Still, you haven't seen anything. Leverkusen's got the spark, the hunger. They clawed their way to the top, but the real fight starts now. Can they handle the heat? The pressure? This never-ending pursuit? About Bayern, now... They did fall. Champions fall sometimes. It ain't the end of the world. Don't underestimate Kompany. He's a warrior, a leader. Bundesliga is a war, and this guy has the guts to win it
I agree with what you're saying because after all, next season is the time when Leverkusen will be tested even harder than this season.
The situation is different after winning the championship because after all, now they will definitely be required to get a good performance. Aside from not feeling the bitterness of criticism, this will also be a situation where the future is at stake, especially for Xabi,
We are used to seeing Xabi being outstanding this season so when next season there is a significant change and decline then this is difficult to accept and it could be that his future at Leverkusen becomes more difficult so this is the test they have to take next season.
Although we will not be able to see the same performance because surely other clubs will also develop but at least by keeping Leverkusen's performance under great pressure then it will still be very good for Xabi and he must work hard to get that.
