The regret for today is the failure to keep the unbeaten and terbele winner that was released after they lost an important match against Atalanta that made the record that they had compiled very well must be lost because of 1 defeat.
The defeat was very painful because Bayer Leverkusen has made up their mind to win all the trophies they are involved in this season and the manager Alonso did underrate Atalanta based on their League performance and their current standard forgetting that they kicked their main rivals Liverpool out of the Europa League to ease the pressure for them despite knowing that Liverpool is very good compare to Atalanta; and Alonso forgot that Atalanta is a team with record over them and they like keeping records just as they maintain their winning streak against Liver pol at Anfield.
But the rest for now we certainly know that with what they have shown at this time indeed Leverkusen is doing an extraordinary match because indeed 53 matches with 1 defeat and 52 wins in all competitions is clearly a record that is even difficult to get anyone even though it is a big club but Leverkusen is able to do it without players who can be said to be stars before because Xabi at the beginning of the season did not look for star players but created star players.
With the outstanding results this season, not only has the view of Leverkusen changed but for now the value of some players has soared tremendously and it is all thanks to Xabi's foresight in building the squad and maintaining the club's performance.
There is no doubt, Leverkusen had a perfect season, they are the only team to have such record this season, they only lose the Europa League but they won the remaining two trophies undefeated.
All Leverkusen players now have an upgrade in their individual rating, some of them will become world class and some will definitely leave the team because there will teams that will start hunting for the players because of their outstanding performance.
