I do not think that it would be that simple, just because he is still the manager doesn't mean that they are going to win the title again or even be all that great. I think it's quite obvious that Bayern didn't learn from their mistakes and hiring Kompany as manager, a person who did not do all that well at premier league, and never managed a big club ever before, managing Bayern will not end with a good result, it is going to still be a problem for them.

I think it is clear that Xabi and Leverkusen still has a chance, and we may see them do fine eventually. We should consider the possibility of Leverkusen only being able to do fine, if Bayern does badly because I do not expect Leverkusen to have a similar season to this season.

I believe it was an unforgettable season for Bayer Leverkusen. Normally, everyone expects a better season than the previous season, but I think Leverkusen cannot achieve better success than this year next year. The success this year was excellent, but truthfully, such successes may not happen every year. Bayern Munich is aiming for a more successful season under Kompany's management and they will complete next year by transferring names that will achieve their goals.

Leverkusen has really performed extraordinary this season. Even though it was very unfortunate they had to lose to Atalanta. Even though that one match would make them the only team in history with a perfect record throughout the season! It is a record that is impossible to repeat even for Leverkusen themselves. Maybe this will be one of the most memorable seasons. But I admit Leverkusen are really on a different level this season. Congratulations to Xabi Alonso and all the players who succeeded in winning the first Bundesliga trophy in the club's history, as well as this being the first double winner for Leverkusen, CMIIW.

Maybe most people don't realize that being a coach is mostly for midfield players and even becomes successful. For example, Xabi Alonso brought Leverkusen to where it is today and even broke the record of 51 times undefeated despite suffering a crushing defeat in yesterday's final match against Atalanta, but Xabi Alonso's struggle and their team doesn't stop here, their journey is still a long way to go, even though Leverkusen is able to break Bayern Munich's record of never being defeated in the German League, at least Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen can continue to be consistent next season to make themselves a threat to Bayern Munich.

Regarding doubts in providing support for Leverkusen next season, it seems that this will not have an impact on Leverkusen's strength, because the mentality that was considered too early to win yesterday's Final match was very instant, so it is only natural that their mentality fell during yesterday's Final because Leverkusen this season was able to provide a surprise. which most people and football observers around the world didn't expect, of course this could be an incentive for Xabi Alonso to build the players' mentality and provide additional motivation for next season which Leverkusen said would be tough to endure.

Next season, the Bundesliga will welcome two new teams from the Bundesliga 2, St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel. St. Pauli will return to the top flight after a 13-year absence. Their fans definitely will be eager and anticipating their comeback, hoping that the team can establish themselves and avoid a quick relegation. For Holstein Kiel, their promotion is historic, marking their first-ever appearance in the Bundesliga. However, their main goal will be survival, which will require strengthening their squad to compete with the already established teams in the top league.

 The playoff stage saw Bochum, who finished 16th in the Bundesliga, face off against Fortuna Düsseldorf. The first leg took place at Bochum's home ground, giving them an opportunity to the host advantage. Also, it was not an easy task, as Fortuna Düsseldorf did their best to be very impressive in the Bundesliga 2 and this play off game this season. Bochum needed to be extra cautious of Fortuna's top scorer, Christos Tzolis, who had been in top form, including a hat-trick in their recent victory over Magdeburg.

 Bochum's home advantage was not really important because they lost wholly in the first leg and they had in mind that they'll need to be at their best to outdo a strong and confident Düsseldorf side in the second leg. The outcome of this playoff will determine who earns a spot in the Bundesliga, making it a high-stakes encounter for both teams. In the second leg game, yes suffering a defeat ahead, they put their best to equalizing and even winning the game on penalties. The result of the encounter clearly proves the class and level difference of both teams.

Of course, Xabi Alonso has made a big contribution to Leverusen, because he has succeeded in making Leverkusen better this season and even very well by becoming a very different team because it underwent drastic changes which surprised many football fans. Even though they lost to Atalanta, of course it was detrimental to them, but I think the achievements of Leverkusen managed by Xabi Alonso are a very good achievement and should be appreciated. I think it surprised a lot of people with their failure against Atalanta because Atalanta was the first team to beat Leverkusen this season. I myself was surprised that Atalanta was able to beat Leverkusen.

With next season I think Xabi Alonso will do his best for his team. It is true that defending the title will be difficult because the competition will definitely get tougher in the new season. Also, with Leverkusen being a very good team at the moment, I think they will maintain it and become an even bigger team, but it will be a difficult journey for them.

The playoff match between the two teams was of course quite interesting, I did not see the match directly and only saw it in the highlight video but even so in the first leg match Bochum actually looked like bad luck at that time, the first leg Bochum managed to control the match but unfortunately Hofmann's own goal actually became the beginning of Bochum's destruction, even after the goal was created Dusseldorf played quite effectively in attack,  Throughout the first leg Bochum looked very difficult and even had to lose 0-3 at home.

In the second leg, it was Hofmann who made a mistake in the first leg managed to make amends in the second leg yesterday, the two goals created by hofmann in the match made Bochum bounce back and try to chase the aggregate goals in the match, so in the end Bochum was saved with a penalty they got after Dusseldorf players hand ball in the penalty box and made the aggregate goals 3-3 and in the end the winner had to be determined by Penalty shootouts and Bochum are finally able to continue their journey in the Bundesliga next season.

Bochum won the final with 3-0 . Bochum performed excellent in this match and it won the final match of  Bundesliga  Relegation play off . Bochum won the match on penalties and it won win 6-5 competition. Fortuna Düsseldorf  performance was very bad and they cannot do any single goal but they make score in penalties but that is workless. Bochum hit 23 short but Fortuna Düsseldorf hit 22 shorts in the comparison . Bochum hit 8 shorts on target but Fortuna Düsseldorf can target only 6 shorts . The passes of Bochum team was 723 and that is Osum figure but Fortuna Düsseldorf team gave only 400 passes. That is all performance of both teams and that's why Bochum team deserved the win and at the end they won.

After having a season that is quite fantastic and full of records they broke this season, of course Leverkusen is the center of attention of world football fans today, Alonso was previously an allure for big teams to be recruited as coaches but he chose to stay one more season and try to repeat the glory of Leverkusen this season next season,  In addition to Alonso, of course, at this time the market value of Leverkusen players has increased drastically after everything they have done this season in the league, but even so it does not dampen the interest of big teams to sign them next season, currently Alonso chooses to stay at Leverkusen but of course he hopes to also keep his mainstay players at the club for next season.

A huge advantage will certainly be obtained by Leverkusen if they sell their main players, but won't it actually make it difficult for them to compete next season?
If Leverkusen sells its main players, of course they are no different from other mediocre teams so far, which triumphed and then destroyed again by selling star players, to compete in the Champions League next season, Leverkusen should add to the strength of their squad by bringing in new players and of course by maintaining the current squad.

Bundesliga is not consider easy at the end of other clubs. They've simply made good records and aiming for greater winning. Bayer Leverkusen have always been the very top club to make accommodations of excellent players. Players worked hard because they're determined for what's coming their path, it's been really a tough period but winning is compulsory for such a club. Bayer Leverkusen was considered the best competitive club this season. Leverkusen headcoach, Xabi Alonso have always been in the original picture when we're talking about determine minds and consistency.

It's quite impossible, but anything can happen at the moment. Frankfurt doesn't expect much. Being able to compete in the UEL is already a good achievement for them, but if in the end Borussia Dortmund can win the Champions League title and Frankfurt can take part in the Champions League competition, that will also be a good opportunity for them, but I'm not sure. Can Frankfurt compete with other clubs in the Champions League which is filled with the best clubs? Frankfurt is not a big club. The question is whether it can qualify for the group phase or in the end they don't qualify and ultimately have to return to the Bundesliga without achieving any results. But if the Europe League is filled with clubs that are equal to him and he can compete closely there and I don't think Borussia Dortmund can beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final either.

If you look at its performance, Real Madrid clearly has greater strength than Dortmund and I am also not sure that Dortmund can give Frunkfurt a gift by winning the Champions League title, so that will make Frunkfurt appear in the Champions League next season, but the fact is that Dortmund has to step over Real Madrid first which is is the best European club and of course has a higher chance than Dortmund. I think Frunkfurt must give up their hopes of appearing in the Champions League and must accept the reality of at least appearing in the Europa League.

It appears to me that Xabi's job of defending the club's continuity in winning the Bundesliga again next season is becoming considerably easier since bayern has appointed kompany from burnley as a new manager for the upcoming season. Ths will be also helping leverkusen to defend its trophy for another season. Bayern Munich has replaced Tuchel with a substandard coach which is also showing if bayern is now getting another setback. I believe Leverkusen can continue to perform as well as they have this season and im still hoping that xabi can win another bundesliga trophy. As of right now, Xabi has no plans to leave the team nor join in another club consider he is still having good time in leverkusen. .
He is still eager to manage Leverkusen for another season and he can leave anytime. We may see him leave Leverkusen once he is able to provide another excellent season for the club in the future. Xabi has rejected numerous offers from other clubs.

He still intends to stay in Leverkusen for several years but who knows if football is dynamic. Xabi can do U turn anytime. I'm confident Xabi will leave at the end of his contract but he may also change his mind at the end of next season. Leverkusen has also confirmed that Xabi can leave the club at any time as part of the agreement being made between him and leverkusen before he has been officially being a part of club.


Only a few players were reported leaving but there's no further development regarding this.

It is certain that Leverkusen will do that and besides, while there is more profit, they should be able to take advantage of this momentum to sell players who have high market value. There are quite a lot of players here who have experienced a big jump in terms of market value and of course they will be targets of top European clubs for next season.

However, if Leverkusen are basically reluctant to sell their players, that is also a good decision and they can repeat the same success as this season next season. They still have a big chance of retaining the Bundesliga title if the squad is still intact and not a single player leaves. But again, maybe they have to sell one or two of their players so that the club's finances are also good.

But that's exactly why people succeed and become noticable, let's take for example Xabi Alonso is a good coach and another team like Manchester city are about to lose on probably one of the best coaches the football world has to offer so it's practically just fine for Xabi Alonso to be noticed and even called up because of what he had achieved and believe it takes more than just luck to achieve what Alonso achieve so him getting recommendations from Manchester city is just a normal thing.

If Munich wants to compete next season, they have to completely overhaul not only the coach but the main squad, where they need new players who might be able to balance the existing squad to compete next season, because the competition will be even tighter, both in the Bundesliga and in the UCL. That's why Munich must be able to overhaul it even better, at least they must be able to get some really good and very productive players to make Munich dominate the Bundesliga again and compete with Leverkusen next season.

Munich's failure this season without any title is not because Kane brought bad luck to this team, it's just that they need a lot of changes to their main squad, but they let them stick with the existing team and ultimately failed in the Bundesliga as well as in the UCL and other competitions, it's very unfortunate If next season Munich has to fail again because they are a big team, there is no way they have to let it continue to fail again, Munich must be able to become a strong team again like before, at least they can get trophies this season, both in the Bundesliga and in the UCL.

Bayern have already tried to lure Alonso, which could have been a big problem for Bayer, but they failed. I don’t rule out that they will try to lure several leaders, which could weaken Alonso’s team, I don’t even doubt that Bayern will do everything possible to regain the champion title. Guardiola spoke very highly of Kompany, maybe this will turn out to be true, because he had the opportunity to work with Guardiola for a long time, he had the best teacher you can imagine.

I didn't realized this match and after lost with big scores in the first leg from Fortuna Düsseldorf i was lost hope to Bochum and i thought Bochum was done because second leg will be helded at Fortuna Düsseldorf home ground and with their condition i highly doubt Bochum can able to win at least with 3 goals margin and reverse the situation but clearly i was wrong because Bochum was performing fantastic and they can able to scores 3 goals which makes both teams has same aggregate 3-3 at the normal time and Bochum was dramatically can eliminate Fortuna Düsseldorf from penalty shootout indeed this result is highly unexpected because previously Fortuna Düsseldorf in the comfortable position but Bochum has displayed strong mentallity which make them can win the match and survive at Bundesliga

Bochum managed to turn things around by beating Fortuna Düsseldorf via a penalty shootout. It's amazing that no one thought that Fortuna Düsseldorf would fail to qualify for the Bundeliga next season, even though in the first leg they played very well when they hosted Bochum and they won at Bochum's home ground but instead they lost at home.
In the second match Fortuna Düsseldorf was the host, but no one expected Bochum to play optimally last night, the 0-3 defeat at home did not have a bad impact on the mentality of the Bochum players, but what happened was that Bochum managed to equalize so this match had to be continued to penalty shootout which resulted in Fortuna Düsseldorf losing 5-6 to Bochum, which means Bochum can still survive in the Bundesliga next season.

This is the team's mentality that makes everything different, Bochum proved that they are more worthy of staying in the Bundesliga next season, this was a very dramatic match.

Xabi Alonso plays an important role at Leverkusen. Leverkusen managed to show that they are capable of becoming champions this season. I really hope that Leverkusen can win again in next season's match. Even though it looks like they will have difficulty achieving this, I am sure that if Xabi Alonso is still willing to become coach at Leverkusen then they will win again.

The condition of Bayern Munich as a team that often wins in the Bundesliga is not good. On average, the great players that Bayern Munich has have left and moved to other teams. But when the player transfer market opens again, there is a possibility that Bayern Munich will buy a great player and might become a big threat to Leverkusen.
