What Bayern Munich is experiencing this season is something that is quite normal and almost all top football teams have experienced this and on the other hand Leverkusen this season is also quite fantastic so Bayern Munich has a very big chance of not being able to defend the Bundesliga title.
What must be remembered is that this is not an excessive downturn and with the financial support and strength of the Bayern Munich team, I think next season they will do even better to regain their position.
Bayern Munich have strong domination in history of Bundesliga and every club has cycle of success to failure and repeats its again. Even strong clubs like Bayern Munich are not exceptions and we saw that with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United too. These clubs need years to rebuild their squad with many coaches before gaining success again. Lately we have Chelsea with their crisis in last two seasons and they did not show positive signals of ending it.
Furthermore Leverkusen simply are doing very excellent performances in this season and such season is barely performed by Leverkusen. They are completing a barely successful seasons and going through last steps to take Bundesliga title from Bayern Munich.
What Leverkusen has done this season has made the Bundesliga competition much fiercer than usual and so far they have also made quite a big surprise.
I'm sure quite a lot of people were happy when Leverkusen managed to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga.
The competition will be more exciting if Bayern Munich can play better or Leverkusen play worse a little bit. With closer difference between two competitors, the race will be more interesting. Now Leverkusen lead too far and Bayern Munich have small chance to equalize it.
