The Champions League final is the biggest stage in European club football. There legends are created. While Leverkusen enjoyed a fantastic Bundesliga run, its not the Champions League. Their Europa League final loss to Atalanta gave them a taste of the real thing.
Everything changes in the Champions League. It moves more quickly and is more tactically sound. There is tremendous pressure because those are the greatest players in the world. Leverkusen has to elevate their game if they hope to contend. They need to adapt. They will truly be tested, but that's also what makes it so thrilling. Lets see what they've got.
I won’t be giving Bayern Leverkusen so much hope to go far in the champions league even if they had played brilliantly well in the last season and they still show some prowess in them to be able to perform better in the next season. The champions league is a very big competition that involves bigger and tougher teams than what Bayern Leverkusen faced in the last season. They have to step up their game in order to dominate in the champions league also, because they are on high alert for different teams because of their great ability that they displayed in the last season.
Atalanta together with Bayern Leverkusen will play in the Champions League but I don’t think they will both go far in the league since they’re lesser teams compare to other teams that will be playing in that competition. They can try their best, but I don’t see them even reaching the quarter finals or exiting pass the quarter finals of the competition. In this stages, the game would have been filtered to the most experienced and best teams which I don’t think they’ll fall in that last eight categories or will escape from that stage if they do.
