Yes no doubt that Leverkusen played very well in Bundesliga but it is still hard for them to beat Bayern Munich who are usually best team. Because of this Leverkusen can not win any trophies this season. You thought they might win DFB Pokal especially since they were playing smaller team that was not doing very well. But Xabi and team did not take advantage of this chance missing many opportunities and ultimately losing. Now that they have lost they can not be able to win trophy.
Yes, Leverkusen's defeat in the DFB Pokal was truly their fault, both Xabi, who composed and managed his strategy and also his players who were unable to read the situation and could not be optimal. They even had a hard time breaking through Arminia's goal just like they had a hard time attacking Bayern Munich.
Xabi said that everything was good, it just didn't go according to plan. And in the end, they missed so many chances. 13 shots and 4 shots on target, but only 1 goal. And what is clear is, there were many individual mistakes, lost control of emotions and mentality, and I'm sure, there are still some players who underestimate their opponents so they were very shocked when Leverkusen failed to advance to the semi-finals.
