I would agree with that of course. This is why the work Xabi Alonso did in the 23/24 season was incredible. Grin

It isn't easy to put up such a fight against dominant teams of the biggest European leagues normally.

Bayern Munich has such a powerful squad that even Kompany won the Bundesliga easily despite having no experience of managing a top team. Their weak side was seen in the Champions League but it can be improved in time.

Xabi Alonso have bigger influence for Bayern Leverkusen by winning domestic league and DFB Pokal Cup at season 2023/24, indeed in this season failure for winning any one tittle but still not bad achievement for Leverkusen finished at 2nd standings position and qualified at Champion League next season. Since appointing Erik ten Hag as Bayern Leverkusen new manager I think he need time for adapting well such as Alonso need two season for his achievement by winning Bundesliga tittle.

Bayern Munich under Kompany era have been success by winning domestic league tittle this season, they have signed Jonathan Tah from Bayern Leverkusen with free agent make them more solid team for next season. Last two season, Bundesliga winner always difference teams such last two season winning by Leverkusen and this season Bayern Munich become the winner, will next season have opportunity winning by difference teams?
