In football many surprises happen, but predictions are also important, regardless of what happens later, it will be different, but predictions are needed for those who place bets, predictions and feelings are really needed.
Surprises that occur in football have become commonplace, in a full season we see a lot of surprises, such as what happened in the Europa League final when Leverkusen were beaten, so I think that is something that is normal and something that must be remembered also in Europa League in particular, almost every season there are big surprises that happen.
For Leverkusen, who will appear in the Champions League next season, of course they will prepare a team that is much stronger than last season and indeed since Xabi Alonso became Leverkusen coach, this team has continued to develop in a positive direction, so I will not underestimate them for next season. will appear in the Champions League.
Of course there are many surprises in football and we have already seen many of them in all the various leagues were people will have a strong believe do the performance of the team and draw conclusion that they will surely win the trophy but at the end the club they did not even expect will actually become the winner, however even on this season premier league when Liverpool was so much good and leading the first position while Manchester City was on the third almost everybody was certain that Liverpool will be the winner but everything just turn around next moment, so actually surprises is actually what makes every leagues to be more interesting, however in respect to the performance of Bayern Leverkusen they have a good team but there focus should majorly be on there local league because putting all there energy on both there local and the champions League could actually cost them a lot.
Football is full of surprises and that is why we see those results playing out the opposite as others thought it will be. You are right, Leverkusen needs to focus more on their domestic league because it will be very hard for them to reach the semifinals in UCL. The reason is that there are so many strong clubs in UCL.
If Leverkusen can improve their performance and take their UCL matches serious, they might go far but they have more hope in Bundesliga than in UCL. However Europa League is not as tough as UCL, so let them know that it will not be an easy win for them in UCL.
