If Leverkusen can keep up to their game pattern and improve their performance, it is still possible for them to defend the title. One thing I know is that they cannot be unbeaten next season because alot of clubs are planning and preparing for them right now for next season.
It is really a bad season for Bayern Munich last season based on who they are. It has been long that Bayern Munich missed the title and this should the a warning for them that other clubs are building their team to be very strong in order to win the title because they are not the only club in Germany.
Unfortunately, Leverkusen brilliant performance in the Bundesliga could not be transmitted to the Europa League. Leverkusen was able to maintain its best performance in the Bundesliga but this could not be continued in the Europa League. Leverkusen almost made great history since the club was founded, but Atalanta dashed Leverkusen dreams by humiliating them in the final match.
Leverkusen increasing performance became a nightmare for Bayern Munich, they managed to win the Bundesliga trophy while making Bayern Munich end the season without any title. Leverkusen success seems to leave deep wounds due to failing to win the Europa League trophy, even though previously they were considered the team with the most potential to win the title.
