Bayern Munich ended without a trophy for the first time in over ten years last season. Bayern Munich has a great record of winning trophies, but last season was not on their side, there is no inconsistency in their games, which is why they did not win the league. Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, never gave up in their games last season, even when they were losing in the 90 plus, they fought hard to win or draw their games. And that is how they want the team to perform, when Bayern Munich started conceding goals, they gave up on their games, they couldn't perform like a team trying to win the league title, and they lacked motivation from the manager.

The difference in mentality is clearly visible between these two teams where Leverkusen really doesn't want to lose and all the players agree to always pursue the good results they are achieving regardless of how long it takes them. Because of this, they are much more mature and use their last abilities to avoid defeat.

I think Bayern Munich next season will still be the same because they don't have as mature a preparation as they did last season and on the other hand, Leverkusen will be much more used to it after going through these difficult times to win the title. So I will continue to favor Leverkusen with the minimum number of players and they don't need to be afraid of pressure from Bayern Munich who continue to improve the depth of their squad.

Xabi Alonso succeeded in instilling a winning mentality in each of his players, so that the unbeaten record they recorded last season was not just luck. The competition for trophies next season will certainly become more competitive, Bayern Munich and all the Bundesliga contestants will certainly put pressure on Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso ambition to repeat his success is quite large, his decision to stay with Leverkusen shows this. Throughout the club history, Leverkusen have been trying to get to that point, they are used to suffering, their success last season changed history. The journey next season feels even more interesting, because Leverkusen will be in the Champions League, the challenges they will face are clearly much bigger than last season.
