Honestly, Leverkusen went 51 games unbeaten, even though they did ended up losing at the finals, that doesn't mean that they had a bad season overall, winning the league at Bundesliga is already a huge achievement, no team achieved that over Bayern in over a decade, so being able to do that alone is so greatest in my perspective.

Plus, they are going to play the cup game, which I really feel like they are putting some immense pressure on themselves now, they had confidence that they can beat anyone, but after Atalanta I am damn sure that they are not entirely sure.

But to be fair, they are playing a team one division below so it would be even bigger shock if they lose. They will most likely finish with a double, and that is going to be a great thing for them, we shouldn't judge them on just one game.

But what is certain is that even though he lost in the European final, Xabi Alonso has proven that there has been improvement in his first year coaching, the semifinals are now final even though he lost. so the praise for Xabi Alonso is very deserved, and maybe next season Xabi Alonso will make a big surprise in the UCL league.

Indeed, this was Leverkusen's first defeat this season which was very painful because the defeat occurred in the final. However, Leverkusen's achievements this season are truly extraordinary, with 51 matches unbeaten. It will take a very long time for another team to break Leverkusen's current record. I think that by losing to Atalanta in the European Cup final, Leverkusen will vent everything in the DFB cup, especially against a team that is far below them, of course the DFB Cup trophy belongs to Bayerkusen so they can combine the two trophies this season.

Absolutely true and that is an achievement that is rarely achieved by other coaches on their first debut with their new club. Xabi Alonso has gone so far from most coaches and who would have thought that he would achieve such impressive results at a mediocre club that doesn't even have star players. It could be said that this kind of success only comes once in a lifetime and Xabi Alonso has found the right formula for Leverkusen's revival.

Defeat is as normal as winning in football and this defeat will definitely make Leverkusen more mature and can make them strengthen what they already have. Talking about the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen certainly doesn't want the same mistakes to be repeated and even though their opponents will be a weak team from a lower division, they can't underestimate them in the slightest if they want to win this title.

This failure is a very valuable experience and this has been one of the best experiences that Leverkusen and Alonso have had, who can really produce big results like this and never expected that it could end with a success like this season.
I agree with you even though Leverkusen failed in the European league but in the eyes of all other clubs Leverkusen looks very great and is highly appreciated because it was able to reach the final round through all obstacles from other clubs without being defeated even though they ended up losing.
This is a great experience that can be turned into good learning in the future when Alonso can really turn failure into success in the coming season.

Leverkusen fans still believe in this season even though they failed in the UEL, but in the coming season they will definitely prove it in a bigger competition in the Champions League.
This experience also gave Leverkusen great strength to have the courage to spend a little more money to bring in star players.
