UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

But in my personal opinion Leverkusen is different from Napoli. They even started the season with lesser-known players. Honestly, I think Xabi Alonso is a genius coach because he managed to make a mediocre team into one of the best teams in European history. I'm not sure they will be able to repeat the unbeaten record they made this season. But I believe Leverkusen still has a chance to win the Bundesliga title again next season.

I think I also see Leverkusen with same lenses. I as much as they continue to maintain the same tempo as they do with Xabi Alonso remaining their genius coach, they will definitely go far even in the next season. Maybe Leverkusen may not be able to repeat the same unbeaten streak like they did this season but they will still go far next season and I so much belive that they can still take the Bundesliga league with this current performance. Xabi Alonso is a team builder and have a fairly strong scouting skills. Something you can relate with Pep Guardiola's performance effects.

Just because Leverkusen retained their manager and also most of their players by the looks of it, doesn't mean that they are going to be able to provide the same results. Sometimes you can keep everything exactly the same and you may still end up losing, we shouldn't really be worried about it.

I believe that the best thing to do would be just letting them do whatever they want, and I am sure that in the end they will do alright. Maybe they won't win the league, or maybe they won't win anything else, but I think it should be noted that we are talking about a situation that is going to be fine. I think it's clear, and we should be quite happy about it as well. Because we would be bored if one domination ends and another starts

Bayern Leverkusen have done well last season and if they can repeat the same thing as last season in the coming season, they are already taken away the title of of the kings of Bundesliga from Bayern Munich. What is very much fascinating about all this is that, the league is becoming more competitive and every team can now see that it is possible for any of them to win the the league and not just see Bayern Munich as the forever champions that can’t be beaten to the league title. Now that Bayern Leverkusen now have the key and a better strategy to win the league title, I hope they continue to use it to their advantage. Only when the next season begins, we can identify if they are capable of repeating the same thing or not, but I have hope in them that they can.

The best thing to do is simply undergoing tactical measures for the club. They won the Bundesliga title with unbeaten records, everythinghave fallen to be at their advantage. But next season is different, we know the high level of voltage and how everything have groaned out to be. In everything, Bayer Leverkusen headcoach, Xabi Alonso is promising coach because he single-handedly selects every possible measures and accomplishments for the club, that he built. Bayer Leverkusen are extremely having smooth running and we know it's basically important for the club.

Failure to win the Europa League trophy is a mistake that is difficult for everyone involved in Leverkusen to forget. The players and Xabi Alonso were the ones most affected by this failure because the defeat to Atalanta meant that Leverkusen failed to win the Treble Winner. Xabi Alonso is still very at home at Leverkusen, he has rejected several offers that have come to him, the presence of Xabi Alonso can have a positive effect on Leverkusen in maintaining its best performance shown this season.

Leverkusen may win the Bundesliga trophy again, but Xabi Alonso will find it difficult to repeat his unbeaten record in one season. The extraordinary performance shown by Leverkusen this season makes the Europa League more exciting because people are very enthusiastic about watching the matches they play. Next season they will no longer compete in the Europa League because they already hold a ticket to the Champions League.

Yes, you are correct. Bayern Leverkusen will go far in the Bundesliga, but it will be difficult for them to win the Bundesliga next season because Bayern Munich failed to stop Leverkusen last season; they will do everything they can to stop them next season, and Dortmund were in great form in the Champions League last season and even tried to challenge Real Madrid for the title, but they failed because Madrid were superior to them. In my opinion, Dortmund or Munich are the clubs who can win the league next season; even last season, Leverkusen attempted to defeat Dortmund but failed since they did not have the potential to win, only drawing the game.

I feel that if Dortmund is not in the UCL this season, they will focus on the league and fight Bayern Leverkusen, but they were more focused on the UCL last season. Let's see how next season goes and if Leverkusen or another team wins the title. I believe Xabi Alonso will no longer be as focused on the league because they are also in the Champions League. He will do all necessary to win the trophy, and if he cannot go unbeaten like he did in the league competition, he will most likely lose points. Because even in the Europa League the last time Atalanta defeated them and won the title, and some people are thinking that Leverkusen will definitely won the Europa League since they are better then Atalanta but they fail.

[doomloop]

People are hyped about Xabi Alonso and what he's doing at Leverkusen. The guy is a technical genius who can make a group of good players play attacking football beautifully. And yes, two straight Bundesliga titles? They can reach it

But this whole "double trophy" dream isn't likely, especially with the UCL.  The Bundesliga could be their backyard, but the Champions League? It is very different. It's where Europe's monsters hang out, and if you're not ready, they'll eat you alive

Truth be told Xabi Alonso was actually what Bayern Leverkusen needed because we can see how he was able to revived the club within a short while, perhaps that is why he is being hyped but however from next season we will actually know what the faith of Bayern Leverkusen will be, though considering there performance this season I believe they stand a chance to perform well but however I have actually come to realize that most times a club will be very impressive in a certain season but the moment they enter the next season they started performing bad, that's why I believe that from there first match next season we will surely know if they are still good or not.

What happened has happened, so there isn't really anything that we can do to make it change. However, the real test starts now, because the whole world will watch it and see what will happen, I think it is quite clear that we are going to see him have trouble because of the pressure and the stress.

Imagine, even if it is not Xabi's fault, and some players get injured at the most terrible time, and he misses some players to red cards and all that , suddenly he has a much worse season, and yet people will say that his one year success was a fluke and he will never have that again. I think he is going to feel much more threatened this season, and every other team will have it out for them as well, so it is going to be a much harder season.

Because Bayer Leverkusen managed to go undefeated last season and so, if the Bayer Leverkusen team still has the same manager and squad, then it is very possible that Bayer Leverkusen will still be able to get good results next season. Unless,if last season Bayer Leverkusen only had the luck to reach the final, then it is very possible that nextseason Bayer Leverkusen will experience a decline in performance. But indeed,any result is ofcourse still possible, but I personally am still very confident that Bayer Leverkusen still has the ability and a very big chance to get good results next season. Although indeed,  having an unbeaten record is certainly difficult to repeat, but if only to get good results, I'm sure Xabi Alonso will still be able to do his best for Bayer Leverkusen next season.

I think he is going to feel much more threatened this season, and every other team will have it out for them as well, so it is going to be a much harder season.

There is no going back on what has transpired; the true test lies in what follows. The entire world will be watching how he copes with mounting pressure and stress, picture this scenario: Xabi isn't directly responsible for the issue, but imagine if a number of key players were injured at a crucial time or if multiple players received red cards. Such circumstances could exacerbate an already arduous season.

If the current season ends with worse results, many might say that the earlier success was merely a stroke of luck. But the scrutiny to prove oneself is never easy; now it will be even greater. His competitors are not going to take it lying down either, they will up their game and put more effort into beating him. Thus, this upcoming season will be a litmus test for his capabilities: whether he can sustain, or better still, outdo his triumphs. This season lies ahead with no promise of respite, rather an impending struggle to defend laurels earned earlier.

One of the biggest delusion of the new season would be expecting Leverkusen to maintain the same results they did maintained in the previous season, because they will most definitely get to face even more fight than they did faced in the last season because it's got so much attention focused on them already, the possibilities of success now lays only on them just trying to still defend the title they won even without an unbeaten streak and try to get a very decent finish in the champions league or as much as possible getting to make it to the finals of the champions league. When xabi became the head coach of Leverkusen, little to nothing was expected of him because,  he was a first time coah and starting with an average team, only a regular season was expected till a genius results was produced alongside a brilliant performance and this is why I'm still of the opinion that company should not and cannot be under estemated because the much he can do can only be seen after the end of the season, and it wouldn't be a good one to see that and having to be taught a hard lesson trying to see that, this should be the biggest consideration of Leverkusen.

Xabi has made new history with Leverkusen, where their performance last season was like a fairy tale in football, and their impressive journey will be remembered forever. The defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League final to date still leaves disappointment, which will be a reminder for anyone who will bet. However, Xabi's performance really deserves appreciation from everyone.

It must be admitted that it will be difficult for Leverkusen to repeat last season success, whereas next season Bayern will try to take over power in the Bundesliga. Apart from that, we will see Leverkusen appear in the Champions League next season, and Xabi must ensure his fleet has a better mentality than the Europa League. I think Xabi will be able to maintain Leverkusen performance.

On the other hand, the competition for trophies will clearly be fiercer next season, and the challenges Leverkusen will face will be tougher than last season. Xabi must try hard to retain his players, where squad depth was the main key to their success last season. Xabi also seems to have to recruit several quality rotation options.

If we are talking about Bundesliga, Leverkusen isn't impossible to make the undefeated record again. However, no guarantee that the same squad and the same coach will repeat the history. I assume the next season will be more competitive in Bundesliga, I'm not really sure that Leverkusen can be as strong as the previous season.

However, we must forget the history about Leverkusen in Europa league. They will be no longer in this competition for the next season, they will play in UCL. I think we can stop talking about Leverkusen now, Europa league will have different finalists in the next season. Both Leverkusen and Atalanta are qualified for UCL, let's talk about them in UCL thread.  

2024/25 Champions League: Who has qualified directly for the league phase?

[Hirose UK]

We all always discuss and talk about Leverkusen and Xabi performance to the point of forgetting several other teams who are currently trying to improve their performance to be able to compete in the 2024/25 European League season.
In the 2024/25 season, we will see many changes, the teams that previously managed to challenge and dominate the race for the European League title will not participate because they are entering the UCL competition, this will be an interesting thing.
Several teams are trying to improve their performance as best as possible and trying to surpass every other team that will be their opponent in the competition, Manchester United for example is starting to make major overhaul.
Ten Hag failed to be fired and he is in the season break with this transfer window looking really very busy with looking for several players who can be used to strengthen Manchester United, from several reports circulating Ten Hag asked for large amount of money for make all his wishes come true.
Several players have been officially offered and Manchester United has made number of attempts to buy for quite fantastic amount of money, if this is successful, perhaps Manchester United will be strong candidate for the Europa League, but who knows what will happen with the changes.

The Europa League is competitive, every participating club will handled top form because any slight atom of weakness, they will be eliminated. Bayer Leverkusen misses out their chance to win treble last season but they won the Bundesliga without loss. Bayer Leverkusen headcoach, Xabi Alonso is a promising coach, he has vision for the club and working towards accomplishment shouldn't be a problem. They will bring in more exciting results and impressive display which will come from Bayer Leverkusen.

Although indeed,  having an unbeaten record is certainly difficult to repeat, but if only to get good results, I'm sure Xabi Alonso will still be able to do his best for Bayer Leverkusen next season.

Leverkusen has been able to give us an interesting spectacle so far, Leverkusen has certainly shown us how they are able to become champions and compete with the current big team just by relying on makeshift players without the support of star players, so far Leverkusen is a mediocre team that is able to rise and surprise all of us after they are coached by Alonso,  Leverkusen's journey in the Europa League is certainly not as beautiful as their journey in winning the Bundesliga this season without defeat, next season Leverkusen will of course play in the Champions League and it will certainly be very interesting how they can maintain their form next season.

Next season will be a difficult challenge for Alonso in maintaining their performance, because after all the rival teams will strengthen their squad very well, so indeed Leverkusen is also required to do the same by bringing in some new players to be able to compete next season, I personally doubt a little if Leverkusen can repeat their glory next season because indeed tighter competition will occur both in the Champions League as well as domestic leagues.

In the Bundesliga next season Bayer Leverkusen will still be the favorite team to win the title again even though it will be difficult to repeat the unbeaten record like last season. However, the only thing that many people will see more for the Leverkusen team next season is when Leverkusen competes in the Champions League. Because it is a much more prestigious league, it will make any achievements achieved by Leverkusen remembered by many people, even though in this competition it is always not easy for all teams to compete.

I believe Leverkusen still has the potential to become Bundesliga champions next season. I put Leverkusen as the first favorite and Munich as the second favorite to win the Bundesliga. But I'm not sure they will be able to win the UCL next season. This season Leverkusen has really impressed in the UEL. They managed to reach the final but unfortunately they lost to Atalanta. Hats off to Alonso who has succeeded in turning a mediocre team like Leverkusen into a very solid squad. Alonso will always be remembered as the coach who came closest to achieving the invincible treble, a prestigious achievement that as far as I know has never been achieved by any coach in Europe, or even in the world.

I'm not doubting Leverkusen, they have been among the fast growing teams with those credible potentials but I can't define their dominance in the Champions League,  compared to their own leagues especially the Bundeslisga. Bayern Leverkusen can still retain their title but still we can't put them at the top and forget about a team like Bayern Munich who has been leading and the most favourite in the German league. If Leverkusen wants to go far, then they should put more effort, they can't put up the kind of play they did against Atalanta and expect a promising results, teams are getting stronger and the Champions League is not a play ground for under performance.

[Lidger]

Just because Leverkusen retained their manager and also most of their players by the looks of it, doesn't mean that they are going to be able to provide the same results. Sometimes you can keep everything exactly the same and you may still end up losing, we shouldn't really be worried about it.

I believe that the best thing to do would be just letting them do whatever they want, and I am sure that in the end they will do alright. Maybe they won't win the league, or maybe they won't win anything else, but I think it should be noted that we are talking about a situation that is going to be fine. I think it's clear, and we should be quite happy about it as well. Because we would be bored if one domination ends and another starts

Bayern Leverkusen's impressive performances last season saw them win the Bundesliga title and stay above defending champions Bayern Munich. But maintaining this same consistency next season will certainly be a difficult task for Bayern Leverkusen. It seems to me that Bayern Munich and other teams did not plan against Bayern Leverkusen last season which is why they won the league title so easily. But next season will surely see this team as a tough opponent and accordingly try to give importance to this team and then try to perform like that. The next season will probably be a tough competition again between Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen.

[Oneandpure]

I believe Leverkusen still has the potential to become Bundesliga champions next season. I put Leverkusen as the first favorite and Munich as the second favorite to win the Bundesliga. But I'm not sure they will be able to win the UCL next season. This season Leverkusen has really impressed in the UEL. They managed to reach the final but unfortunately they lost to Atalanta. Hats off to Alonso who has succeeded in turning a mediocre team like Leverkusen into a very solid squad. Alonso will always be remembered as the coach who came closest to achieving the invincible treble, a prestigious achievement that as far as I know has never been achieved by any coach in Europe, or even in the world.

I think so, Bayern Leverkusen have defend almost 100% current composition players and not drastically change with Xabi Alonso tactician because many key players in this season keep staying.
Have consistency performance in this season become most higher unbeaten record until 54 matches all competition I think Bayern Leverkusen will make the same thing their appearance in Champion League next season.

But who will be the next candidate teams in Europe League following impressive performance of Bayern Leverkusen next season? the finalist Europe League teams in this season will participants in Champion League and which one team bigger potential break Bayern Leverkusen unbeaten record in Europe league until reach final round?
