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.
Last season no one could doubt Leverkusen and Xabi after their success in winning the Bundesliga even though at the beginning of the season they did not really get the confidence from many people to be able to surpass Bayern Munich or even win the Bundesliga.
But now Leverkusen and Xabi are very much believed by everyone to be able to defend the title and be able to make the competition in the Bundesliga presented again in an interesting way like last season.
In fact, they are also considered to be team that can appear impressively for the UCL competition, although it has not been really confirmed for sure but at least they are likely to be able to make all this happen.
It just that for Dortmund I not so sure, indeed they managed to bring in some pretty great players this summer but that does not guarantee that in the first season these players can appear impressively with Dortmund.
