There is a race between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, but when we look at both teams, Bayern Munich has the better squad. Bayern is not affected much by injuries, but this could have a bad impact on Leverkusen. If Bayer Leverkusen wins the championship this year, it will be more valuable than any other team's championship.
Xabi Alonso have become one of the good coaches to compete with Thomas Tuchel for the league title and he's achieving his aim and there's nothing anyone could do to stop Xabi Alonso who's ambitious and wouldn't relent for anything, definitely not now that he's very close to becoming one of the fierce club to break the dominated territory from Bayern Munich over these years. Bayern Munich have been in good shape over the past decades but this season seems different because Bayer Leverkusen have proven to become different from the rest, they want the Bundesliga title and they go straight for it other than sitting and struggling just like these random mediocre clubs found here in Germany.
Of course, Xabi Alonso and Thomas Tuchel are the same coaches who are fighting hard. Currently, we seem to see two camps competing fiercely with each other, Xabi Alonso with his tenacity and ambition and Thomas Tuchel with strategic maturity, especially as the depth of Thomas Tuchel squad is stronger when compared to Leverkusen, but Leverkusen is still able to fight for it and is able to works together well to achieve maximum result and Xabi Alonso has shown that he is a coach who has above average abilities to handle a club like Leverkusen, which was initially among the mediocre club.
Leverkusen is the only club thats dares to challenge Bayern Munich with its consistency so far in the Bundesliga as well as being the only club that is most consistent in the European League in the groups stage. So I am quited confident that Xabi Alonso is able to make a difference to the Leverkusen club this season and I want to see Xabi Alonso won trophie in the Bundesliga and in the European League.
