Before they were confirmed as the German Bundesliga champions last season, Bayer Leverkusen had already been confirmed as one of the teams that'll play in the UEFA Champions League competition this season so it's a not a surprise to them that they'll be playing in Europe's biggest and most prestigious club competition and that's why they're expected to be prepared for what lies ahead of them. Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso have already shown enough managerial abilities for anyone not to undermine his team and I believe they'll have a good campaign come next season.

Yes you are right I agree that Bayer Leverkusen did well last season so it is no surprise they are playing in Champions League. They should be ready for it. Their manager Xabi Alonso is good at his job like we can see how he is managing the team so I think they will do well. He has experience and knows how to make good decisions during games and how to manage the team and players. This will help them in the Champions League. I am excited to see how far they will go in the competition.

I think Bayer Leverkusen performance last season helped them to set the unbeaten record they had last season and the league trophy and cup but coming to this new season they will be faced with a lovor challenges since they will be playing in the champions league competition which will be difficult for them since they are appearing in the champions league after a long time and they will need to also defend their league cup and league title as their biggest rivals Bayern Munich will be fighting to take back their position and win the league back from them so the manager of Leverkusen Xabi Alonso will have a great responsibility to do a better work and to ensure his team gets better next season.

The Leverkusen team was in great form last season and the players were very confident. The team went undefeated in the Bundesliga and won the title. But the important thing is that Leverkusen will play in the Champions League this season. Consistently performing well in the Champions League and Bundesliga at the same time is a difficult task. So I have considerable doubt that the Leverkusen team will be able to perform as well as last season.

But Xabi Alonso is a very experienced coach. And he is taking necessary measures to strengthen his team. We have seen erratic performances from Leverkusen players in friendly matches. Before the start of the season we cannot say for sure how the team will perform in the upcoming season. But I hope Leverkusen will fight for the Bundesliga title next season as well.

Professional teams never think that if they do well in one major tournament they will not worry about another tournament. Leverkusen qualified for the Champions League last season due to their excellent performances in the local league and they secured the Bundesliga title last season after going undefeated, so next season they have the challenge of retaining the title of the local league tournament as well as doing well in the Champions League. It may be challenging for any team to do well in two tournaments simultaneously but professional teams always take up this challenge. Leverkusen are definitely a professional team so they need to plan to do well in the two tournaments and move forward accordingly. Their biggest rivals in the local league will be Bayern Munich and Dortmund, while every team in the Champions League is a tough opponent for them, so there is no alternative to a proper plan.
