Florian Wirtz is one key frontline for Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso will not take things likely with his opponents next season. Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title with unbeaten run, they didn't record a loss and we know they're the best German club this season, surpassing Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund.
Bayer Leverkusen have other plans to meet up, winning the UEFA Champions League title is their target but they should ensure they're having one of the best competitive squad because this is no newbie title but meant for top clubs.
For the Bundesliga title next season, I am still quite confident that Bayer Leverkusen can secure it again and also smaller trophies in Germany. However, for the Champions League, I think there are still stronger candidates for Bayer Leverkusen to face because to win there you not only need strength, but you also need a very good mentality. We can see from Real Madrid who have successfully won their 15th trophy this season where their mentality was really strong in that match even though their opponents were much better in terms of defense and ball control.
In simple terms, we can see from the previous experience that Leverkusen has previously gained, which failed in the European league yesterday, being defeated by Atalanta, while in the UCL there are many strong teams from various leagues who can beat Leverkusen very easily.
Leverkusen doesn't need to dream too high at the moment when they are in the UCL and it is enough to gain great experience to survive until the semi finals which can raise the mentality of the Leverkusen players to always be confident in every match in the future.
In the UCL, it is really needed in terms of experience and mentality of the players, which must really be paid attention to, even though it has many quality players, but if you don't have good experience, you will definitely only end up failing in certain rounds.
Leverkusen only needs experience to continue to strive to continue to strengthen teamwork so that they don't perform as badly as they did against Atalanta and being able to get the Bundesliga title is one alternative to increase the self confidence of Leverkusen players or getting a title in the DFB competition is also one way to improve Leverkusen players mentality to get used to facing stronger teams.
