I think if Bayern Munich is made runner up by Xabi Alonso this season, he will most likely get a much bigger offer in the world of football, European team owners will always come to see him, we know that Bayern Munich is very difficult to beat so far in the domestic league, so will be the toughest challenger this time in the bundes league for Bayern Munich.
If possibility winning Bundesliga trophy and success stop Bayern Munich dominance, will be more valuable for Xabi Alonso and many teams waiting for his sign to be manager. Winning mentality make Bayern Munich difficult for beating and learned with Dortmund last season failed for winning Bundesliga trophy on last one match although they have managed top position before. Fantastic record make by Xabi Alonso if can give Bundesliga trophy for Bayern Leverkusen in this season and he will be as the top manager without two years manage Leverkusen success give domestic league trophy. Just speculative only looking how many matches left and many points hunt for all Bundesliga teams, have good result last match on DFB Pokal seems easily fro Xabi Alonso to give this trophy for Leverkusen in this season.
In DFB Pokal club left there are not Bayern Munich and Stuttgart is second favorite team become the winner after Leverkusen, I think Xabi Alonso must focus on DFB Pokal if fail for winning domestic league trophy.
The winning mentality and the power of money that this clearly has will be very difficult to beat for several clubs especially we know in the last decade it is not uncommon for great players who are in several clubs in the Bundesliga to belong to Bayern which actually strengthens their strength.
Not a few players who really contributed to belonging to Bayern so that the hegemony they created was not lost which resulted in other clubs in the Bundesliga having difficulty destroying the dominance that has been maintained over the past decade.
At the moment the chances of several clubs are still there, especially maybe for Leverkusen but if in the end there are some changes in terms of players and coaches in the transfer market later, this could also be a condition where it is difficult for several clubs to strengthen their consistency. Now Leverkusen still has a great chance to compete in the Bundesliga, it's just that for the championship I still doubt they can replace Bayern.
