The fact that Bayern Leverkusen were undefeated until the final of the competition shows that they are very strong. However, a team that competes for a full season and is still beaten till the final is not a weak team, and that doesn’t mean they won’t perform as we are saying in the champions league.
I believe they can do it even in the champions league competition, even if they will perform the same as they are doing in the Bundesliga, because I know the Champions League has many more strong teams than the Bundesliga that Leverkusen have already used to, so the thing here is that Leverkusen will not be beaten in the champions league, but with their current status of performance, I believe even if they don't top the table, they will nearly make it to the top.
In my opinion, despite Leverkusen having had a very good campaign that went down in the history of the club and the coach, Leverkusen still doesn't have much experience in the European Champions League in terms of consistently getting very far, so I think that the leverkusen will not perform well in the European champions league, they did well in the bundesliga and in the european league they won the games with some difficulties in some games, and when we compare the european league with the european champions league, we easily see how the european league European champions are much higher and in the group stage Leverkusen will face strong teams that have good performances in their local leagues. and Leverkusen's coach has no experience as a coach in the European Champions League, I highly doubt that Leverkusen will go far in the European Champions League, even getting through the group stage will be difficult for them
European Champions League is something that has often happened to be seen in a final in which the teams involved are one at the top of the local league and the other in positions below 3 in the local league, we saw this in the Champions League final involving Manchester city against inter, manchester city was at the top of the premier league while inter was more than 16 points behind leaders napoli in series A. also when chelsea became champions of the champions league, they were bottom of the premier league, but they beat manchester city in the final even though manchester city was at the top of the premier league. These scenarios have become normal in the European Champions League
