Under normal circumstances, Bayern Munich would be the big favorites. But they have a team with the most extraordinary statistics in history. I think that whatever Vincent Kompany does, he will first and foremost have to wait for Bayer Leverkusen to perform worse than last season. If Bayer Leverkusen continue with the same statistics, Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich have no chance. If they apply the same transfer policy to Bayer Leverkusen as they did to Borussia Dortmund in the past, they might have a chance to change something.
So they (Bayern Munich) have to wait for a decline in performance from Leverkusen? In my opinion, this is incorrect thinking, because when a team wants to win the title, they should be the ones who can perform very well, not wait for the decline experienced by other teams. The decline experienced by other teams should not be a benchmark for them to be able to dominate the league again, they must be able to determine their own fate instead of depending on other teams.
If that's the way of thinking, then as long as Leverkusen performs well then Bayern Munich should be satisfied with what they get even if they can't become champions? I think it looks cute. The reason is how could a team have to decide their fate against another team, which even happens before the competition starts. Bayern Munich is a very big team, they are very capable of being able to compete with Leverkusen even with Leverkusen's extraordinary performance like this season, with a note they must also be able to perform very well too.
