In fact, it is very difficult to maintain what was achieved last season, now Leverkusen has lost 13 points since the start of the season with details of 5 draw and 1 loss. But so far they remain a threat to Munich who are trying to win back the Bundesliga trophy. I admit, Leverkusen's performance is not too bad, they are only 4 points behind Munich who are in first place. This competition will make the League more competitive, every match must be considered important because if Leverkusen loses points it will make the difference between the two even bigger.
Not only in the Bundesliga that looks difficult to maintain what was achieved by a team last season, but in other Leagues too (except the French League) so that teams that have previously won must always assume that defending the title will not be easy enough because every season there is always quite different competition. And this season Munich itself still has pressure to stay at the top of the standings until the end of the season because Leverkusen will continue to improve its performance in order to get closer to Munich's points in the Bundesliga standings.
