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.
I think so, Bayern Leverkusen have defend almost 100% current composition players and not drastically change with Xabi Alonso tactician because many key players in this season keep staying.
Have consistency performance in this season become most higher unbeaten record until 54 matches all competition I think Bayern Leverkusen will make the same thing their appearance in Champion League next season.
But who will be the next candidate teams in Europe League following impressive performance of Bayern Leverkusen next season? the finalist Europe League teams in this season will participants in Champion League and which one team bigger potential break Bayern Leverkusen unbeaten record in Europe league until reach final round?
Assuming Leverkusen was able to win Atalanta on that finals, it would have being a great record for them in the history of football, but they couldn't make that history as Atalanta thwarted it. Leverkusen is as strong as last season and I don't think that it will be a problem for them to win Bundesliga if they have the determination as they did last season.
Champions league will be a challenge for Leverkusenand Xabi Alonso because they will be playing with tough teams that are more experienced than them in the league. It will be nice if Leverkusen gives us a surprise package in UCL next season with their brilliant performance.
