Leverkusen is the most perfect team I have ever seen. One win in the UEL final and they will ensure themselves as the only team to be unbeaten in a season in all competitions on the UEFA calendar. It was a very prestigious achievement and could never be repeated even by Leverkusen itself.
Next season they will be one of the teams to watch out for. A defeat to Atalanta will expose their weaknesses and other teams will also try to copy the same tactics. Leverkusen needs to look for several new players to add strength to the team. I see that current players cannot play optimally as Xabi hopes. In fact I can say their current squad is not a great squad with great players. There are no famous players or young talents among them. However, the mentality and tactics used by Xabi succeeded in making them a very competitive team.
A competitive club is the pointed team that thrashed Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final. Leverkusen first defeats was really dissapointing because none of them expected it to happen. Bayer Leverkusen will survive the fierce competition infront? They've created one of the longest unbeaten run and I don't think it's going to an easy one for them next season. They will feature in the UEFA Champions League and we know all elite teams will focused on the club, this is really one of the top challenge they should throw more pointed actions on.
