Many predict that Bayer Leverkusen will be the center of attention in the next Champions League and want to see how Xabi Alonso competes with many outstanding coaches who have experience in the Champions League, but we cannot guarantee to what extent Leverkusen can survive in the Champions League despite the previous unbeaten achievements, it is possible but it may not be what we imagine or go the other way and cannot survive even in the group qualification.
But it is interesting how far Xabi Alonso will take Bayer Leverkusen, whether it will reach the final like Dortmund or not.
To a very great extent Bayer Leverkusen will mostly be the center of attention because most persons will be looking forward to what their performance will look like if they are going to replicate the Europa league performance at the champions league competition. Competing with other top a d experienced Coaches who has got both the champions league experience and probably their domestic league experiences which may turn out another competitive one, xabi will have to put up na outstanding performance to be able to cope or last long enough in the champions league.
If the Leverkusen is able to perform as much as Dortmund did then I would say it was a tremendous performance especially for Xabi as his first attempt came out that good. This new champions league policy may not allow most team go too far because in the group stage they may have to play against almost everyone before proceeding to the next stage for those with higher points just like the domestic league settings and this I see to be more stressing and which will mean more work for Leverkusen if they must stay top of the table amongst top team as they would want to.
