Well I could say you are the only one on this taught because Bayern Leverkusen were more than enough prepared statistically to win that game looking at all the wonderful display of team work and team they have shown through out their 2023/24 season campaign but as faith may have it their unbeaten run had to be put to a stop at the most crucial time they even needed the win more which was so bad to see Because I for one really expected and even played that game with some cash in favor Leverkusen but after many wins with them they finally disappointed me and lost the game to Atlanta who I could say have been very good themselves but the gap and form difference between the two teams was just too obvious but football and it's wonders strikes again.
Xabi Alonso plan was winning the treble but he fall out along the line. It was one of the tremendous season fro Leverkusen, having to lose just a game in the whole of 2023/2024 season and it was against the Atalanta in the Europa League. Atalanta was not in a rush, they calmly played Bayer Leverkusen and absorbed all pressure that was flowing in. Bayern Leverkusen will play the UEFA Champions League next season, I'm definitely sure they will manage to reach the very top.
Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen are always the main topic in the conversations I hear, especially in my environment, almost every time there is a gathering where there are people who like football, they don't miss out on talking about Leverkusen who have performed extraordinary this season under the direction of Xabi Alonso. This is their form of success and everyone appreciates it. Despite their defeat in the Europa League, it seems some people don't care about that.
Leverkusen also managed to win the title in the DFB Pokal after they managed to beat FCK in the final with a narrow score of 1-0. Even though they could only score 1 goal, it was more than enough to take them to the championship title. If only they had succeeded in becoming European League champions, then they would have definitely won the treble winner this season, but unfortunately that didn't happen because they had to lose concentration which ultimately made them lose in the European League final.
