then only time can tell if Xabi has got a team who can withstand the fierce champions of the bundesliga.

It's still very far away and the season hasn't even reached the middle so Xabi Alonso will be successful if Bayern Leverkusen can lift the Bundesliga trophy, especially if they can also be successful in the European League.
If Bayern Munich is like last season, which didn't perform very well, maybe we can be sure that Bayern Leverkusen will break Munich's dominance, but what about Bayern Munich this season, even though they are two points behind Leverkusen, they are the team with the most goals and also the team with the least goals conceded, with that fact, if there is an opportunity for Bayern Munich to take over the standings then it will be very difficult for any team to bring them down because the strikers and defenders will ensure that Bayern Munich wins every match they play and only in the DFB Cup they failed to win.

In addition to looking from the side of Bayern Munich, talking about Leverkusen can break the dominance of Bayern Munch or not, of course we will see from their side too. Now they are very consistent, and the question is how strong are they to maintain their consistency? I don't mean to doubt Leverkusen in maintaining their consistency, but we also have to look at situations that will not benefit them too. For example, the hurricane of injuries to their players and so on, things like that will usually affect their performance.
