Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

Any idea how Leverkusen is going to perform in the Champions League competition?

I actually want to see Leverkusen from well in the Champions League competition. For some reason, I also want to see a final between Real Madrid and Leverkusen. I think because I want to see how great coaches, Alonso and Ancelotti does against each other. I understand that this is not a good comparison and probably there is a very high chance that Real Madrid is actually going to win very easily. Because of the track record that they have in the Champions League. But it will still be something to watch. The expectation is really high from Leverkusen. I hope they will be able to deliver properly on that.

Guaranteed 1/8 finals and then how lucky they will be with the draw. With the new format, I don't think Bayer will have problems finishing in the top half of the group. If the competition were held in the old format, then reaching the 1/8 would also be guaranteed since Bayer, as the German champion, would be in the first pot and the likelihood that a group would turn out like Group F this season is very small.

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.

I don't really know how Bayern Leverkusen have became a center of attraction in the upcoming champions league season because even Europa league that they got to the final stages but yet they lost woefully to Atalanta even on a humiliating 3:0 defeat as to say that they can withstand the pressure of champions league because the champions league is more tensed than the Europa league. Right from the ending of last season, a lot of people have been predicting on Real Madrid to claim the title again next season.
I don't doubt the fact that Bayern Leverkusen can make things happen in the champions league next season after all their display last season was so outstanding but yet we can't be sure if they can still continue in that same spirit next season. Xabi Alonso is a good coach and we can't Underrate his coaching skills so he can still take every one by surprise next season just same way he did last season.

Bayer Leverkusen is interesting because of its unbeaten reputation last season both in the domestic league and in the European league despite having to experience defeat by Atalanta in the final round, but it does not close the eyes that the consistency that Leverkusen showed last season was so great that many people became curious about its performance later in the Champion league.

The problem of tense or not I think is the same because Leverkusen in the European league is in the final round I think the name of the final match is just as tense as the match in the champion league and maybe the tension is quite high because of the Final, I also doubt about how the performance will be brought in the champion league again unbeaten or not because indeed the atmosphere in the champion league is different than the European league with a team that is much heavier than Leverkusen who has just grown.
