But you forget that the previous year Bayer Leverkusen reached the Europa League final, yes Xabi Alonso has little experience as a coach in the Champions League, but you have to take into account that Bayer Leverkusen do not have the champions that Real Madrid have in their squad.
I know they qualified for the Europa League final last season. But is the Europa League as competitive as the Champions League in any way? Every team that qualified for the Champions League is strong. But how many strong teams are there in the Europa League?
And you also said that Leverkusen doesn't have a champion like Real Madrid in their squad. I completely agree with that. Real Madrid has a lot of star players in their squad. And you will definitely agree with me that it is very difficult to manage star players. I don't know yet whether Xabi Alonso has the ability. But I believe Alonso will not disappoint Madrid fans. Let's see what happens.
