It was impressive work by Leverkusen that they won despite getting a red card. It really doesn't look like we will see a worse Leverkusen this season. Xabi Alonso will fight for a back-to-back Bundesliga title as it seems.

But at least this time I expect a title challenge between them and Bayern Munich. Maybe even Dortmund as well who knows...

It is up to how good Nuri Şahin will do in his first year.

The German Super Cup winner is a good start for the mentality of Leverkusen's players. Even though it was through penalties, Stuttgart is a good team. Stuttgart is almost the same as Leverkusen. Stuttgart is also a team that is able to make new history. There will be many matches waiting in the next season. Leverkusen will be very busy so they need to prepare the team better. If not, I feel, Munich is ready to return to win next season. Munich's transfer policy has taken on a new color, although I have doubts about Kompany.

For Leverkusen, they did not bring in many star players. As for Dortmund, they also have several transfers of young players. It seems quite promising, but it looks like Dortmund still has the same pattern. They buy young players to prepare as new star players who are ready to be sold.

i wonder why the likes of Real Madrid won't go after him when he decides to leave Leverkusen. Well, I'm among those who thinks Bayern Munich might still have a tough time in winning the league this season, I'm not underestimating them, they're one of the top contending team in Bundesliga but Leverkusen looks like a team with a more better chance.

Trust me , Real Madrid will coming for get Xabi Alonso at some stage for the coach position when its time for.
Also there are for sure some more teams that want to get the title and win the league , Dortmund , Stuttgart , Leipzig and maybe we see some surprise team.
Bayern Munich always is in the position for getting one of the favorite but things have changed and for the viewers that is a great thing.

I agree about this Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso connection are going to be work, but this will be happened after end of the Carlos Ancelotti era which is going to end after end of the season 2026 most chances until then we will be having Xabi Alonso here at the Bayer Leverkusen.

No one having any doubt about Bayern Munich as they are one of the best side in Bundesliga they were having some troubling time, but now things are getting better hopefully we will have them in good shape even chances for win of title are not good but still we can expect them at their best for me, we will have good chances for title race Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig with Bayern Munich is always in this list without any problem.

Congratulations to Alonso for his first trophy this season, to be honest I expected them to win in regulation time, but it was the red card in the first half that changed this game. I didn't watch the match, but I see that there were a lot of fouls and a lot of yellow cards, which means that the match was important for the teams. And Stuttgart needed just a few minutes to win this match, and the penalty shootout is a game of luck, and Bayer was luckier here. In any case, this is a good start for Bayer.

Xabi Alonso managed to win his first trophy this season and his third trophy since taking charge of Leverkusen, previously he had won the Bundesliga and DFB Fokal trophies. Leverkusen had to struggle to win the German Super Cup trophy Due to fierce resistance from Stuttgart, Leverkusen had to play with 10 since the 37th minute. An additional goal from Patrik Schick in the 88th minute made Stuttgart almost-won victory disappear just like that.
The spirit of the Leverkusen players was extraordinary, they refused to give up even though they were 2-1 behind and outnumbered. Leverkusen once again showed their toughness in this game. If they can maintain their performance like this, maybe they will win the Bundesliga again.

Bundesliga is always the last club to start the league and also the last club to end the season, but they have started other domestic games as you mentioned DFB Cup first round, Bayern Munich deserved to win by a big score because their opponents are weak clubs.

Next week the Bundesliga starts and Bayern Munich will face Wolfsburg at home I think Bayern Munich will be the favorite to win this match if look at the odds.

Opponents who are not quite equal in strength to Bayern Munich will indeed be easier to lose because Bayern Munich is still a team that has the potential to dominate the Bundesliga and also several other competitions such as the DFB Cup. And I am also quite sure that Bayern Munich will start this season very consistently, especially after seeing their rival (Leverkusen) who has also won the DFL Super Cup which will certainly give more enthusiasm to Leverkusen and also to Alonso as the team's coach.

Of course, penalties are a matter of pure luck. Even if they are the best team in the world, they can be eliminated on penalties. Because everything depends on whether the goalkeepers are good that day. Bayer Leverkusen is lucky because despite having ten men, they managed to drag the match into extra time and win on penalties. This turned out to be a championship for them. They made a good start to the German League. With this cup, they showed everyone that they are still ambitious in the Bundesliga.

That is why I still didn’t panic when the game ended up to the penalty shootout because that is what I was praying for; if not, they will have lost this chance of a trophy.

Looks like that Leverkusen will be continue this season where they have ended the last one with scoring goals at the last Minutes and dont lose.
The goal from Patrick Schick i guess was the one that have given Leverkusen some extra motivation for the penalty shootout.
Making such an comeback with only 10 Players since they got an red card in the 37 Minute is awesome and the win is earned.

I watched the German Super Cup final between Leverkusen vs Stuttgart and overall Leverkusen was still consistent in terms of creative strategy. Xabi Alonso was able to provide a surprise in the final minutes. Because Stuttgart was able to provide fierce resistance. It was clear that these two coaches were competing with each other with their best tactics on the field. The match which was also full of yellow card and red card drama was unavoidable. The goal in the 89th minute from Leverkusen really proved that Xabi Alonso and his squad were on a different level so that when undergoing a penalty shootout the mentality of his players was burning again. This victory will be the opening road to undergoing the Bundesliga competition.

Still one more week to go for the new season in Bundesliga to start... In the meantime teams have actually started the season already. Just as I expected we saw over 3.5 goals in the Leverkusen - Stuttgart game.

It was impressive work by Leverkusen that they won despite getting a red card. It really doesn't look like we will see a worse Leverkusen this season. Xabi Alonso will fight for a back-to-back Bundesliga title as it seems.

One of the things that amazes me about Leverkusen is their champion mentality and even though they played with only 10 men, they were not afraid at all to face their opponents. Leverkusen even scored again in crucial minutes through Patrick Schick and that proved that they were no different from last season. Leverkusen's performance is still very stable even under pressure and I hope that in other European competitions it will remain the same later.

What is clear is that they not only won the German Supercup title from Stuttgart but also this is a good record when their unbeaten record in the German competition continues and there is no end of praise especially for coach Xabi Alonso who has built these monsters to always win anything. This is the third title for Xabi Alonso since coaching Leverkusen and I am sure there are still other titles that they will be aiming for this season.

The Bundesliga may be the only top European league that will start its season late, but most of the German teams are playing in a different competition, the DFB Pokal. Last night, Vincent Kompany's squad won a landslide victory against SSV Ulm with a score of 0-4 without reply.

Bundesliga is always the last club to start the league and also the last club to end the season, but they have started other domestic games as you mentioned DFB Cup first round, Bayern Munich deserved to win by a big score because their opponents are weak clubs.

Next week the Bundesliga starts and Bayern Munich will face Wolfsburg at home I think Bayern Munich will be the favorite to win this match if look at the odds.

There are fewer matches than in other European leagues, hence they frequently delay the start of the season. Bayern Munich are the odds-on favourites to win the match, therefore I don't believe Wolfsburg will be difficult to defeat; they will do anything to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. They will begin the season in strong form, as seen by their performance in the DFB Pokal, where they do well and all of their players are fit, and the new coach will not try to lose his first game of the season, so Bayern Munich will focus well and win games. Bayern Leverkusen is still in terrific form, as I see they are continuing winning other matches and win other trophys. Bayern Munich must perform well this season and try to stop Leverkusen because Xabi Alonso is a very experienced coach who, I believe, is better than Munich's coach because he has more trophies. But let's see how the season goes and who has a chance to win it again.

Everyone's expecting Leverkusen to continue with same form as the previous season, well it's understandable since they won the previous seasons's title and they just proved that they could still contend well this season by beating Stuttgart in the DFL Super Cup final, it's a very good Morale booster for them ahead of the new season and Xabi Alonso priority is to make sure that they remain in good shape to deliver good results, of course he'll be proud of the result against Stuttgart cause his boys fought till the end, they didn't give up till it got to the shootout and won it, this is another big victory for Xabi Alonso he's added another trophy to his record as manager and i wonder why the likes of Real Madrid won't go after him when he decides to leave Leverkusen. Well, I'm among those who thinks Bayern Munich might still have a tough time in winning the league this season, I'm not underestimating them, they're one of the top contending team in Bundesliga but Leverkusen looks like a team with a more better chance.

All eyes are on Leverkusen's success in winning the DFL Super Cup final. Yes, it is very natural because this is the first official match in Germany before entering the Bundesliga this season. Talking about the Bundesliga, this season the opening match will be Monchengladbach vs Leverkusen. In that match, Leverkusen is the favorite to win the match and maybe it will be the first match and also start their journey to regain the unbeaten record they achieved last season. But clearly it is not something easy and honestly I personally find it difficult to say they can do it.

Last season, right when the season was about to end, they were always able to score goals at the end of the match that kept them from losing. We can see that again in this final match, where they were also able to score goals in the final minutes even though they only played with 10 men. Leverkusen is the most anticipated team this season, everyone wants to see whether they will be able to maintain what they were able to do last season or not. Xabi Alonso must have realized the expectations of the team he is currently handling, so he should have prepared as well as possible what they need this season. He also wants to show that he can consistently maintain the game from season to season.

First, I would like to congratulate Leverkusen who managed to win this final match and become champions. This will be the beginning where they might achieve the same success as last season, or even better.
They were so calm after playing with only 10 men since the 37th minute, even though Stuttgart could control the game and keep attacking but they were able to play focused so that Stuttgart had a hard time breaking through their defense. At first I thought it might be their defeat after Stuttgart could score a goal early in the second half, but they kept trying and working hard so that they could score a goal back so that the score became 2-2 and that lasted until the end.
I saw that they had the mentality, because it is not easy to play with 10 men while the opposing team played with a full number of players. If they did not have a good mentality, I think Stuttgart would be able to beat them and maybe even score more than 2 goals.

This achievement at the start of the new season is a big boast of confidence to the boys to both in their domestic league and, the champion's league especially which I believe they will shine with the quality of coach they have in Alonso.

Bayer Leverkusen showed a fighting spirit of it's not over until it's over, they didn't allowed their one man down in number to affect their performance. The coordination was still intact that they managed to get a comeback taking the game to penalty kicks to eventually beat Stuttgart to the trophy. What a way to start the season!

This Bayern Leverkusen side is actually proving that they aren't a one season wonder, because initially, most fan and pundit alike thought that their season of wonder would ends this season, that they wouldn't be able to replicate their last season form, but by the look of things, nothing has changed in this Bayern Leverkusen team, they are still as relentless as they are known for, just look at the kind of performance they put in yesterday with a man down, it's very clear to me now that they are actually not going away any time soon, and Bayern Munich needs to be ultra good this season to be able to knock Bayern Leverkusen off that path of dominance they are headed to.
But for them to continue in the way they are right now, the hierarchy of Bayern Leverkusen must do everything in their power to retain the services of all their key players, so that the rythme of the team will not be disrupted.

Indeed, Bayer Leverkusen are now in the front burner as threat to Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga thereby pushing teams like Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig etc to the back bench in the league. And true, Beyer Leverkusen vibrancy is not going to fade anytime time in as much as they retain and maintain the same players then
also bringing in more quality players to add in building the team's form.

And as for Alonso I hope he stays and continue to enjoy his stay in the club for more seasons because he is the engine room behind all the magic. The motivation for the squad is there with him still in the club and I think many players would only want to leave by virtue of Alonso leaving . That been said, undeniably the extraordinary performance of Bayer Leverkusen last season has increased the competition in bundlesliga distorting the dominance of Bayern Munich making the league more exciting and interesting.

Honestly I never thought it would still end up in their (Bayer Leverkusen) favor after the red card, these guys knows how to keep that composure especially whenever they under pressure and the manager is really the man behind their success, they are just like a family, what can their opponent do to put Bayer Leverkusen away? They don't give up and I see them as a team that whenever they're losing 3-0 is still not over, they'd come back and draw the game or even win, so loving the team they have become since Xabi Alonso took over.
Some teams would panic and also lost the game but they fought till the end, at some point I begin to ask if Xabi Alonso and his boys can replicate what they did last season not only winning the title but winning games without stopping or minding who they're facing and if it gets to the title I think they're the target because other teams are looking forward to remove them from the picture before moving to get it, the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leipzig and the others but I know this season is going to be another one that will keep us guessing. For Bayer Leverkusen I believe they can still get another trophy this season, congratulations to them.

Honestly I thought Stuttgart would win the match. Because the performance of Stuttgart's players was mixed. And the match was somewhat dominated by Stuttgart's players. More importantly, after Leverkusen's Terrier was red-carded in the 37th minute, Leverkusen had an even tougher task to fend off Stuttgart. The first half ended 1-1, and Terrie received a red card.

Stuttgart had 66% of the ball. The team also created plenty of attacking and scoring opportunities. But in the end, it was Xabi Alonso's match tactics that Stuttgart were defeated by. Xabi Alonso understood well that Leverkusen would concede more goals if they played an attacking strategy with 10 players. So in the second half, Leverkusen played a defensive strategy and played very carefully. Leverkusen conceded the second goal in 63 minutes. But in the 88th minute Patrik's goal equalized the match. Leverkusen eventually won the penalty shootout 4-3. The Leverkusen team was lucky, and Xabi's match strategy was also very good.

That would have been the end point for Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart's players should have made use of that opportunity in that second half by getting another goal, they were outstanding against a side that played unbeaten last season and I was expecting an easy win for Bayer Leverkusen but the opposition team came prepared but they couldn't get it completely. I always wonder what's the secret behind all these coming from behind and maybe win the game by Leverkusen, I'm just so confused how they (Leverkusen) do it, I have a feeling they can continue from where they stopped last season but not where Atalanta left them.
The risk Alonso took was enough to say anything can happen because he had to pour out his cards and say anything that wants to happen is on him and it favored him. This man should be given the best coach of the season if possible for for 2 years in a row, Alonso is the best.

The game was not funny for them, but they really tried their best. Bayer Leverkusen has tried to make it to a trophy, but it was not easy, although we know with Alonso they are covered. That is why I still didn’t panic when the game ended up to the penalty shootout because that is what I was praying for; if not, they will have lost this chance of a trophy. But Grimaldo gave them this chance to penalty shootout when he got his goal in the 88th minute, and everyone thinks Bayer Leverkusen will lose the game. but know all have been history; they have gotten their trophy. I also see the spirit of the unbeaten in them, so we expect to see more performances, even if it will be more than the last season.

But it wasn't surprising that Stuttgart gave them a damn hard time. Keep in mind that Stuttgart played an amazing last season and it never seemed to be a coincidence only. I expect both teams to play another great season although it is not very likely that Leverkusen can continue the same way they finished last season. The opponents will be prepared and I doubt that Bayern Munich will struggle as hard as they struggled last season. It could be an interesting race between Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Bayern, Dortmund and Leipzig. I don't really see any other team that could pull off a surprise, but let's see.

Let me narrow down the teams a bit more and I think we will watch a match between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. I don't think the other teams have much of a chance. Leverkusen started the year with the championship but had a hard time winning it. That's why they definitely need to avoid mistakes like the one in this match in their match with Bayern.

Leverkusen did performed below expectations but then the season just started, I know we all wanted more from them, expectations are already pulled up around them but they are starting foo by slowing down our expectations maybe that could ease some pressures for them to continue in the best form the can already but in the mean time, they have a point to start with a d are unbeaten (lol). There was a time I did mentioned that there's a possibility Leverkusen can still retain the trophy this season but it won't come with them dominating the league and may also not come with another unbeaten run so let's lower expectations, I believe today has made that insight clearer than it has been before now.

We can't say Leverkusen was having a bad performance because of Leverkusen having a 2-2 result against Stuttgart. Leverkusen is still a good team and they were known for the comebacks they could usually do I think we are going to see the same good performance from this team in this season.
Other than this we can't forget that Leverkusen and the other teams are still not in a good situation because they are still going through training and this can physical training can make the teams tired and out of good form.

When Terrier received a red card in the 37th minute, Leverkusen lost all discipline in the game. However, when they fell behind later on, I thought they would come back. Schick did not mislead me and when he scored the equalizer, Leverkusen were now more united to win the match. It was a tough match against Stuttgart but in the end they managed to become champions and not lose.

I thought it was all over for Leverkusen when Terrier received a red card in the 37th minute and since then Stuttgart continued to increase the tempo of the game and were able to control the game quite well because of the superior number of players but Schick made us realize again that Leverkusen is very difficult to beat, Schick's goal in the 88th minute made Leverkusen players excited again to win this match through the penalty spot. If we talk about whether Leverkusen deserved or not to win, of course it was very fitting and we also see that Xabi Alonso seems to be successful again this season with Leverkusen because here alone we can see that their performance has improved compared to last season.
