Considering the quality of players at Bayern Munich at the moment, I think they stand a good chance of competing for both the German Bundesliga title abd and the UEFA Champions League title as well. Bayern Munich major problem of last season wasn't lack of quality players to win trophies but because of the club former manager Thomas Tuchel's poor coaching and now that they've signed another winger in the person of French forward player Michael Olise, their attacking options have improved. Vincent Kompany must silence his doubters and that he can only do if winning at least one of those two important trophies.
So far from what i have seen of the playing and the players it looks very good and for sure they are one of the favorite in the German League.
They also should be good equipped and prepared for the Champions League games , but this have his one rules.
Tuchel was and is not a bad coach but the style he wants to play hasnt fitted in Bayern Munich at that time.

Bayer Leverkusen will be participating in two tough tournaments this year. One is the Bundesliga and the other is the Champions League. They want to play for the championship in both tournaments, but one thing they should not forget is their opponent Bayern Munich. Bayern, who want to make people forget last year's unpleasant results, seems to be fully prepared this year. They want to storm the league with their new coach. Let's see which team will win the Leverkusen Bayern Munich fight and become the champion. Of course, the third surprise team is Borussia Dortmund. If they have a season as expected, they can become one of the candidate teams for the championship.

If they have a season as expected, they can become one of the candidate teams for the championship.

Yes, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, and Dortmund are the teams with great squads. I can say they will be the next season's Bundesliga trophy contenders, but the main two favorite teams to win it should be Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. Despite many people not having confidence in Kompany due to his past records, I have some confidence in him. I believe he can do great work at Bayern Munich and could win the Bundesliga trophy with the help of the great squad he has at his side. In fact, Bayern Munich is my favorite team to win the Bundesliga trophy next season because of the great players they have.But let's see what will happen as the season is about to start; maybe Leverkusen will surprise us again and win the Bundesliga.
If Bayern Leverkusen becomes champions for two seasons in a row, I think there will be a big earthquake in Bayern Munich. Although Bayern Munich became champions for many years in a row, they changed the coach after not becoming champions once. They changed many players and transferred new players. We understand from this that the championship is very important for Bayern Munich. Even though they have become champions dozens of times, they will continue to strive to become champions. My favorite this year is Bayern Munich. However, if Bayer Leverkusen becomes champions, it means that Bayern Munich's hegemony in the German league has come to an end.

If they have a season as expected, they can become one of the candidate teams for the championship.
Dortmund have been trying hard to break Bayern Munich dominance for more than a decade, they almost succeeded in the 22-23 season, where both teams collected 71 points when the season ended. Surprisingly and phenomenally, it was Leverkusen who managed to break Bayern Munich dominance last season, maybe Dortmund can do it next season. However, it is not an easy job, because Kompany has spent a lot of budget to improve the depth of his squad, as well as Xabi Alonso who has so far managed to convince most of his key players to stay at BayArena. We realize that Dortmund have also recruited several players, but Nuri Sahin needs a lot of luck to be able to beat Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in the competition for the Bundesliga trophy. Not to mention if we include Stuttgart and Leipzig as other possibilities, it will clearly make the competition more complex and competitive.
Honestly I say if Alonso managed to take advantage of the opportunity when Munich was experiencing a very deep decline in performance. While in terms of player quality Munich is more superior but unfortunately Alonso is more precise in providing strategy.
Last season Leverkusen looked very impressive, but this season I doubt it a little. The reason is very simple because Bayern Munich will not repeat the same mistake because this team is known as a Bundesliga giant who must maintain the reputation of his team. And on the one hand Leverkusen this season will not only compete with Munich but must compete with Dortmund who managed to bring in a reliable striker.

Regarding Stuttgart and Leipzig I doubt these two teams because it is clear that they will not be able to become the strongest challenger after Stuttgart lost its mainstay player who moved and joined Dortmund.

Bayern Munich getting a friendly cup, against Tottenham, was peak Kane situation, what would be even more Kane would have been Tottenham winning, but we all know Tottenham has allergies against cups so even at friendlies they do not win it lol. Kane didn't lift the trophy up, which is a great show of respect towards Spurs, he didn't want to do that to his old team, this one was friendly of course so it didn't really matter much to anyone but it is still a good gesture.

The end is that Bayern is doing something decent enough and I think we could see something changing, I know I mocked Kompany choice a lot but I see that they are actually playing a good style of football, if they can make this work then I am sure that they are going to end up with a good result at the end of this season, they look like they might actually do something about it. I personally believe that we are going to see some changes and they may end up getting the league if they play well like this.

I think Bayern Leverkusen will not dominate the league like last season because Bayern Munich and Dortmund will do anything to win the league, when I watch their preseason against Arsenal, I see like they will not perform well anymore because Arsenal dominate the match and defeat them even in preseason, they need to perform well and serif they will still do well next season, since Xabi Alonso and achieve his goal with Leverkusen to win the league title, I think they will focus on the champions league now to win the trophy, but he won't be easy since is a big competition and they need to challenge big club in the competition first and defeat them, because last season they do unbeat in the Bundesliga and even in the Europa League but as last they fuckup in the final and Atalanta have opportunity and defeat them and win the Europa trophy. So Xavi Alonso needs to play well if he wants to win another trophy next season. I enjoy how other clubs are now challenging all of the top teams, making the league competitive. Let's see who will have the opportunity to win the league next season.

Leverkusen will dominate for sure and bayern need to start cooking things up to be able to meet up with Leverkusen, because the way dortmund and bayern will find their self in the same position next season, people already think that since they have the experience and they have been defending the title for a very long time. since the title is not for them alone and its a competition they need to fight for the title so them winning it  before does not guarantee that they will be able to win.  arsenal defeating Leverkusen is a normal thing arsenal is a stronger club than Leverkusen and they participate in different leagues and you can not compare bundesliga and premier league and champions league because the English leagues are tougher than other leagues so it was natural for arsenal to actually beat bundesliga.  Leverkusen should focus on the bundesliga since they are new takers them coming to the champions league and wanting to win the trophy will destabilize them am very sure of that, and they will lose what ever trophy they are fighting for and it is a normal thing you can not be fighting for what you don't have experience about Dortmund and bayern will even do better during the champions league.

Everyone seems so sure about the domination of Leverkusen. Honestly, I am not so sure about it. Because I think this time the teams are going to be ready for their tactics. We have already seen in the final of the Europa League competition last season that if you can actually counter the tactics of Leverkusen properly, will not have much to do. But there is a big difference between only planning and planning with good execution. I would like to say better competition for the title in Bundesliga this season. I personally don’t know what will actually happen this time because Bayern Munich got a new coach. I don’t know how they would perform. So far they have done pretty well in the friendly matches. But those are friendly matches. I am also interested to see how Leverkusen will perform in the Champions League competition.

Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 3 FC Bayern

 Grin

This was a game that brought back some funny memories, because Tottenham played twice against Bayern. 8 days ago, Tottenham played against Bayern in a game in which Tottenham put out their best players, while Bayern put out few good players, but even so, Bayern won the game. What made Bayern's superiority clear was that yesterday Bayern played against Tottenham again, but this time Bayern put out their best players and Tottenham did too, but again Bayern beat Tottenham. showing that Bayern is far superior to Tottenham

Bayern's coach, Vincent Kompany, was Burley's coach last season and as Burnley's coach he played against Tottenham 3 times last season and had the following results:

Burley 2 - 5 Tottenham (Premier League game)

Tottenham 1 - 0 Burley (FA Cup game)

Tottenham 2 - 1 Burley (Premier League game)

Last season Vincent Kompany couldn't beat Tottenham. But the funny thing is that as Bayern's coach:

Bayern 2 - 1 Tottenham ( friendly game )
Tottenham 2 - 3 Bayern
( friendly game )



 Grin
Kompany's Burnley career wasnt great. But whats he doing at Bayern? That turns heads. Remember Tottenham's losses? Ages ago. This new Bayern team? Different story. Twice beating Tottenham in friendlies? That goes beyond skill, folks. Mindset matters.

Kane leaving Tottenham for Bayern and not winning? Its narrative. A win goes beyond the scoreboard. The subject is psychology. Kompany moved from fighting Burnley's relegation to commanding Bayern in these crucial games. Folks, that shows growth. It demonstrates he's adapting, learning, and disproving doubters. He may not have decades of coaching expertise. At Bayern, he's shown that with the appropriate tools, he can win on the field and in the hearts of fans.

As a result, pre-season is more like a warm-up act before the big event.
I agree that its only a way to warm up for the coming season , but only about a week or something like that to getting into it , its good to have a win against others.

Stuttgart's team has been changed, and Bayern is still getting used to Kompany's new scheme.
Bundesliga is not at all like the other leagues. Let us see how they deal with real pressure when the points are awarded
The hype before the season is one thing, but the real test comes during the year. Were they able to handle it, or did they fall apart? We'll find out soon enough
The way how Stuttgart and Munich was playing was really good from what i have seen , so i guess they are ready to deal with the real pressure.
There are a few Teams where the hype is big and its always before the season start , fingers crossed they can keep that hype.

The Visit Malta Cup is a friendly match that is fully sponsored by Malta as part of their tourism marketing to attract investment and tourists to visit Malta, although the trophy is not prestigious and is only for entertainment, but as a player who is on the team of course Kane must welcome it. This victory is like his other team mates, to respond to Kane response in this match, maybe our views are very different, indeed Kane failed to winners with Munich in his first season and of course the Malta Cup trophy will not be able to replace his losses in the Bundesliga and Champions League , but that doesn't mean he want consider the Malta Cup trophy as something worthless and fake, because after all that will only disappoint the Maltese people and also the organizers, in this case it is clear that he looks happy to return to Tottenham and win the match, however he will not celebrate it in front of his former team because each player has a different way of honoring the club that once made his name.
If you thought the cup was fake and irrelevant to a player of his caliber, wouldn't he ask Kompany not to play him in that match, besides that if the match visit to Malta Cup was played at Arsenal or Dortmund, would he also refuse to celebrate it like at Tottenham?
I dont think not.

Lol dude, I am not sure you fully understand the complexity of the situation and I do indeed understand why he refused to take it first and celebrate it. The guy is hungry for success and while you got a point that he should not be disrespectful towards Malta as a country and its citizens, I think nobody understood it that way. If someone can halfway empathize with how a professional like Kane might feel after such a bad season (the worst for Bayern Munich in a very long time), there is no misunderstanding whatsoever as to why he declined to make the trophy look bigger than it is.

I doubt that Malta feels insulted. They probably know what category their cup pertains to.

It is not easy to play against a former team that has made his name great and Harry Kane can only give respect to his former team by not doing anything excessive. However, his feelings will still be the same for Spurs and that is why he is reluctant to wear the captain's armband when lifting the trophy.

On the other hand, Vincent Kompany seems to have begun to recognize the characteristics of his players so that this will make it easier for him to set a strategy for Bayern Munich next season. However, winning against Spurs in the pre-season match is not an easy result and both teams look serious in the match without underestimating each other.

Guys you see, everyone of you got this fully wrong about Kane not carrying around the trophy. It has nothing to do with the respect he has for Tottenham. The reason was that the "Visit Malta Cup" is completely worthless and irrelevant in the world of soccer and he did no want to carry around a fake trophy in front of his Tottenham family after failing at the European Championship final, Champions League, the DFB Pokal and the Bundesliga title and I agree, it would have been quite ridiculous if a guy of his calibre ran around celebrating with the "Visit Malta Cup" trophy as if he achieved something big... That was the issue, nothing else.

Kompany's team have looked good in the friendlies so far. They beat Tottenham twice. I wish Kane played longer than only 10 minutes in total in these games. It was against his old team in the end.  Smiley  In five days, the season starts officially for them with an Ulm game in the DFB Pokal. How many goals Bayern Munich would score you think?  Tongue

I feel like they are going to make a solid start by scoring at least a few goals. The Bundesliga starts quite late compared to other European teams though. Bayern Munich are going to play their first game on August 25.

Yes, the Bundesliga will start the new season at least one week later than other major European leagues. With these differences, it means that Bayern Munich still has one friendly match and will also start with a match in the DFB Pokal. Thus, it is possible that Bayern Munich will start the Bundesliga season with more thorough preparation. Because after all, Bayern Munich's opening match is also the fact that Bayern Munich will play away against Wolfsburg which is certainly not easy at all.

Indeed, I believe that Bayern Munich remains the favorite team to win against Wolfsburg later, but still, I personally would not consider it to be an easy match. Therefore, even though Bayern Munich may still look fine in these pre-season matches, basically matches in official competitions will be more difficult. Because they also both want or target to get points, of course to be in a good position in the standings.

Xabi Alonso is not an experienced coach but he is a coach who has very good quality, what he showed last season is real proof.

It is difficult when a team will compete in the Champion League because the competition is very fierce but I am sure Xabi Alonso and also Leverkusen management will be realistic in determining their targets and of course they do not set aside to defend the Bundesliga title just for the match or pursue the target in the Champion League.

Defending the Bundesliga title is the main target of the Leverkusen team and I see it as very possible for them to do, because the strength of the team and also their rival Bayern Munich are still in repair to rise which has no guarantee to be able to exceed last season's strength.
Xabi Alonso experience is still very minimal, but he has shown his quality as a great coach. He managed to transform Leverkusen in his short time into a team to watch out for in the Bundesliga. His genius in strategizing and managing Leverkusen has made Bayern Munich lose the trophies that they had won in several years in a row. He has already managed to bring Leverkusen their first Bundesliga trophy, but if faced with the Champions League, it is still uncertain whether he will be able to do so.

I am very optimistic that he can win the Bundesliga trophy again, but he will have a hard time winning the UCL trophy. Xabi Alonso will try to do his best this season including bringing Leverkusen to compete with other elite clubs in the Champions League, but he will also prioritize the Bundesliga because he wants to win the trophy again in a row.

I don’t know if he is even thinking about the Champions League trophy right now because his main target is going to be defending the Bundesliga title successfully. And he knows very well that it is not going to be easy at all. Even though Bayern Munich has got a new coach, they are still a very good squad. And there is a very big chance that Vincent Kompany is actually going to do very well. Because he is a coach who has good quality. So it is going to be a good fight for the Bundesliga title in my opinion.

Alonso, with the minimal experience that he has, has been able to show that he is still a very good coach. So it is possible that he will be able to defend the Bundesliga title successfully. But we all know that if Bayern Munich starts to play as well as they can, it is going to be a problem for everyone in the Bundesliga.

I saw the emotions Kane had to battle with because probably he's still got a who lot of affection towards Tottenham as it's not upto two seasons he left but then it's the game of football ball and at that stage, someone needed to win, you can only show solidarity if you still love your former team but you cannot forsake your present team, its common amongst players when they have to play against a team they did played for before they got to their new team.
Yes, of course, even though this is a friendly match, but as a player who has played for a club for a long time and then they have to face the club, there will definitely be a different emotion. Just imagine, he has been with Tottenham for more than 10 years and even if combined when he entered the Tottenham academy, he has been there for a long time, so of course an emotional bond has been created between him and this club.

However, as a professional player, there is no reason whatsoever, after he leaves and defends a different club, he still has to show his best game even though he has to make the club he defended before lose. This is one of the challenges for players, because I have to admit it is not easy to be in a situation like that. But again, the professionalism of a player is the most important thing.

Before they were confirmed as the German Bundesliga champions last season, Bayer Leverkusen had already been confirmed as one of the teams that'll play in the UEFA Champions League competition this season so it's a not a surprise to them that they'll be playing in Europe's biggest and most prestigious club competition and that's why they're expected to be prepared for what lies ahead of them. Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso have already shown enough managerial abilities for anyone not to undermine his team and I believe they'll have a good campaign come next season.
Yes you are right I agree that Bayer Leverkusen did well last season so it is no surprise they are playing in Champions League. They should be ready for it. Their manager Xabi Alonso is good at his job like we can see how he is managing the team so I think they will do well. He has experience and knows how to make good decisions during games and how to manage the team and players. This will help them in the Champions League. I am excited to see how far they will go in the competition.
I think Bayer Leverkusen performance last season helped them to set the unbeaten record they had last season and the league trophy and cup but coming to this new season they will be faced with a lovor challenges since they will be playing in the champions league competition which will be difficult for them since they are appearing in the champions league after a long time and they will need to also defend their league cup and league title as their biggest rivals Bayern Munich will be fighting to take back their position and win the league back from them so the manager of Leverkusen Xabi Alonso will have a great responsibility to do a better work and to ensure his team gets better next season.

The Leverkusen team was in great form last season and the players were very confident. The team went undefeated in the Bundesliga and won the title. But the important thing is that Leverkusen will play in the Champions League this season. Consistently performing well in the Champions League and Bundesliga at the same time is a difficult task. So I have considerable doubt that the Leverkusen team will be able to perform as well as last season.

But Xabi Alonso is a very experienced coach. And he is taking necessary measures to strengthen his team. We have seen erratic performances from Leverkusen players in friendly matches. Before the start of the season we cannot say for sure how the team will perform in the upcoming season. But I hope Leverkusen will fight for the Bundesliga title next season as well.
Professional teams never think that if they do well in one major tournament they will not worry about another tournament. Leverkusen qualified for the Champions League last season due to their excellent performances in the local league and they secured the Bundesliga title last season after going undefeated, so next season they have the challenge of retaining the title of the local league tournament as well as doing well in the Champions League. It may be challenging for any team to do well in two tournaments simultaneously but professional teams always take up this challenge. Leverkusen are definitely a professional team so they need to plan to do well in the two tournaments and move forward accordingly. Their biggest rivals in the local league will be Bayern Munich and Dortmund, while every team in the Champions League is a tough opponent for them, so there is no alternative to a proper plan.

The friendly match was played using a home away system and what was interesting was that Bayern Munich was able to win both matches, this friendly match was a very emotional match for Kane after he left Tottenham Hotspur last season, the most interesting thing in this match was when Munich lifted trophy and kane refused to do it because he has enormous respect for Tottenham.


I saw the emotions Kane had to battle with because probably he's still got a who lot of affection towards Tottenham as it's not upto two seasons he left but then it's the game of football ball and at that stage, someone needed to win, you can only show solidarity if you still love your former team but you cannot forsake your present team, its common amongst players when they have to play against a team they did played for before they got to their new team.
