Leverkusen have won the German Super Cup and it was hell of a work honestly.

Because they got a red card in the first half but this still didn't stop them. Even though Stuttgart got ahead, they came back and won by penalties. Xabi Alonso is continuing on his magical run. Starting the season with trophy must be feeling superb for the whole team and the fans.

It is good to see that the same spirit exists among the players. Maybe another unbeaten run is about to start... Tongue

This achievement at the start of the new season is a big boast of confidence to the boys to both in their domestic league and, the champion's league especially which I believe they will shine with the quality of coach they have in Alonso.

Bayer Leverkusen showed a fighting spirit of it's not over until it's over, they didn't allowed their one man down in number to affect their performance. The coordination was still intact that they managed to get a comeback taking the game to penalty kicks to eventually beat Stuttgart to the trophy. What a way to start the season!

This Bayern Leverkusen side is actually proving that they aren't a one season wonder, because initially, most fan and pundit alike thought that their season of wonder would ends this season, that they wouldn't be able to replicate their last season form, but by the look of things, nothing has changed in this Bayern Leverkusen team, they are still as relentless as they are known for, just look at the kind of performance they put in yesterday with a man down, it's very clear to me now that they are actually not going away any time soon, and Bayern Munich needs to be ultra good this season to be able to knock Bayern Leverkusen off that path of dominance they are headed to.
But for them to continue in the way they are right now, the hierarchy of Bayern Leverkusen must do everything in their power to retain the services of all their key players, so that the rythme of the team will not be disrupted.

Indeed, Bayer Leverkusen are now in the front burner as threat to Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga thereby pushing teams like Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig etc to the back bench in the league. And true, Beyer Leverkusen vibrancy is not going to fade anytime time in as much as they retain and maintain the same players then
also bringing in more quality players to add in building the team's form.

And as for Alonso I hope he stays and continue to enjoy his stay in the club for more seasons because he is the engine room behind all the magic. The motivation for the squad is there with him still in the club and I think many players would only want to leave by virtue of Alonso leaving . That been said, undeniably the extraordinary performance of Bayer Leverkusen last season has increased the competition in bundlesliga distorting the dominance of Bayern Munich making the league more exciting and interesting.
