Bayer Leverkusen have bigger shoes to wear this time around because now their focus is actively divided although last season it was also but this time around it will be the champions league of which they might not be able to Stand most of the top teams there and when you are playing and then you constantly lose games then the form and mentality of the team also deteriorate to a very big extent.
The Champions League Competition might have bigger and stronger clubs innit but the UEFA European Europa League Competition has got to be very tough too. Playing football matches on Thursday and then playing on sundays are way stressful than playing on Tuesday/Wednesdays!
There'll be no excuses right now. They should have been prepared for the Champions League Competition already, I believe that they could still come out top of their group in the Champions League Competition. The settings might have changed but we will see, they don't have too many players who have left the club.
The Bundesliga League Competition also is another competition I want to see them win again. They might have started slowly but so much room for improvements from.this Xabi Alonso's side.
