Hoping to compete for the title against Bayern Munich may be far from ideal, but being able to compete in the top three at the end of the season is much better. There have been many changes at Leverkusen, with several key players leaving, and Ten Hag's arrival as head coach doesn't guarantee the team's progress. Dortmund is also experiencing the same problem and now the team's condition is not much better so hoping for Dortmund or Leverkusen to break Bayern Munich's dominance has no chance at all because Bayern Munich's strength is much stronger with the arrival of a number of new players.
Dortmund and Leverkusen won't pose a serious threat to Bayern Munich this season, as neither team is yet on par with Bayern Munich in terms of strength. However, if we look at the details, Dortmund might be better than Leverkusen this season, although Dortmund won't be able to break Bayern Munich's dominance this season, as Munich remains quite solid with the depth of their squad. I wouldn't expect anything less from Leverkusen or Dortmund this season, as Munich will never neglect any opportunity to win this season.
