I am the same, I do not have high hopes for them, because I know they have not been able to perform optimally in the Champions League. While in the Champions League, the teams that are their competitors are strong teams, especially when they enter the knockout stages, all those here are certainly the best teams of the 36 teams in the first phase.
But there is still hope, for me no matter how small the opportunity a team has, if they can utilize it well, then they will be able to achieve something satisfying. And don't forget, talking about football also talks about things that seem difficult to happen can become reality.
Sometimes some clubs from the representatives of the Bundesliga always give surprises in the European arena, none other than Bayern Munich, even though they appear like a breeze whether in the Champions League or in the Bundesliga, as you said, they can focus especially in the Champions League because the distance with Leverkusen is only 8 points in the Bundesliga, for Bayern Munich in facing Leverkusen, it is certainly very interesting in the last 16 later and this meeting is very rare for us to see, so this can be detrimental or prove their strength in the Champions League and this is no longer about the Bundesliga but proving who is the strongest between the two.
Bayern Munich itself is a team that has the ability to do the best in the Champions League, but the competition in the Champions League itself is very tight and sometimes the results are not because of the form of the game, but because of mentality and luck. Because their competitors also have abilities that are not much different, so that makes their chances more balanced to be able to win the match. Even a few seasons earlier, Borussia Dortmund was able to be in the final, even though at that time their performance in the Bundesliga was not good either.
