I believe Leverkusen still has the potential to become Bundesliga champions next season. I put Leverkusen as the first favorite and Munich as the second favorite to win the Bundesliga. But I'm not sure they will be able to win the UCL next season. This season Leverkusen has really impressed in the UEL. They managed to reach the final but unfortunately they lost to Atalanta. Hats off to Alonso who has succeeded in turning a mediocre team like Leverkusen into a very solid squad. Alonso will always be remembered as the coach who came closest to achieving the invincible treble, a prestigious achievement that as far as I know has never been achieved by any coach in Europe, or even in the world.
The praises on Xabi Alonso after the big performance in their last season campaign have been much and a well deserved one for a great performance like that one. I have also seen that the team management and players still have trust in him to lead them to another victory in the coming season. His performance were not over hyped and he deserves every bit of comment given to him now after the season. He ought to have been preparing himself for the next season because it holds a more bigger competition to him which he has to prove to the world that he is capable of achieving victory against and not just a wonder luck coach. His achievements will be written close to his name whenever his name is mentioned in the Bundesliga, a hero indeed which deserves all accolades for a job well done for his team and also a great performance to lead the almost lost team to their first ever victory in a decade.
