I think the journey of bayern munich to defend their title is much easier for next season it because bayern munich will not gets decent opponents to fight for race title and why i am saying that because leverkusen as their strong opponent in the last 2 season is not strong anymore especially next season leverkusen lost Xabi Alonso and some of their key players such as Jonathan Tah, Jeremie Frimpong and the latest is Florian Wirtz which more likely will go to Liverpool so my prediction is leverkusen next season will struggle to find their consistency and i would not putting them as the candidate of the title
This seems to need to be taken into consideration for next season because after all, at this time Leverkusen seems ready to lose several pillars including from players and coaches.
It is certain now that Xabi is leaving the coaching chair he currently occupies, Wirtz is also likely to go to Liverpool for this season and Jonathan Tah has actually since last season been in demand by Bayern and there was almost an agreement only this did not happen and he remained at Leverkusen but this season it looks like he is leaving too the possibility is very large.
Last season maybe he still agreed to run the season at Leverkusen but the strong temptation with a big name like Bayern seems like this will not be easy to resist so I'm pretty sure sooner or later he also left especially with the words every player will eventually belong to Bayern is still very strong when we talk about the Bundesliga.
