Even though Leverkusen suffered defeat in the Europa League, in my opinion, Leverkusen has done their best so that they can be at that peak point, because with Leverkusen having made new history in the Bundesliga, of course that is already good and must be appreciated by other teams and football fans. with Xabi Alonso guiding them so that they can become a fairly strong team in the Bundesliga, this is a good achievement.
It's true, their unbeaten record has been broken by another team. and this is football, of course, even though a team that is known to be strong can compete undefeated, but that doesn't mean there is no team that can beat it, as I have said before. with the remaining Final matches I hope Leverkusen can win so they can make new history with a little more completeness. and I think they have to train harder to compete in the Champions League next season, because of course the Champions League is a big league.
Bayer went through the entire season at a high level, without an obvious decline, it seems to me that this is very difficult and the players require rest. It’s difficult to predict what will happen next season, but it’s good that Alonso decided to stay in the team, which gives hope that Bayer will want to keep the team. As for the Champions League, I am sure that it will be much more difficult for them there, there is a big difference when you have to play with the champions.
Basically, Xabi Alonso has stated to stay at Bayer Leverkusen next season, so there is nothing to worry about anymore. But indeed, it is possible that the performance and results that will be obtained next season may not be completely the same as they got this season. So yes, if for example in the next season Xabi Alonso fails to provide good results for Bayer Leverkusen, I hope fans will not drop Xabi Alonso's achievements this season. Because ofcourse, they also have to respect and appreciate Xabi Alonso who has managed to create a new history and great history for the team. In addition, Bayer Leverkusen will still play in the DFB Pokal final and thus, Bayer Leverkusen must be able to move on from the failure it experienced in the Europa League final.
