Leverkusen are top club because they've set one of the longest unbeaten run in European football tournaments this season. Xabi Alonso and his entire squad was able to achieve this record based on discipline, consistency, determination and hardwork. Every member that participated inother to see that Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga trophy deserves accolades. Bayer Leverkusen lost one of the important matches and it was the Europa League match against Atalanta.
Before Alonso managed to bring Leverkusen this season to great achievements, of course I am sure that you will never say that Leverkusen is a top club, because indeed all this time Leverkusen is a mediocre team that often ends the season outside the Champions League zone and even since the 120th the club founding, this season is the first time they have won the Bundesliga and with an unbeaten record, Leverkusen journey certainly shows how a team can be successful even if it does not have strong finances, Discipline, consistency, determination, and hard work are certainly important capital for Leverkusen to achieve glory this season.
Their achievements in the Europa League are also quite fantastic by being able to maintain their consistency until reaching the final round, but unfortunately Atlanta who also have Discipline, Consistency, Determination, and Hard Work to get their first Europa League trophy certainly had an impressive performance in the final match so that Leverkusen was helpless with 3 goals created by Lookman in the match, Although Leverkusen failed to win the Europa League trophy this season, their performance still deserves appreciation.
I think that something, as long as Atalanta does not lower the level in high-level championships like the UCL, I think that everything will go in the right direction, I always recognize that Leverkusen is also one of the best teams that Germany has ever passed, and now they have to prove what they are made of in the UCL, in the Europa League final they gave them a taste of the level that awaits them, just a sip, this means that Xabi Alonso has to prepare much more, the Bundesliga level is good, but I think they have to prepare much more for the challenge ahead , being in the UCL is a dream for this team and I think Germany is very excited about what they can do.
