I have almost the same view as you but Bayern Munich does not deserve to be eliminated from the competition because they also have the capacity even though the chances are small because the team is handled by Kompany. Alonso and Nuri Sahin will definitely apply the philosophy that is there to dominate the Bundesliga, while Alonso is on top because he has been able to prove his capacity last season. It's just that the challenges this season will be different and it seems difficult for Alonso to be able to maintain his record like last season.
Bundesliga is entertaining and also consider competitive because there's presence of Xabi Alonso, one of the cruel manager that's always sick to wanting the very best performance, he single-handedly grab all the accolades from other managers previous season. Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Borrusia Dortmund are the faces of Bundesliga. These clubs represents Germany in the UEFA Champions League, they're tough and exert substantial amazing performance and statistics.
