What makes some people still doubt Leverkusen is because Leverkusen has only shown their impressive performance this season, they have not yet tested how consistently they can maintain their current performance. In contrast to Bayern Munich, they have been defending champions here for more than a decade, we can already see how consistent they are in maintaining their performance, even though they slipped several times, they were able to recover quickly, which we have not seen from Leverkusen. If they slip, for example, how confident are we that they can recover quickly? no one can answer that with certainty because they have not really been tested as well as we saw with Bayern Munich.
It's actually natural that many people ask that question, because they have a basis for the questions they ask. One of the reasons is as I explained.

We agree with what you said, that in fact Leverkusen has not been tested by how far they have gone in this competition until the end of the season. their consistency has not been tested, although in fact Xavi Alonso's squad was able to play impressively in 15 matches without losing. their challenge in the race for the title this season is getting tougher, especially now that one of their mainstay players on the front line has suffered an injury, namely Victor Okoh Boniface. It will be Xabi Alonso's challenge to maintain his squad's consistency in fighting for the title this season. and I hope that Xabi will still be able to show the appearance of his squad even without their pure stickers, which are rumored to be absent until April.

On the Bayern side, as I said in many previous posts. Just like you said, Bayern Munich has won this competition for more than a decade, in fact Bayern Munich has advantages over other teams and at the same time has a winning mentality in this competition. even though they slipped, in the end they were able to get back up and return to leading the Bundesliga standings. and don't forget, Bayern is the richest club in this competition. So naturally, they have more competitive player depth than other teams. this season, the probability of their chance of retaining the Bundesliga trophy is very large. Moreover, Leverkusen's side is currently experiencing problems with players suffering from injuries. It will be a big question for all of us, will Xabi be able to continue to bring his team consistently and show that they are capable. Well, let's see how it develops.
