But with this performance today, wining at the end of the game, I think they don’t have the squad depth to repeat it and they fail to sign new players thinking they have enough squad to win another Bundesliga forgetting that they have Champions League and other competitions to play.
Bayer Leverkusen need to win games in a more convincing manner this season, they do not need to continue to depend on last minute goals and the luck they have with scoring late goals because it will not always work and may fail them in a very important game. They won the game but to me it is not a good result because having a two goal advantage and then losing it almost to the extent of dropping the whole point completely, it is not a good start they were just lucky today, they will not be lucky another day and their luck may not be enough for them to defend their title this season if they do not improve.

The match has just started and only 15 minutes have been played in this match. Leverkusen has already been able to score in this match. And the way they are playing I think Leverkusen is going to win this match. I know it is probably a little too early to say that. But I am confident that the defending champions are going to get three points from this one. The first goal has been scored by Xhaka on the 12th minute. Interested to see if Boniface will be able to score in this match or not. He was in really good form in the last season. I hope he will be able to continue from where he left off in the last season.
Bayern Leverkusen may not be able to replicate their last season's record but what I saw in their match tonight shows they are a promising club with the potential of winning the league again this season. One thing too is that their luck of scoring late goals still follow them to this season because they almost drew the match from their 2 goals lead from first half if not of the Florian Wirtz who scored after missing the penalty kick at 90 minutes +11. This is pure luck else that match was a pure draw.
It is too early to judge their performance since we are just starting a fresh season, we don’t expect even the underrated teams to be so lose to be defeated easily by the big teams.You are right for saying that it will be a bit hard for Alonso and his players to replicate their same performance of last season again this season; I don’t think they can do it because their pattern of playing has been monitored since towards the ending of last season, which is why they usually win or draw their matches towards the end of the game, but it’s normal that’s why we kept mute. But with this performance today, wining at the end of the game, I think they don’t have the squad depth to repeat it and they fail to sign new players thinking they have enough squad to win another Bundesliga forgetting that they have Champions League and other competitions to play.
I doubt Bayer Leverkusen could do the same record as the previous season. Even though they have most players in and the same coach but the other teams, mainly Bayern Munich, will not let them pass them the way they did in the previous season.
Xabi Alonso will try to prove himself again as a top coach and the first game will be against M'Gladbach which is lagging much and could not be understood.
I expect Bayer Leverkusen to win in few hours.
Leverkusen will still be the center of attention for this season because apart from their status as defending champions, Leverkusen also has a good record and record for them to maintain last season even though their unbeaten record was stopped by Atalanta but it cannot be denied that the Bundesliga record without losing for one season still needs our attention. It is difficult to believe now that the record will be created again but on the other hand we must be aware that this might still happen if Xabi remains consistent with his performance.
It turns out again that Leverkusen, like last season, like to score after the 90th minute if they draw or are behind and my bet that I placed in injury time has paid off thanks to this behaviour. I bet on Leverkusen's next goal!
I'm pleased that nothing seems to have changed in this situation, because I will continue to bet on Leverkusen in this situation

Winning a game in the 11th minute of added time is not just "after the 90th minute" it is something more outrageous, especially considering that it happens to them regularly.
I support Bayer and want them to become champions again, but to be honest, such results are starting to make me depressed - probably someone has already become a millionaire betting on Bayer after the 90th minute, and I am just watching
I think there is something behind the performance of Bayer Leverkusen that people are yet to understand, like how's the team able to come up with such momentum to always keep pushing to make sure they get the winning goal after 90 minutes plus? We saw them become champions last season with this winning after the 90 minutes strategies but no one believed that they will start the new season with this same energy because what I witnessed today still shows that Xabi Alonso and his boys aren't going to joke with the league this season because they look more ready than last season.
Some bettors would off course take the winning advantages of Bayer Leverkusen to win really big but today I took a big risk by placing a bet with the option of GG+2 in the Leverkusen game and I was lucky to see F. Wirtz scoring the last goal to keep my 4.25 single bet green.
How do you see Leverkusen this season? Do you think they can become champions without losing a single game again? In the Bundesliga I mean.
They actually had a huge unbeaten streak which must be over 50 games.
But it finished by Atalanta in the Europa League. Otherwise they could have carried the streak to even this season. Xabi Alonso has gathered all the attention on himself as a result. Personally I believe this season won't be the same. It is just too difficult to maintain such form for two-season long. 
Plus, I would really like to see a title competition in the league this time.

Today last season's champions will start their Bundesliga campaign and I am sure it will be an easy first win for Xabi Alonso men. On paper Leverkusen chances are quite high and with their consistency, Bayern Munich should be a worthy competitor. It seems that the current Bundesliga season the situation will not change much considering that Bayern Munich with a new coach has not performed optimally even though in the pre-season they were able to win the match but because the opponents they faced were not evenly matched. Kompany in his first season was immediately faced with great demands from the Bayern Munich top brass and so far I don't think there has been a Bayern Munich coach who has been easy to get their soft attention.

Plus, I would really like to see a title competition in the league this time.Bayer Leverkusen has started trying their best to see if they can still have an unbeaten season again, but it seems like they will definitely have many challenges because having that record again will be very hard because there are a lot of changes in many teams, and they will feel it differently from last year. Although you also mentioned that Atalanta were the ones that broke that record of unbeaten same as this season, they will be a team that must challenge them just to see that they were not able to get that record again this season. Even though I know Xavi Alonso will try his best to see if that can still happen this season, it will hardly happen.
Another unbeaten streak by Bayern Leverkusen will be very hard this season because all the teams in the Bundesliga will be super ready for them and won’t allow the repetition of what happened last season to happen again. Bayern Leverkusen still has the chance to become champions of this season if they perform like they did last season or even put more effort than what they did last season. Bayern Munich is also a worthy contender and I don’t think they’re going to allow Bayern Leverkusen to win the trophy for the second term in succession. Bayern Munich will only have a chance to compete for the league title if the coach is very up and doing to make things work out for the team. Since he’s a new coach, we can’t tell much, but will see what he can do for the club to make them excel.
It seems that it is very difficult to maintain by Leverkusen because this season many other teams have increased their strength in the transfer market. I think with their fairly perfect pace last season it will be a strong enough spirit for Leverkusen players this season but recording consecutive wins might be quite impossible. But today Xabi Alonso was able to bring the first victory for Leverkusen where they were able to steal full points at Monchengladbach's home. With very satisfying results in the early match, of course it is a good achievement because they remain consistent in being able to achieve their target this season. Well, if you look at Bayern Munich, of course they are still the favorite team this season because they will try hard to be able to compete with Leverkusen in every match.
It turns out again that Leverkusen, like last season, like to score after the 90th minute if they draw or are behind and my bet that I placed in injury time has paid off thanks to this behaviour. I bet on Leverkusen's next goal!

Leverkusen hardly give up, and that spirit of winning, even at injury time, always helps them. In today's match, I had already given up, thinking they had drawn. In fact, I even stopped watching the match because I believed it was going to end in a draw. But surprisingly, when I checked my phone to look at my ticket, thinking that only Leverkusen had spoiled it since I picked them for a straight win, I was shocked to see that they had won the match. That was really crazy! It’s a new season, and Leverkusen is out there again to prove themselves. With what I saw tonight, I believe they still aim to achieve the Bundesliga title. Let's see how the other top strong teams match up.

Another interesting match. Many people were actually saying that Bayer Leverkusen would beat this Borussia Monchengladbach but the club stood their ground and did exceptionally well. They matched some stats that Bayer Leverkusen also produced and for me the positives from the match was that Borussia Monchengladbach if they can can continue like this then they will be better than last season.
As for Bayer Leverkusen they have already started the season with late minute wins, just like the scrapped this win I think they will find others too very hard. This season they wouldn’t get lucky to scrap out win like last season because some clubs would be more cautious during the last minute of the matches when they are winning against them. They can do that undefeated again this season

The good thing about the Bayer Leverkusen team is that they were able to retain most of the major players they had last season. This singular act would make the team retain its form. They have started showing that they will be one of the major Bundesliga title contenders by defeating VfB Stuttgart in the Supercup. Sadly they will be playing without one of their main strikers Victor Boniface after he was sanctioned for his misbehaviour after they won the game against Stuttgart. But they have a good replacement that will still cause havoc to any defence.
Borussia Mönchengladbach had a bad 2023/24 season which made them struggle to avoid relegation. In other to boost the performance of the club coach Gerardo Seoane Castro has signed players such as Tim Kleindienst, Kevin Stöger and Philipp Sander. Gladbach won their last game when they defeated Erzgebirge Aue in the DFB Cup first round by three goals to one. But the game against Bayer Leverkusen will be a true test for Die Fohlen.
That is not just the great thing, but also a very very shocking thing as well. Like I was 100% certain that some team would snatch Wirtz right away for example, they have so many great players that could fit so well with many rich teams and yet none of them really got transferred.Borussia Mönchengladbach had a bad 2023/24 season which made them struggle to avoid relegation.

It's of course amazing for them but at the same time it's a huge risk as well, like let's take Wirtz for example, they could easily sell him for 100 million right now, but not selling him means that they will either use him for one more year and sell him for maybe even 100+ million, or at least make a lot of money while he is there, like win the league again and do well at UCL etc etc, and then if they still sell for same price, they still made more thanks to him staying one more year. OR the big risk is that he would get injured, or play badly and so forth which would result with them not having the good result and Wirtz being valued a lot less, that's the risk they are taking.

The match between Leverkusen and Monchengladbach turned out to be interesting one. Leverkusen scored on 12th and 38th minute but M'gladbach was dominant on the first half. Tim Kleindienst did scored a goal at 42nd minute but it was overturned as foul by VAR. M'gladbach did returned goals in 2nd half in 59th and 85th minute to make it a score of 2-2 but Florian Writz scored again for Leverkusen at Last minute of added injury time to secure 3 points for the team.
Leverkusen still has a good player and from my point of view I still think that Leverkusen will be a problem for Bayern Munich this season, Munich has good players than Leverkusen but the winning mentality is with Leverkusen, they play their first game of the season and they are about to lose the game and before the end of the game they score a goal to make sure they end up playing a penalty kick, Leverkusen is going to be another problem for Bayern Munich this season and stop Bayern Munich for winning the tittle league again.
Xavi Alonso is going to do everything to make sure that the team performs well again, I didn't say that Bayern Munich will not win the league title this season but Leverkusen is going to be a problem for Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich needs to know how to handle Leverkusen this season or else they will end up without nothing this season like the way they did last season.

Yeah Leverkusen still use the same squad this season so they should still be able to compete with Bayern Munich and Dortmund but in the first match today they almost made a mistake when Leverkusen had already won by 2 goals in the first half but in the second half they conceded 2 goals so the score was 2-2 until the 90th minute, fortunately Florian Wirtz was able to score the 3rd goal for Leverkusen in the last seconds so Leverkusen can lock 3 points.
But today's match was indeed quite fierce we can see it based on the statistics of both teams, Monchengladbach had 14 shots and 7 of them were on target while Leverkusen had 25 shots and 10 on target this indicates that both teams are playing aggressively so it is not surprising that the total scored 5 goals. By the way a good start for Leverkusen and they have to continue it.
How do you see Leverkusen this season? Do you think they can become champions without losing a single game again? In the Bundesliga I mean.

I personally think it is going to be very hard for them to keep a lossless streak. Because in the last season I think even though they were playing well, they actually got the benefit of being taken not very seriously by a lot of teams. And I think we all know that no team is going to make that mistake again. Every team is going to be very ready when playing against Leverkusen. And of course, Bayern Munich is going to be extra careful against Leverkusen. And this time Leverkusen is going to get the respect that they deserve because they are the defending champions of the Bundesliga. I am not going to be surprised if Leverkusen actually loses in the first seven or eight matches, to be honest.
Borussia Moenchengladbach vs Bayer Leverkusen
Borussia Mönchengladbach (4-2-3-1): Omlin; Scally, Itakura, Chiarodia, Netz; Reitz, Weigl; Honorat, Stöger, Pléa; Kleindienst
Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-2-1): Hrádecký; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapié; Frimpong, Xhaka, Andrich, Grimaldo; Wirtz, Adli; Boniface.
Here we go for the first match of bundesliga starting with the current bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen face Moenchengladbach at Borussia-Park, Bayer Leverkusen are far better than Mönchengladbach which they haven't lost to them in their 8 meetings secured 6 wins and 2 draw, I don't expect anything from Bayer Leverkusen except winning alone because they have done it before and still have the capacity to repeat it again against Mönchengladbach. Let see how the match will end.

And the way they are playing I think Leverkusen is going to win this match. I know it is probably a little too early to say that. But I am confident that the defending champions are going to get three points from this one. The first goal has been scored by Xhaka on the 12th minute. Interested to see if Boniface will be able to score in this match or not. He was in really good form in the last season. I hope he will be able to continue from where he left off in the last season.
The defending champions have started the season in a grand style and I am sure that this will be another 3 point victory for them as they are dominating the match and winning possession. It was a marvelous goal by Xhaka on the 12 minutes to give his team the lead.
Of course, i'm almost always on the right side. Guirassy was indeed the difference for VfB Stuttgart last season, unfortunately he preferred to go to Borussia Dortmund to improve his career record. But you don't need to doubt them, they still have Deniz Undav (second top scorer at the club last season), make 18 goals from 30 appearances in the league.
I hope to see a better performance from Stuttgart this season as well. The performance of this team in the last season surprised everyone. Because we are used to seeing this team in a close position. But this team occupied the second place in the table in the previous season. Even the Stuttgart team was above Bayern Munich in the points table. And the Stuttgart players were in great form throughout the season.
Serhou Guirassy was the best player we saw for Stuttgart last season. He scored 28 goals and 2 assists in 28 matches. This season, the Stuttgart coach is not getting this wonderful player in his squad. Even so, the Stuttgart team cannot be called weak. Still this group is strong enough.
This season, the Stuttgart coach added Demirovic and Undav to Stuttgart's attack to strengthen the team. I am hopeful that the Stuttgart players will not make any mistakes in the first match against Freiburg. Freiburg is not a weak opponent but Stuttgart will win this match.

Sebastian Hoeneß is a top manager, and his work with Stuttgart so far has been spectacular. Last season he took the team to insane heights, and everyone was amazed at their performances. I think this season they will be under more pressure, but I think the lads got all that it takes to show for it.
The team got a lot of new players, some coming from loan and some permanent transfers. If they play their cards right, they know what to do. The first game against Freiburg should not be that difficult for a team like Stuttgart, but definitely, a season opener is always a bit nerve wrecking.
They have talents like Silas, Fuhrich, Mittelstadt. They lost Guirassy, but I do believe that they have a plan to sort things out, even without their star striker

How do you see Leverkusen this season? Do you think they can become champions without losing a single game again? In the Bundesliga I mean.They actually had a huge unbeaten streak which must be over 50 games.
But it finished by Atalanta in the Europa League. Otherwise they could have carried the streak to even this season. Xabi Alonso has gathered all the attention on himself as a result. Personally I believe this season won't be the same. It is just too difficult to maintain such form for two-season long. Plus, I would really like to see a title competition in the league this time.I don’t think Bayer Leverkusen is going to set the same record as last season again. They may be the champions, though, because they still use the same players and coach, so all of them already know the method and how all the teams play, so it will be easy for them to get higher this season again. But that, of unbeaten throughout the season, is what I don’t think will repeat itself.
Bayern Munich are not going to be a big challenge for Leverkusen this season. Bayer Leverkusen are going to fight for the title again. Bayern Munich has a new manager. He will start with a new method that the players will still use before their performances go as they wish, so while in that process, Bayern Leverkusen will be leading already, and we know how strong Leverkusen is.
