Xabi Alonso has led Leverkusen to become a team that is difficult to beat, whether in the domestic league or in the UEL, even though in the end they were defeated by Atalanta in the UEL final yesterday, of course that doesn't make them low, I think Atalanta and Leverkusen deserve to move up to a more difficult level again, namely playing in the UCL next season, even though their strength may not be completely ready to face this challenge, they will try their best to be able to compete in the UCL next season.

Some of the teams that qualify for the UEL next season, it seems that As Roma and Manchester United could be quite strong teams there, although there are many other strong teams that have the potential to qualify for the UEL final next season, but I believe that As Roma also seems to be successful next season. If De Rossi has the financial support to be able to get more players in their main squad, the tight competition will also make the match at UEL even better. Apart from that, Manchester United, who are retaining Ten Hag, should also be able to show their abilities at UEL later.

The achievements obtained by Leverkusen are of course due to the help of Xabi Alonso who succeeded in making Leverkusen a team that is difficult to beat, in fact I myself was very enthusiastic when I was going to watch their final match against Atalanta, even though I was behind in the first half I thought Leverkusen would turn things around in second half, but in fact Atalanta dominated more, apart from that, Leverkusen's game at that time I saw that they didn't play well because in my opinion they played unsettledly, I don't know what made them play less than optimally.

In my opinion, Roma is still on the verge of confusion if De Rossi does not receive full support, including from a financial perspective. That will make things difficult for him, because we know coaches will have difficulties if they play with minimal players, because they also have their own tastes, so to develop I think they must be given full support.
