Actually, Leverkusen performance this season hasn't been too bad, they are still considered successful in the context of making the Bundesliga trophy rice competition remain competitive, so it's not easy for Bayern Munich to dominate again. Repeating the success of last season is very difficult, as it requires a lot of luck. Regarding Leverkusen chances of defending the trophy, I think the chances are still open, it's still possible to close the 6-point gap. That's right, we also shouldn't say too early that Bayern Munich will win it this season, because there's still a possibility that the situation could change in the remaining 6 matches.
For a club coming into this season as the defending champions after such a spectacular season before this season with a record breaking invincible achievement I think this is definitely a poor season for them. I would have reiterated that it is not a bad season had they been departures after such good season but their wasn’t any player that was sold off so I actually thought for once in many decades that a Bundesliga club will put Bayern Munich off the tittle for two seasons in a row.
Personally I think Bayer Leverkusen should’ve used this period of Bayern Munich been unstable to cement a position as their Bundesliga biggest rival but it is looking like a one season wonder if they fail to win anything this season. The league seemed to be over yesterday not until Buendia’s injury time goal against struggling Heidenheim who many thought would have shipped in many goals against Leverkusen but the Xabi Alonso boys were themselves poor yesterday
