Well I don't why my thoughts are this way but I feel Bayern Leverkusen this season will be the center of eyes of all their opponent they are playing because in the football world now knows the capability of this team and will definitely not underated them and this was what Leverkusen also used to win lots of games as team didn't actually knew their capability and aslo game style but this time this case would be different and that's why they need to work hard @xabi Alonso.
Your is actually same with that which most persons have got in recent times so it not even out of place and it's very normal for almost everyone to want to think the way because the record they had both in the domestic league and the Europa is such that everyone would want to know if they will be able to repeat it again in the coming season. Last season them not been a popular team know for a very good performance was an advantage and that helped them achieve the much they achieved because before people begin to realize how much they are doing and the potential they have got, it was late already and the season was almost coming to an end .
In the coming season which is the new season, I believe that Leverkusen will be given attention even from the very beginning of the season because they are now known to have a form that shouldn't be joked with especially as compared to what they were able to achieve through last season. Any team that will be playing against Leverkusen in the domestic and champions league will want to do only but their best because they are now seeing Leverkusen as a top team like Madrid and Manchester city and so Madrid will have to work even harder to be able to maintain their status in this new season even if not with the records again but having decent finish in both league games.
