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
Xhaka granit is more than 30 years old. Although the former Arsenal star is still good and can provide color in the Leverkusen game but not a first-class star.
While Florin Wirtz is still young, his game is not yet mature. of course it can be said that he is not a first-class star but only a young player who is on the rise even though this season he has only scored 5 goals even though he is not a striker, only an attacking midfielder.
Jonas Hoffman as a foward over the age of 30 has aged physically less excellent. and this season as a striker jonas has only scored 5 goals.
