I don’t feel like same will happen with Real Madrid because Bayern Leverkusen do not have experienced players that have played in the champions league more than Real Madrid has. They keep coming to play in this competition every year because of their best performance each season they depict. So it won’t be a hard one for Xabi Alonso to navigate with them through the champions league next season. They are the best in this competition and Xabi Alonso is an old player here that did well during his time in the club, so I don’t expect anything less than optimum performance by Real Madrid in the champions league next season.

Player quality is important but a club tradition is more important as it can affect player's mentality and readiness for dealing with pressure and expectation in big tournaments and big matches. Leverkusen are far under Real Madrid in their squad value, quality and club tradition and it's really hard for Leverkusen to compete well in Champions League and win this title.

Xabi Alonso came and upgraded Bayer Leverkusens in the last three seasons but it's time for farewell and he will return to Real Madrid very soon for a new chapter of his coach career. With his smartness and already proven coach management capability in Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid can expect good improvements with him, however Leverkusen will face with a chaotic summer transfer market and a next season.

PSG happens to be the team that eliminated all the premier league sides they’ve met with in this competition and this is really the result of hardwork and consistency to have made it to the finals of this competition. With such great performance, I don’t think any team can look down on them and see them as not going to give a tough time to win the champions league trophy. They will definitely give each other tough times but in the end, the better team with the best performance will win the trophy.

It is kind of destiny of PSG in this season but these results are not enough to say PSG are better than all clubs in Premier League or Ligue 1 already became a better league than Premier League. PSG have to forget all those wins for better preparation in the final match with as most careful plans for it as possible. They will have a second chance to win a first ever title in Champions League for their club. Such great opportunity is certainly very stressful but PSG must overcome it and beat Inter Milan in the final match. Otherwise, this final match will be another lesson for their future success.

I believe Real Madrid will unlock some of his career competences and I know Xabi Alonso is also preparing towards what he could offer the club to make a new difference as well as in setting a new record for himself and the entire club, I wish him all the best, because I know he could deliver being an experienced player himself, he has his own developed tactics and what to use in making a difference for Real Madrid FC.
