Xabi will surely make early efforts to prepare the team for the UCL. UCL is a tough league and it is not like UEL. They won the European league last year and mathematically they have a chance of winning the UCL this year. In this case, the players should be both more physically durable and mentally more confident that they can achieve this in UCL matches. Xabi, steps must be taken on these two issues.
Xabi Alonso, who completed an extraordinary season last season in the Bundesliga, can indeed be expected to continue to produce another extraordinary season next season. Last season Leverkusen only failed in the European League final. But still, next season Leverkusen with Xabi Alonso will have a better chance by competing in the UCL. And I also hope that Leverkusen will be able to achieve good results there next season. But yes, more careful preparation is needed. Because more difficult challenges will certainly await Xabi Alonso's team. The UCL is much more difficult than the Europa League. And apart from that, they certainly also want to maintain their title in the Bundesliga. but Bayern Munich will definitely try to stop Leverkusen. So next season might be a more challenging journey for Leverkusen.
