Bayer Leverkusen without doubt have been extremely good with their performances this season both in the German Bundesliga campaign and also in the UEFA Europa League competition but that doesn't mean that they'll also be doing exceptionally well if they were playing in club football's most prestigious competition which is the UEFA Champions League competition. Football isn't analyzed that way if you ask me and I'm not even saying that there's no possibility of them doing well if they were participating in the UEFA Champions League competition.
Xabi Alonso is building the Bayer Leverkusen team to become a very strong team in the German Bundesliga and also in Europe but we should learn how to take everything one at a time.
Bayer Leverkusen is currently leading the league table with a staggering 10 points difference ahead of of second placed Bayern Munich and if they eventually win it, that means they're surely going to participate in the UEFA Champions League competition next season and then we can know how well they can play in the UEFA Champions League.
The atmosphere of the Champions League certainly brings greater pressure to all its contestants every season, very different from the European League, let alone their respective domestic leagues. All the teams that appear there are the best representatives from each of the best leagues in Europe, of course it will not be easy to create consistency, especially if you are in a difficult group, which consists of more experienced clubs. This fact cannot be avoided by Leverkusen, Leverkusen management must prepare to face a tougher season, while stepping up to close this season with various trophies.
Leverkusen can remain stable next season if Xabi Alonso stays at the club. It is reported that several top European clubs are very interested in recruiting him, two of which are Bayern Munich and Liverpool. Leverkusen management must think early on to keep him in order to survive, because if Xabi Alonso leaves Leverkusen has the potential to experience setbacks in the Bundesliga, and suffer the same fate as Union Berlin in the Champions League. Let's wait for them to win the trophy at the end of the season, then we'll see how Leverkusen starts their adventure in the Champions League.
