Leverkusen have no star players in their squad. But if we compare Leverkusen's overall squad performance then we have to say that this team is very strong. This team is yet to lose any match in the Bundesliga. They also drew the match 2-2 against Bayern Munich. At the same time, they have shown great dominance in every match of the Europa League. Leverkusen are also unbeaten in the Europa League and have managed to win all their matches. Leverkusen conceded only 3 goals in 6 matches in the Europa League and scored 19 goals. So this group cannot be called weak. Leverkusen are likely to win both the Bundesliga and Europa League titles. If Xabi receives big funds in the winter transfer, he will be able to strengthen the team.
I will disagree with that statement that They d not have stars, I think they do have stars but it is not a star studded team like the Bayern Munich team. The likes of Xhaka are stars, Florian Writz is also a star already since his breakthrough last season and that’s why his Markets value is growing higher everyday. Also in the Bundesliga, Jonas Hoffman is a star too. This guy joined with the others have been the back bone of the team. Also at the defense i nearly forgot about Jonathan TAH who is also a rock solid defender for both club and country.
We all can say Leverkusen took us by surprise but I will say they actually looked like a club that will definitely threaten since from last season when Xabi Alonso took over. The club were in relegation battle until his appointment where he took the team to Europa League after falling just a little short off the champions league spot. I had the believe from them that they will go all the way this season and they are proving that already
