Last year, Alonso identified his opponents' weaknesses very well and developed tactics accordingly. He didn't just develop a tactic. This shows us that he is versatile. I am hopeful about Xabi. I also wonder if next year he will show us how long he can keep the record. They are still undefeated in official matches in Germany. Their only defeat was against Atalanta in the grand final.

Leverkusen's defeat in the grand final against Atalanta was very natural and normal even though the location was very painful for Leverkusen. However, for next season there are many fans who will again see how Alonso will spend another season with Leverkusen in a greater competition, namely the Champions League and also the Bundesliga, where Alonso will also be determined to maintain his unbeaten record in the Bundesliga next season again with conditions which is a bit heavy of course.

Honestly, the defeat was really a painful thing for Leverkusen because, seriously, it really broke a great record Leverkusen wanted to set in the Europa competition. If Atalanta had not defeated them, it would have been a great achievement for them to win both the Bundesliga and Europa League without being unbeaten. The way Atalanta defeated Leverkusen in the final match was surprising to many of us because I don't think many of us expected something like that to happen. Now that Leverkusen is playing in the Champions League next season, let's just wait and see how their form will look.

Leverkusen may be strong next season, but I don't think that an unbeaten streak will happen again. The Champions League is really different from the Europa League; the Champions League is always a tough competition. In the Bundesliga, I don't think they will have the chance to repeat an unbeaten season again.
