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.
No team has done an unbeaten run in the league matches in a two times season consecutively, so I’m not expecting Bayern Leverkusen to be able to accomplish that next season. They can give it a try to see, but I’m not that confidence that they can pull that through if they try. All teams have already seen their potential and will not want to play with them unprepared or allow them to have an unbeaten run for the second time. Bayern Leverkusen have a greater task ahead of them even if they don’t fight for the unbeaten run to win the Bundesliga, the teams they’ve won on both legs or drew some matches with, they’ll want to avenge that in the next season. Next season will certainly not be an easy one for Xabi Alonso, so he should be extra prepared for it.
