It is undeniable that Frankfurt this season has performed very differently than last season, we can see that they are currently perched in the runner-up position under Bayern Munich. They are also productive in scoring goals, I have even said it on several occasions regarding Frankfurt's performance. However, overtaking the position occupied by Bayern Munich is not easy, especially since Vincent Kompany's squad has not been defeated in 13 matches in the Bundesliga. I think Frankfurt is not at Bayern Munich's level, they also lose in terms of team depth. Even the position occupied by Frankfurt is not safe, because the team below Frankfurt's current ranking is only a few points apart. Which means, to maintain its position Frankfurt must work hard to win match after match. If not, Leverkusen is ready to overtake them, as well as Leipzig who are 3 points behind. On the other hand, Bayern Munich has a high probability of winning the Bundesliga trophy again. However, its current position is not safe because the teams below it have the potential to approach if Bayern slips in several of its matches. anyway, all teams in the top four will certainly maximize their match readiness to achieve victory. thus, the losing team must be ready to be shifted in the standings.

I think there's nothing wrong in aiming higher, they already have a bundesliga title and now they are anticipating the champions League which I think is good for them. It has been a very long time since they got to this point, at least there is nothing wrong in having huge aspirations. Perhaps they want to prove a point in European football after becoming runners up in the Europa League, they also want to try their luck in the champions league which would be a great improvement for the German side who were one of best teams in Europe last season.

This is true, we cannot compare the past and today.  Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are different mentally, the condition of the players, and the strength have all changed. Even though Leverkusen was able to defend with last season's players, of course Munich this season is different because it has added several great players. So far Leverkusen has a fairly large point difference, but this condition has not closed the opportunity to win this season. This is because there are still many other matches. All matches will be difficult to predict.

I can conclude that Leverkusen are only focused on the UCL, and that is not entirely good, they do it because that is a very Madridista way of thinking, I know that in the UCL the level is higher, they have already won the Bundesliga, they have to go for the UCL, but they still have a long way to go, I see Bayern at a very high level and it is difficult for them to dethrone them, however, everything is possible in this life and more so in football, I would like Xabi to react and concentrate on the Bundesliga as well, to make history as it should be.

With the way Leverkusen started last season and the way they finished last season, we all expected this team to do well in the German league this season but they have not shown that performance this season. With the way Leverkusen have performed this season, it doesn't seem to me at least that this team can win the championship this season. In this league I see the highest potential for Bayern Munich and if they can carry on their usual performances until the end of the season they will celebrate the local league title. However, for Bayern Munich there are some teams that can create obstacles in the way of Bayern Munich to become champions, against these teams Bayan Munich must do well.

They realized that fact last season already, haha. They knew they had a magic run on their hands and replicating something like that is as good as impossible. Not only because it's tough to stay on the same level but also because you basically woke up a sleeping giant. Bayern won 11 seasons in a row and the previous one was nothing more than a slip-up. Every time in the past they showed some kind of weakness in 1 season they always came back even stronger.
So yeah, that's why Leverkusen, even if they took their strong performance from last season into the next one, would have to deal with a different Bayern Munich than what we have seen last year.

Bringing Leverkusen in the semi finals is a huge task, it's funny you even mention that. I doubt it's possible but of course there are always surprises. Nobody would have thought Dortmund could reach the final last year, especially after the first games in the group stage where they were 1 game away from elimination.

Leverkusen must realize that defending the title is not easy, currently they are far behind Bayern Munich at the top of the standings with 7 points. Leverkusen this season did not make any player purchases and Xavi Alanso still believes in the old squad. It must also be admitted that Leverkusen this season started the season badly so that they lost points several times, of course this is all because their defense line is not as strong as last season. This is very different from Bayern Munich under Kompany who seems to have a new spirit and even until now Bayern Munich has not been defeated in the Bundesliga.

So I think Leverkusen will not be able to catch up with Bayern Munich's points, because this season Bayern Munich is very difficult to stop. Moreover, Xabi Alanso will leave Leverkusen at the end of the season, of course the management will not bring in new players in the transfer market later. Their target is only to be in second place in the Bundesliga and of course Xabi has a bigger mission in the UCL league, if he succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to the semifinals, of course this will have an impact on his career in the future. especially yesterday they managed to beat Inter Milan very impressively.

Bayern Munich is a very strong team, but there are more stronger teams, so we should not underestimate them because they are strong for teams that cannot compete with them. Bayern Munich have earned these points due to their hard work and good performance and will continue to earn in the next matches if those matches are easy. I don't think they are capable enough to beat the likes of Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in a match.   Frankfurt is adept at defeating teams of its ilk and will only manage defeats against the likes of Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. They will need a lot of effort to defeat them.

There is a seven point difference between them and Bayern Munich in the German League. When you look at it this way, their chances of becoming champions are really low. There is almost no chance for Bayern Munich to lose points this year. They tied with Borussia Dortmund and the match they played, but they won most of the matches. They were also the effective side in the Dortmund match. Bayer Leverkusen will not be champions this year, to be honest, but they are in a good race to finish the league in second place. Frankfurt is one of the teams that is challenging them right now. I think their chances of being second at the end of the league are very high.

I agree with you, we cannot be sure that Frankfurt can compete with Bayern Munich this season based on their current performance, in my opinion. Frankfurt has recently lost their form and isn't giving their opponents as much trouble as they did at the beginning of the season, in the previous match against Augsburg, they struggled to get a draw, despite the opponent's 13th place in the league. However,  after their achievements from the previous season, Bayer Leverkusen are performing well, but they are still seven points behind Bayern Munich, which will be very difficult for Xabi Alonso's team to reduce before the season ends.

Furthermore, Frankfurt's next opponent is Leipzig, and I am confident that it will be a difficult game for Frankfurt to win. Despite Leipzig's inconsistent performance this season, I doubt they will lose at home against Frankfurt, whereas Leverkusen will play Augsburg, and if Leverkusen wins, it will have an opportunity to overtake Frankfurt for second place. But has anyone observed Wolfsburg's incredible performance this season? They are presently sitting 5th in the Bundesliga table.

Bayer Leverkusen performed very well last year. They did not start the year well but they are in a better position now. Of course, they may want to transfer new players during the mid-season. The important thing is not to send away their strong players from the squad during the mid-season transfer period. They can reach a much better level with the transfers they can make by keeping this squad. If Bayern Munich makes mistakes in the rest of the league, they still have a chance to win the championship.

6 points is not an easy distance to catch up, but it is not impossible to do as long as they can continue to get full points and they need Bayern Munich to stumble a little. They will still meet and in their meeting Frankfurt should be able to take advantage of that to beat Bayern Munich. However, this is clearly not easy to do, because beating a team like Bayern Munich must have a hard work and sometimes also requires a little luck to do that. With Leverkusen's success last season, that could be a motivation for them.

Catching up on the six points already owned by Bayern Munich is not easy for Frankfurt if Bayern Munich is still strong enough to dominate the Bundesliga this season. Moreover, if Frankfurt itself does not have the power to surpass the strength of Bayern Munich so that it will also be a very real obstacle for Frankfurt and even Frankfurt's position itself is still likely to be taken by Leverkusen if Frankfurt's consistency does not continue to increase in the upcoming matches.

Most of Leverkusen's players still maintain the same players as last season, even Leverkusen has added some new faces to their squad this season so it can't be said that Leverkusen's players this season are ordinary, it is indeed difficult to maintain the same performance as last season and Xabi Alonso has tried his best so that his club continues to achieve good results but it seems that Leverkusen cannot defend the title this season but at least Leverkusen must try to finish in the top 3.

Frankfurt will be part of the challengers and maybe they cannot be underestimated because like the previous season where Leverkusen was able to provide a very extraordinary surprise for Bayern Munich. Although if you look at Frankfurt it is different from the results obtained by Leverkusen in the previous season and also talking about consistency in the match. If Bayern Munich does not create a slightly greater distance then it is not impossible that Frankfurt will try to catch up on the points and that can still be done when they play more consistently.

It is also possible to recommend that Leverkusen should carry on systemic integration with actions that infuse new energy into a team. It may take in players with special ability, especially in defensive side can be one of the ways to balance the field. However adding your own and helping the existing players grow through accurate training techniques and concrete tactical back up you can enhance the creation. And with the cooperation of both, Leverkusen can go higher and stronger more consistently in the league.

There is no reason why they would not be able to continue how they did so far. Bayer Leverkusen is similar to Dortmund, they will be dependent on finding the raw diamonds, turn them into stars and then sell them for a lot of money. There is no point in talking about Leverkusen or Dortmund signing players like Mbappe or Salah. It is not possible. But what these clubs have done in recruiting players who are not even in their 20s, that's of course remarkable. It's never nice to see these players leave rather sooner than later, but it is better to find a Bellingham or a Wirtz and then sell them for a lot of money instead of taking financial risks that these clubs just can't afford.

If they can add more quality players to their squad it will be a plus for them, but do you think Leverkusen can sign some quality players?

They had the opportunity to invite many players in the transfer window because of their victory in Bundesliga and their overall performance last season, but they failed to sign important players then; now that they are struggling in the Bundesliga, do you think they can attract some quality players to leave their respective teams for them? I don’t think so; but if they can be able add some quality players to their squad, they will have the opportunity to compete for the Bundesliga title race because Bayern Munich has taken the first position, and Dortmund is not in good form to compete for the title.

The conditions become difficult when in the end Bayern's financial condition which seems to be still difficult when compared to several other clubs makes them look for players will not be easy because they have to adjust to the budget they have.

Although last season their performance was outstanding and managed to benefit from winning trophies while boosting their popularity but in the end their finances were a little disturbed, of course this will make Xabi's condition difficult if the option he does is to look for alternative new players by overhauling the current squad.

Unless they try to offload some of the star players and replace them with new ones maybe this could still be possible because it could balance their coffers but on the other hand it could be a serious gamble in the end so I think Xabi will also think further in signing new players. Although it can still be done, in the end, some things will have to be sacrificed in order to make them balanced in terms of performance and finances.

If, for example, the new players who will be brought in in the second half of the season are able to adapt quickly, then of course they will be able to have a good impact in a short time too. But yes, because so far most new players  are expected to make a good change, but in reality new players always need time to get their best performance in their new team. But regarding whether or not Bayer Leverkusen is able  to defend the title, I don't think so.

But, when it comes to whether or not Bayer Leverkusen still have a chance to compete for the trophy this season, I think yes, Bayer Leverkusen still have a chance to compete. Because honestly, to defend the title is a very difficult task, moreover Bayern Munich also always managed to return to dominate the Bundesliga even though the road was not  entirely smooth and not entirely easy either.
