With the quality of players Leverkusen currently has, it will be very difficult to compete with Bayern Munich, as Kompany's team is much more developed. Erik ten Hag arrived at a time of rapid development, but several of Leverkusen's potential players have left with Xabi Alonso's move to Real Madrid. The most realistic option is to fight for a top-three finish, as fighting for the title against a much superior Bayern Munich is a significant challenge.
A lot has been speculated concerning what the performance of Bayer Leverkusen is going to be their season and some people including myself is of the opinion that the Leverkusen team will have challenges competing with Bayern Munich team in the league because they are looking better than them in terms of the squad depth but then I think it not good to draw conclusions yet when we haven't seen the performance of the team under the new manager Ten Hag I believe if Leverkusen team finds it difficult to withstand other teams in the league they will regret why they let their players go.
