Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[QueenVera]

I think Leverkusen have prepared for this match well, but fatigue has occurred in their players who played at full strength until towards the end of the season until finally being careless and experiencing defeat. There is no perfect club that has not experienced defeat in one season because there are still clubs from other leagues who will break their unbeaten record. that is, if the opposing club underestimates the opposing club too much and thinks its opponent is easier to beat even though in fact we cannot predict surprises in football beforehand because both clubs have the same ambition to win this prestigious trophy. There is no such thing as underestimating each other because Atalanta is also not a bottom club in the domestic league so you should be careful.

Yes, this defeat made Xabi Alonso realize that his club must be able to learn an important lesson that to achieve success it must be accompanied by hard work and not to be arrogant if they underestimate their opponents. Leverkusen must use this defeat as a lesson to correct their mistakes and perform better next season. Leverkusen still have one DFB cup final game to play and once again they should not underestimate their opponents even though they look weaker.

The disappointment of losing the Europa League final and ending their unbeaten record in such a manner is unpleasant for Leverkusen.  Not being able to grab the UEL trophy and at thesame time conceding three goals without a goal in return only makes the talk of the defeat wild.  The final goal to conclude the loss scored in the dire minute of the game and at a crucial time of the season for Leverkusen only increases the level of disappointment and will be a definite reoccurrence in the mind of the team as a whole.

 Despite the huge loss, Leverkusen's overall season performance remains remarkable. Even having failed in the final, their achievements throughout the season shouldn't be looked away. However, the game of two nights ago gives them the importance of addressing weaknesses and staying vigilant, as other teams will undoubtedly take note of Atalanta's successful tactics and seek to exploit Leverkusen's vulnerabilities in future encounters. This loss serves as a learning experience, motivating Leverkusen to regroup, refine their strategies, and strive for even greater success in the seasons to come.

 It's definitely a huge lesson to be learnt by the German side. Really they were put at a spot they shouldn't have been so vulnerable to be and at thesame time Atalanta used that game to gain victory and confidence. The German side are hardworking no doubt and I personally still have a good level of conviction in them. They should learn from the mistakes of the loss, remarkable feat they've attained. It's safe to commend them greatly. Both teams literally deserves good commendation.

Absolutely true and that is an achievement that is rarely achieved by other coaches on their first debut with their new club. Xabi Alonso has gone so far from most coaches and who would have thought that he would achieve such impressive results at a mediocre club that doesn't even have star players. It could be said that this kind of success only comes once in a lifetime and Xabi Alonso has found the right formula for Leverkusen's revival.

Defeat is as normal as winning in football and this defeat will definitely make Leverkusen more mature and can make them strengthen what they already have. Talking about the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen certainly doesn't want the same mistakes to be repeated and even though their opponents will be a weak team from a lower division, they can't underestimate them in the slightest if they want to win this title.

That almost never happens, especially when talking about modern football like now because usually the clubs that succeed in achieving the title are only those who have much better financial capabilities. But Xavi Alonso proved that and he succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, which has long been difficult for any team in the Bundesliga to beat. Xabi Alonso should have been able to win three titles this season, but he failed in the final when he faced Atalanta in the European league.

Now the opportunity is still quite open in the DFB Pokal and I think it will be easy for him because he will face a much weaker opponent. However, Xabi Alonso has given his best for Leverkusen and it may be difficult to maintain this dominance next season because the competition will definitely get tougher.

[tusandii]

Honestly, Leverkusen went 51 games unbeaten, even though they did ended up losing at the finals, that doesn't mean that they had a bad season overall, winning the league at Bundesliga is already a huge achievement, no team achieved that over Bayern in over a decade, so being able to do that alone is so greatest in my perspective.

Plus, they are going to play the cup game, which I really feel like they are putting some immense pressure on themselves now, they had confidence that they can beat anyone, but after Atalanta I am damn sure that they are not entirely sure.

But to be fair, they are playing a team one division below so it would be even bigger shock if they lose. They will most likely finish with a double, and that is going to be a great thing for them, we shouldn't judge them on just one game.

But what is certain is that even though he lost in the European final, Xabi Alonso has proven that there has been improvement in his first year coaching, the semifinals are now final even though he lost. so the praise for Xabi Alonso is very deserved, and maybe next season Xabi Alonso will make a big surprise in the UCL league.

Indeed, this was Leverkusen's first defeat this season which was very painful because the defeat occurred in the final. However, Leverkusen's achievements this season are truly extraordinary, with 51 matches unbeaten. It will take a very long time for another team to break Leverkusen's current record. I think that by losing to Atalanta in the European Cup final, Leverkusen will vent everything in the DFB cup, especially against a team that is far below them, of course the DFB Cup trophy belongs to Bayerkusen so they can combine the two trophies this season.

Absolutely true and that is an achievement that is rarely achieved by other coaches on their first debut with their new club. Xabi Alonso has gone so far from most coaches and who would have thought that he would achieve such impressive results at a mediocre club that doesn't even have star players. It could be said that this kind of success only comes once in a lifetime and Xabi Alonso has found the right formula for Leverkusen's revival.

Defeat is as normal as winning in football and this defeat will definitely make Leverkusen more mature and can make them strengthen what they already have. Talking about the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen certainly doesn't want the same mistakes to be repeated and even though their opponents will be a weak team from a lower division, they can't underestimate them in the slightest if they want to win this title.

This failure is a very valuable experience and this has been one of the best experiences that Leverkusen and Alonso have had, who can really produce big results like this and never expected that it could end with a success like this season.
I agree with you even though Leverkusen failed in the European league but in the eyes of all other clubs Leverkusen looks very great and is highly appreciated because it was able to reach the final round through all obstacles from other clubs without being defeated even though they ended up losing.
This is a great experience that can be turned into good learning in the future when Alonso can really turn failure into success in the coming season.

Leverkusen fans still believe in this season even though they failed in the UEL, but in the coming season they will definitely prove it in a bigger competition in the Champions League.
This experience also gave Leverkusen great strength to have the courage to spend a little more money to bring in star players.

[Dzwaafu11]

I don’t think Leverkusen will not have this kind of performance this next season, Leverkusen can not do unbeaten performances next season in the Bundesliga league, and it will be very difficult because next season is going to be tough. After all, many teams are ready for them, most especially Bayern Munich ready for Leverkusen next season so that they can revenge what Leverkusen did to them this season, Leverkusen will be performing in the champion league next season and will also make them focus in the champion league next than any other league, Xabi Alonso will have to advise his players to perform well in every league that they will play if not they won’t have a good season next season because there will be a lot of pressure on them.

Actually, we don’t really know what will happen next season, and we don’t know how their performance will be next season, so therefore, I won’t predict yet because, despite the fact that Leverkusen came from knowing where and started shining, they can still do it next season because both teams, Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, already know each other's weak points, so next season is going to be tough, and because Bayern Leverkusen are going to look for another trophy again. 

About Bayern Munich, Kompany is going to be Bayern Munich's coach next season, I think the Kompany got fired from the team he was coaching before because of his poor performance during his coaching and now Bayern Munich wants him to be their new coach, Kompany is still a young coach who can help the team but I’m still thinking is he going to make Bayern Munich win trophies next season? Kompany needs to have a good plan on how to use Bayern Munich players if not he will end up like Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich will send him and way without not thinking twice.

Getting a new coach for Bayern Munich doesn’t mean they will come back with full power and get their performance back, and you know that when you get a new coach, the new manager will have to study the squad very well and know how the players are playing, so this may slow their progress in the season. However, age is not going to be what determines how he will manage the team. Let's see how Bayern Munich will do next season because the Bundesliga is going to be tough next season.

[SmartCharpa]

Yeah, Thomas Tuchel is responsible for Bayern Munich's failure this season in the Bundesliga. I don't know why football fans are making it look like it's the fault of Harry Kane why Bayern Munich failed to win the Bundesliga title. I was so shocked when I saw in the news yesterday that Vincent Kompany is leading the race to become Bayern Munich head coach. Vincent Kompany will not be able to deploy tactics that would make Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga title next season. Bayern Munich management is making a big mistake if Vincent Company becomes their head coach because he didn't do anything with Burnley in the Premier League.

I agree with you, Tuchel is responsible for the challenges Bayern Munich faced this season since Bayern Munich was unlucky this season, I thought they could lose their last game of the season to make their fans happy, but they ended up losing their last game of the season. On the other hand, Vincent Kompany is not the right coach to be at the club next season, I think Bayern Munich will make another mistake next season because Burnley got relegated after being promoted to the Premier League last season.

Absolutely true and that is an achievement that is rarely achieved by other coaches on their first debut with their new club. Xabi Alonso has gone so far from most coaches and who would have thought that he would achieve such impressive results at a mediocre club that doesn't even have star players. It could be said that this kind of success only comes once in a lifetime and Xabi Alonso has found the right formula for Leverkusen's revival.

Defeat is as normal as winning in football and this defeat will definitely make Leverkusen more mature and can make them strengthen what they already have. Talking about the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen certainly doesn't want the same mistakes to be repeated and even though their opponents will be a weak team from a lower division, they can't underestimate them in the slightest if they want to win this title.

Although many are trying to judge Xabi Alonso after losing the Europa League final to Atalanta, we should understand that nothing lasts forever, so any club can get defeated by any opponent. Although Bayer Leverkusen has beaten top clubs that are stronger than Atalanta this season, like Bayern Munich and others, they played 51 games unbeaten in all competitions. So I don't think we should be surprised that they got defeated by Atalanta who lost their many games this season. This team has come far from the start of the season, and it looks very difficult for any team in the world to maintain their winning ways throughout the seasons. Xabi has broken Benfica's 48 games unbeaten, I believe that it will be rare for Bayern Munich to achieve this in the Bundesliga league.

However, I believe that Leverkusen will not make this mistake again because this is their last game of the season and the second trophy. Bayer Leverkusen will face no challenges playing against Kaiserslautern because they performance isn't good in their league, they are currently at the 13 positions, and I'm not sure how they qualified for the DFB Pokal Final.

[Asiska02]

Now the opportunity is still quite open in the DFB Pokal and I think it will be easy for him because he will face a much weaker opponent. However, Xabi Alonso has given his best for Leverkusen and it may be difficult to maintain this dominance next season because the competition will definitely get tougher.

After the loss to Atalanta in the Europa League final, Bayern Leverkusen still stand a chance to add to their number of trophies this season after already securing the Bundesliga earlier. Their loss to Atalanta in the finals shouldn’t make them feel weak or disturbed of not been able to achieve success in their DFB Pokal finals. They are playing against a weaker team, so they should be able to win if they put their mind to it. Atalanta failed to win the Copa Italia final but where able to win the Europa League final after that defeat, so I expect the same for Bayern Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal finals.

Getting a new coach for Bayern Munich doesn’t mean they will come back with full power and get their performance back, and you know that when you get a new coach, the new manager will have to study the squad very well and know how the players are playing, so this may slow their progress in the season. However, age is not going to be what determines how he will manage the team. Let's see how Bayern Munich will do next season because the Bundesliga is going to be tough next season.

They can still be great next season and win the Bundesliga after a poor season this year. If you can remember that Thomas Tuchel first year in Bayern Munich, he won the Bundesliga trophy for them and that shouldn’t be a surprise if a new coach that will be joining them next season do the same. Bayern Munich is already an established team with all the best players they can have, so any coach coming to manage them will only have little or non to add to their performance. Any coach with experience and tactical ability can coach and triumph Bayern Munich to victory next season.

[ndutndut]

Yeah, Thomas Tuchel is responsible for Bayern Munich's failure this season in the Bundesliga. I don't know why football fans are making it look like it's the fault of Harry Kane why Bayern Munich failed to win the Bundesliga title. I was so shocked when I saw in the news yesterday that Vincent Kompany is leading the race to become Bayern Munich head coach. Vincent Kompany will not be able to deploy tactics that would make Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga title next season. Bayern Munich management is making a big mistake if Vincent Company becomes their head coach because he didn't do anything with Burnley in the Premier League.

Top scorer among top leagues this season.
A highest rating player in Bayern Munich this season.

Yet people said it's the fault of Harry Kane lol.

Harry Kane really contribute a lot in Bayern Munich, if we want to compare, he's like Jude Bellingham in Real Madrid. Unfortunately the journey of two players are completely different, Real Madrid won La Liga and might win Champions League. While Bayern Munich didn't win anything.

That also makes me confused, why is it that in the midst of the individual success that Harry Kane has achieved, some people blame him for Bayern Munich's failure? If it was a curse, then Tottenham should be able to become champions this season, but that didn't happen either, so I think this is something that doesn't make sense.
I would also question whether this is really Thomas Tuchel's fault? Wasn't it Bayern Munich who appointed Thomas Tuchel, even though at that time Nagelsmann was still fine? However, Bayern Munich was very hasty in firing him.
I think this is a collective mistake, even though the coach will be the first person to be blamed, it is a risk.

It would be strange if Bayern Munich's failure was due to Harry Kane's curse or because he did not appear at his best when in reality at Bayer Munich he was the player who scored the most goals and even contributed the most to the team. Bayern Munich's failure does not depend on just one player but is purely due to Tuchel's mistakes in implementing tactics and not having chemistry with players which has made Bayern Munich's performance this season not solid. As bad as Bayern Munich is, it is very rare for them not to get a trophy in a season, and since being coached by Tuchel, Bayern Munich ending the season without a trophy is truly a big setback.

Yes I agree with you. If you draw the thread, actually Bayern Munich's biggest mistake was when they fired Julian Nugelsman, even though at that time Bayern Munich was fine, maybe now they are being hit by karma because of Julian Nugelsman's dismissal. And maybe there are also other mistakes because Oliver Khan as management still has the same temperamental nature as before, which makes him impatient and communication less stable.

[Oneandpure]

That almost never happens, especially when talking about modern football like now because usually the clubs that succeed in achieving the title are only those who have much better financial capabilities. But Xavi Alonso proved that and he succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, which has long been difficult for any team in the Bundesliga to beat. Xabi Alonso should have been able to win three titles this season, but he failed in the final when he faced Atalanta in the European league.

In football modern era, usually most successful team support with good financial condition and spending much money when window transfer opening. Has difference did for this season by Xabi  Alonso success made Bayern Leverkusen become the winner of Bundesliga just has small fund for signing players but for the first time destroy Bayern Munich dominance since eleven season. I think Bayern Leverkusen could be be rule model for mediocre Bundesliga team with their potential become the winner next season without spending much money on window transfer opening.

Now the opportunity is still quite open in the DFB Pokal and I think it will be easy for him because he will face a much weaker opponent. However, Xabi Alonso has given his best for Leverkusen and it may be difficult to maintain this dominance next season because the competition will definitely get tougher.

Bayern Leverkusen must forget with their failure in Europe League final after defeating by Atalanta, go a head and has one final match left DFB Pokal Cup to get double trophies in this season behind loss opportunity with treble winner. Don't think with the weakness team in the final face by Leverkusen learned how unpredictable result when success defeating by Atalanta at Europe League final match.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I don’t think Leverkusen will not have this kind of performance this next season, Leverkusen can not do unbeaten performances next season in the Bundesliga league, and it will be very difficult because next season is going to be tough. After all, many teams are ready for them, most especially Bayern Munich ready for Leverkusen next season so that they can revenge what Leverkusen did to them this season, Leverkusen will be performing in the champion league next season and will also make them focus in the champion league next than any other league, Xabi Alonso will have to advise his players to perform well in every league that they will play if not they won’t have a good season next season because there will be a lot of pressure on them.

It is possible for Bayer Leverkusen to maintain their good form, but for repeating what they actually did this season, I have some confidence that they can't repeat their unbeaten record; in fact,  it just happened at Lucky despite their good form. Even if a team is in great form, playing unbeaten throughout the season and making it to the league is not easy work. Xabi Alonso is a great coach, and he has really shown how good he is this season, so even next season we are expecting great work from him, and I believe it will still continue to carry the Leverkusen team on top.

About Bayern Munich, Kompany is going to be Bayern Munich's coach next season, I think the Kompany got fired from the team he was coaching before because of his poor performance during his coaching and now Bayern Munich wants him to be their new coach, Kompany is still a young coach who can help the team but I’m still thinking is he going to make Bayern Munich win trophies next season? Kompany needs to have a good plan on how to use Bayern Munich players if not he will end up like Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich will send him and way without not thinking twice.

Yes, I saw the news, but honestly, I thought it was a rumor. but as it is true, I don't know what Bayern Munich sees in the kompany, and they want to sign him as coach. If the kompany cannot cope in Premier League competition, what is the assurance that he will succeed in coaching Bayern Munich well? But let's see what will really happen next season if he becomes Bayern Munich coach. The kompany is not that bad, but I am just thinking he is not a well-experienced coach. He has just started, and the record is not that good this season.he have only coach burley.

[lalabotax]

Unexpected result. If I remember correctly, Bochum was a slight favorite with a quote of 2.35 and Fortuna was quoted as ~2.8. But in the end it all ended in the first game and the second became a formality, I highly doubt that Fortune will play worse at home. It’s a pity that Bochum plays in the knockout games and not Union (which has the same number of points), it would be a much more interesting and competitive pairing.

Yes, but Bochum's performance so far has been very bad. Their motivation is really small. On the other hand, even though Fortuna is in League 2, they have quite a big motivation to get into the main Bundesliga in Germany. However, this is only the first leg, and we will be presented with different results perhaps in the second leg. Or will Bochum's appearance be much more slumped? Yes, that can happen, because later they will play at the Fortuna stadium in the second leg, right?

It is possible for Bayer Leverkusen to maintain their good form, but for repeating what they actually did this season, I have some confidence that they can't repeat their unbeaten record; in fact,  it just happened at Lucky despite their good form. Even if a team is in great form, playing unbeaten throughout the season and making it to the league is not easy work.

In my opinion. as long as Xabi is still there, as long as Xabi can optimize the strategy he applies and also as long as the club supports him, then this will happen. I am sure that in the transfer market, Xabi will make a purchase that can make Leverkusen even stronger. This is beyond doubt, at least this time they have more money and Xabi has more opportunities to buy the best players in his opinion for the club.

[FanEagle]

failure in the European league is not a failure to break Leverkusen spirit because Xabi has succeeded in helping Leverkusen get the Bundesliga title which has been dominated by Munich for so long and now still has high hopes of winning the DFB title to recover from the disappointment in the European league which they lost against Atalanta.
even though it looks very strong and still has great enthusiasm, it doesn't mean that Leverkusen can give a big surprise in the UCL as long as the mentality of the Leverkusen players is still the same as in the European League match yesterday, while the competition in the UCL is very tight and the mentality of the players is an important role for Leverkusen to prove a surprise in the UCL next season.
unless there are changes to the attack line which will be replaced with players who are more experienced and have a champion's mentality who can help Leverkusen become even stronger.

this defeat was indeed a bit unacceptable for most fans, but for me this failure must be tolerated because Leverkusen so far does not have the readiness or experience in terms of competing for the European League title and on the one hand, the experience of a great coach like Xabi is also not very good. has great experience of winning a prestigious title like this season.

I do agree that these type of games have a different tone to it and Leverkusen had just one good season so far, which means that they are not going to be all that commonly facing finals all the time, they are good at the league system because it's league and they did alright there but when it's "win or go home empty handed" games, they are not all that experienced in those situations all that commonly. Sure they had some at europa league, which means that they had a little bit of experience this season but all their experiences comes from this season alone and not previous seasons.

I believe that if Xabi keeps staying and keeps playing this game, they are going to get better at European leagues as well, it's just requires some time.

[Weawant]

Both players in question are among the top ten good players in the world right now, and they are playing different positions that require different responsibilities, and they are both keeping up with it. The reason it looks like Jude Bellingham's name is more mentioned this season than Harry Kane is because he helped Real Madrid win this season's La Liga title. While Kane Harry tried and scored so many goals for Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title, the stubborn Bayern Leverkusen invincible record made them lose out of the Bundesliga title race, and it made Harry Kane look like one who couldn't help Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga title.

Sometimes it's very possible a player can be very good but will not be appreciated enough because of a single factor which may include the winning of the league title and that's exactly the  case of  cane, he's such a brilliant and excellent player but because he wasn't able to win the league title again this season, he's rather considered weak and not good enough to be able to get his team the league title.

He had what looked like the most number of goals by a single player this season in the whole of Europe but then it wasn't considered like such because he wasn't able to win their domestic league title again this season, something they have been able to actually win through out previous seasons of which for me I don't see as a big deal enough because they have won it subsequent seasons of which he has been a key played to such success hence he isn't to be considered a weak player or not have been able to achieve a whole lot, he was able to lead the team to the champions league semi finals and was also able to help the team qualify for the champions league from their domestic aswell.

Next season is another season and we should aswell consider that he's not a very young player and cannot continually be as effective as he would be much earlier than now, he has been really helpful to the team at the beginning of the season and at this point it can be said he's been a good player enough even if he isn't as efficient as he had always been at the very beginning of his arrival to the team.

[Stepstowealth]

Yes, I saw the news, but honestly, I thought it was a rumor. but as it is true, I don't know what Bayern Munich sees in the kompany, and they want to sign him as coach. If the kompany cannot cope in Premier League competition, what is the assurance that he will succeed in coaching Bayern Munich well? But let's see what will really happen next season if he becomes Bayern Munich coach. The kompany is not that bad, but I am just thinking he is not a well-experienced coach. He has just started, and the record is not that good this season.he have only coach burley.

He coached Burnley and was able to take them to the Premier league, and although they have been sent back to relegation, we cannot blame it all on him, the quality of the teams in the league was too much for him to handle with the players he had.

If you have also noticed most of the coaches that learnt coaching under Pep Guardiola have become very good coaches in their team, we see Arsenal coach as an example of that, or players who he coached who have now become coaches , players like Xabi Alonso, Xavi. Vincent Kompany can be another. One of the biggest problems that Bayern Munich had this season was their defense which was very poor but some have managed to save them fine to the Champions League, Vincent Kompany was a very good defender, he will bring changes to Bayern's defense.

With the quality of players that Bayer Munich have Vincent kompany can have the opportunity to show how good he really can be, although it is going to be a big challenge because he will be giving the target to win back the Bundesliga and also win the Champions league.

[Leviathan.007]

Even I remember when Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich some of the Bayern Munich fans were saying they wouldn't be able to win any title during this season because they had Kane in this team. In fact, they knew Kane was not a lucky player and he could make his team to lose the titles they usually won before.
In fact, I think he has a good performance himself but still, some people blame Kane for everything that happened for Bayern Munich dung this season.
However, if they had a more stable team they could have much better results.

[MAAManda]

Three goals without reply seems difficult for Bochum to catch in the second match, so my prediction is that Fortuna Dusseldorf will move up a division and Bochum will be relegated.
Bochum was only able to control possession of the ball but their chances and finishing were quite poor compared to Dusseldorf, Bochum needs four goals without conceding if they want to stay in this division in the second match but that chance is quite small, maybe Bochum can wins the second match but still loses in aggregate goals, I don't see any chance for Dusseldorf to lose with a margin of more than three goals so they fail to move up the division.

Both teams come with different ambitions, Bochum who come from the Bundesliga because they are at the bottom of the table & Fortuna Dusseldorf who come from the 2. Bundesliga and are full of ambition. That's what differentiates these two teams. I think there's no longer any chance for Bochum to catch up, the most reasonable result in the second leg is Bochum winning, but they will not go to the Bundesliga.

[arimamib]

Even I remember when Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich some of the Bayern Munich fans were saying they wouldn't be able to win any title during this season because they had Kane in this team. In fact, they knew Kane was not a lucky player and he could make his team to lose the titles they usually won before.
In fact, I think he has a good performance himself but still, some people blame Kane for everything that happened for Bayern Munich dung this season.
However, if they had a more stable team they could have much better results.

The curse of Harry Kane not winning any trophy has become eternal joke that makes many people even believe that his bad luck is real. This feel so unfair towards the player, because he can't do anything alone to win a league trophy. The spoiled Bayern fans keep repeating this joke to put blame on Harry Kane, and this could backfire them if Harry Kane feels affected by it and loses his confidence next season that will be a bad effect to the team.

Harry Kane has done the best he can do, but the reason for the Bayern's failure is not because Harry Kane or Bayern performed bad, but they were  competing against a 'perfect' team with unbeaten record. Nothing Bayern can do to have a better result except to be a 'perfect' team as well, which is not a normal thing to happen.

[TelolettOm]

Defeat is as normal as winning in football and this defeat will definitely make Leverkusen more mature and can make them strengthen what they already have. Talking about the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen certainly doesn't want the same mistakes to be repeated and even though their opponents will be a weak team from a lower division, they can't underestimate them in the slightest if they want to win this title.

Yes, defeat is very normal. However, what is widely discussed and makes it seem like Leverkusen is very disappointing is because they are disappointed with Leverkusen who failed to become UEFA Europa League champions from Atalanta, even though they are the favorite team.

Apart from that, the fans also seemed shocked by Leverkusen's performance in the final, it was very poor and the effort to compete and attack was very small. Even though they have a lot of ball possession, they can't avoid defeat, because they are not attacking and effective enough in executing the ball towards the goal.

And now, we are still waiting for Leverkusen's last match to determine whether the final defeat was the only one or not. And I thought, that would be the one. For, in the DFB Pokal, the chance to win is very high if they are really able to optimize every chance and attack effectively.

[Texac]

Absolutely true and that is an achievement that is rarely achieved by other coaches on their first debut with their new club. Xabi Alonso has gone so far from most coaches and who would have thought that he would achieve such impressive results at a mediocre club that doesn't even have star players. It could be said that this kind of success only comes once in a lifetime and Xabi Alonso has found the right formula for Leverkusen's revival.

Defeat is as normal as winning in football and this defeat will definitely make Leverkusen more mature and can make them strengthen what they already have.

Although many are trying to judge Xabi Alonso after losing the Europa League final to Atalanta, we should understand that nothing lasts forever, so any club can get defeated by any opponent. Although Bayer Leverkusen has beaten top clubs that are stronger than Atalanta this season, like Bayern Munich and others, they played 51 games unbeaten in all competitions. So I don't think we should be surprised that they got defeated by Atalanta who lost their many games this season. This team has come far from the start of the season, and it looks very difficult for any team in the world to maintain their winning ways throughout the seasons. Xabi has broken Benfica's 48 games unbeaten, I believe that it will be rare for Bayern Munich to achieve this in the Bundesliga league.

However, I believe that Leverkusen will not make this mistake again because this is their last game of the season and the second trophy. Bayer Leverkusen will face no challenges playing against Kaiserslautern because they performance isn't good in their league, they are currently at the 13 positions, and I'm not sure how they qualified for the DFB Pokal Final.

I actually think that Leverkusen might have actually felt a little too much invincible. They had to get humbled. And in the Europa League final they got humbled. They had achieved a lot in this season. If they were actually able to win both the finals that were left, the Europa League final and the DFB pokal this could have been the perfect season. But that did not happen. I thought they would probably be able to finish the season without a single loss in all competitions. But they ended up losing a crucial match. But anyway I think what they have achieved so far is really good and not every club can say that they have achieved similar kinds of things. Taking the trophy away from a club that has been the champions for 11 years is definitely not an easy job. They have done that. The Europa League might not have ended as we expected but I think the DFB pokal is actually going to finish in favor of Leverkusen.

I think also Leverkusen felt too confident and that is why they lost Europa League final. They had great season but they needed to remember that no team is perfect. Winning both Europa League and DFB Pokal would have been amazing but losing the Europa League final shows that anything can happen. Leverkusen did something great by beating team that had won 11 times in a row. One loss shouldn't hide how well they have done. I think they will try harder and maybe win the DFB Pokal which would still make this a great season.

Sometimes self-confidence is also an important factor in performing optimally because they are in good mental condition because they always win matches and have not been defeated, but it seems like their self-confidence is too high so they brag and feel they will be able to beat Atalanta easily even though no matter how confident they are should not underestimate their opponents and keep trying to perform as best as possible so that they can win this prestigious title, but it's useless because the Europa League match is over and Leverkusen have to accept their defeat for the first time in a very important match as well as an important lesson for Leverkusen not to demeaning his co-stars even though they've had a great season.

Hopefully in the DFB Pokal Leverkusen can win the title, their opponent is not a big club, Leverkusen should be able to conquer it, but they still shouldn't underestimate their opponent because surprises can still happen like the previous match, but what is clear is that Leverkusen will be more alert and will not be careless like their match in the Europa League previously, even though he failed to win the Treble Winners, at least Xabi Alonso had to optimize to win the Double Winners.
