In the Bundesliga next season Bayer Leverkusen will still be the favorite team to win the title again even though it will be difficult to repeat the unbeaten record like last season. However, the only thing that many people will see more for the Leverkusen team next season is when Leverkusen competes in the Champions League. Because it is a much more prestigious league, it will make any achievements achieved by Leverkusen remembered by many people, even though in this competition it is always not easy for all teams to compete.

I don't expect them to be able to repeat the same thing with an undefeated record like last season, but I just hope they can still be very consistent in providing good games again and competing at the top again to defend the title they have won. In my opinion it will be more difficult to defend than to win, and that will be a challenge for Xabi Alonso and his team next season.

Meanwhile, in the Champions League, I hope they can also show that they can compete with tougher clubs. Clubs that are in the Champions League are clubs that are at a different level, I mean they are better, mentally and in terms of game, compared to the clubs they have met in the Bundesliga and in the European League.

They have to prepare everything as well as possible, at least they have to give the best possible game so they can go further and talk more in the Champions League next season. I also hope that the expectations placed on them will not disturb their mentality.

Here we have few things as they are and having no changes into their squad this is big success for them and in Bundesliga we are having some decline in few teams like Bayern Munich and Stuttgart which is also good point for them and if they are able to keep things at the level which they are having in last season without any doubt no team is going to stop them from having another memorable season under Xabi Alonso which could be surely a new era here in Bundesliga as well which mean Bayern Munich supremacy is going to be ended for some time.

In Champions League we always have the toughest things for all teams, so this is surely big test case for them, and they have to well prepare for this if they want to stay positive and having good success Xabi Alonso is well experienced as player so most chances we will have good strategy from him after having good end of last season in all competitions.
