It depends on whether or not Xabi can maintain his players and consistency.
The new season is just around the corner and we should also expect a drop in form as the new season will have new targets, especially with the Champions League coming up next season which we know is the biggest competition of all as it features the best clubs in their respective domestic competitions but it will certainly be an interesting competition.

Hopefully Leverkusen won't have the same problems that Napoli had in Serie A this season after they won the Scudetto.  Talking of coaches at th moment there is the name Kompany who is rumored to be the closest to moving closer to Bayern but that could be a blunder where we know that Kompany this season did not manage to maintain a good position in the EPL and even his club had to be relegated .

The defeat with a big score at home certainly strengthened the assumption that the second leg Bochum would not be able to provide a strong resistance. Apart from that, Bochum performance was very bad in today match where they were not able to score a single goal even though they had many good opportunities. I also think Bochum will play in Bundesliga 2 next season where they really wasted opportunities in today's match.

For Fortuna Düsseldor, of course, winning with a score of 0-3 in the first leg will give them more freedom for the second leg match later. Of course they have a bigger chance of winning the second leg because Fortuna Düsseldor will play at home.

With the way things are going forth for Bayern Munich it is not brainer that they definitely have an internal problem which they are yet to solve completely even though they parted ways with some of the club officials. The biggest mistake was the untimely sack of the current German head coach Julien Neglesmann, who to me was the perfect fit for a club like Bayern. Tuchel who they shouldn’t have announced to that they are considering sacking is now looking to leave even as Bayern Munich is making moves to keep him as feels betrayed. Now Bayern who many have rejected for personal reasons are looking to confirm Komapany as head Coach, this is a very tricky job at this stage for him, because he seriously lacks the experience to head such a big team. But should this come out true then I will give it to Bayern Munich for spotting a talent. Kompany actually is a great potential who if he masters his craft will bring back good days for Bayern.

Bayern Munich falling of the radar is still not I imagine now even though eras come to an end but this Bayern Munich team looks like a club that can still challenge.

I think by now they must have realized the level of damage they have gotten themselves into as a result of the their poor performance against Atalanta because nobody expected them to concede 3 goals without replying any one when they have been so good in goal scoring this season. Yes Leverkusen was predicted as the favorite because of their decent performance in all competitions but against Atalanta they underperformed and got defeated in a very bad way. Alonso can't be blamed because he didn't see that coming from his players especially the defense and after the game they have to get back on their feet, work on themselves and get ready to keeping fighting especially in the last finals they have to prove themselves once again in the DFB title which they need to win in order to get back the teams confidence, they will be in trouble if they fail to lift the DFB trophy after their weak performance against Atalanta.

The final results of the Play-off in the first leg are:
Bochum 0 vs 3 Dusseldorf


Bochum was unable to take advantage of this opportunity to stay in the Bundesliga, so this defeat became stronger and took them to Bundesliga 2. Yes, because it would have been quite difficult for them to get 4 goals in the second leg. This time alone they were hit with 3 goals. Especially later in the second leg when playing away. That's pretty dubious.

It's time to wave goodbye to the bottom 3 clubs of the Bundesliga: Bochum, Koin and Darmstadt. Actually, I'm a bit surprised by Koin's performance this season, it's really bad. Even though last season they weren't this bad, they were able to finish in 11th position, actually it wasn't that bad. However, this season, they have wasted a lot of opportunities and the start of their game at the start of the season was also quite bad.

If Bayern Munich can't hire a proper coach/manager, no doubt Leverkusen may dominate again Bundesliga in the next season. But sure, we don't ignore other teams such as Dortmund, Stuttgart, and Leipzig. These teams also have the chance to win the title of Bundesliga in the next season. Moreover, if the performance of Leverkusen can't be as consistent as the previous season. After seeing Leverkusen performance in the final Europa league yesterday, I'm a bit worried they won't perform as well as this season anymore.

By the way, it seems Bayern Munich still doesn't decide which manager to replace Tuchel's position. The latest news we heard, Bayern Munich wants to hire Kompany as their new manager. I don't know what Bayern Munich is interested in Kompany, I see no great achievement of Kompany for this season. He is the manager of Burnley but this team ended in the relegation zone in EPL. It is quite confusing whay Bayern Munich wants to hire him. I don't think he is better than Tuchel. Among the candidates of the next manager of Bayern Munich, I think Kompany is the worse option.

Look at the stats of Kompany as the manager below. I think it is not quite convincing to choose him as the next manager of Bayern Munich.

Now with the current situation most chances we are having Bochum into Bundesliga 2 with they are trailing by 0–3 at home and Düsseldorf in complete control which is good for them.

Even having good ball possession is not helpful for them with they are having only one shot on goal and things are completely in favor for the visitors which are going to have their first season in Bundesliga after four years stay into Bundesliga 2.

Of course, the situation for Bayern is not the easiest now, but they still have a great team that was able to show that they were in no way inferior to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals and I think that they were even better, so the situation is not such that the new coach will have to fix everything with from the very beginning, he will just need to improve some aspects with motivation and defense. I am confident that Bayern will be able to find a worthy candidate, especially since now the choice of coaches has become better. Maybe Pochettino?

Would have posted in the paid Bundesliga pool but it's now closed with the season ended... except for me nothing ends until we know who is here to stay next one! Or is there truly no interest from anyone here about poor old Bochum?

And with that, Bochum had my vote in tonight's first-leg playoff -- and they look worth their call, except they conceded a goal from Dusseldorf's sole attempt, and then after that the game looks to be more balanced. Please don't let them win! Not that either are really very good to be part of next season's elite...

But it seems, if for example Bayern Munich doesn't get the right coach next season, then maybe Bayer Leverkusen will still be able to win the Bundesliga trophy again next season. I think this could happen, considering that it seems like Bayern Munich also has internal problems which are likely to be difficult for them to overcome, especially regarding the right coach for Bayern Munich next season. That way, it is very likely that teams like Dortmund, Leipzig and Suttgart will also be better next season. Ofcourse,it would be interesting if Bayern Munich failed to dominate the league, because with Bayern Munich still in chaos it would give other teams in the Bundesliga have the chance to win the Bundesliga trophy.

It should have happened sooner or later, but it’s a shame that it happened in the Europa League final and generally two games before the end of the season. We could have witnessed the establishment of an eternal record - an entire season without defeat (it seems that no one has ever achieved this at the top league level), but one game ruined everything. I think Bayer will win the game with Kaiserslautern, but this victory will taste bitter.

Yeah. Bayern Leverkusen experienced a painful defeat in the final stage of the Europa League by Atlanta, which is what everyone did not expect, but at the same time, Atlanta also deserves this. Even though Bayern Leverkusen have been unbeaten throughout the season, that should not be a reason why we will not give another club a chance of winning the league title. Although it was very surprising that Bayern Leverkusen were unable to score even a single goal, that’s a disappointment for them.


Is there anything wrong with Bayern Leverkusen's performance, or is there any weak point that needs fixing? NO. For a team to play a full season with their full performance throughout the season and be unbeaten shows how good such a team is, so Bayern Leverkusen only failing to win this match does not mean they have some weak points, and they did not show any of it obviously, so I’m surprised that you said other teams will know their weak points. I can only say the game was not by their side this time around, and that’s why they lost the trophy. 

A disappointing result for Leverkusen who failed to get the Europa league trophy, even though their win ratio is very high and they have an unbeatable match, this is very disappointing because I also bet and I really believe that they will get the Treble winner this season, is it possible that they were overconfident before and Xabi missed a lot of things so they let their guard down and Atalanta managed to steal the weaknesses of Bayer Leverkusen, the 3:0 result is a big defeat in my opinion, I hope Xabi learns why they lost that final match.

I also look at Leverkusen's domestic league which has a lot of power so I don't think Atalanta will be able to stop them, but what has happened is a fact, it's true that before the match starts we don't know who will win the match, but this encourages positivity in Dortmund who we consider the under dog team, We feel that Dortmund can beat Real Madrid in the Champions league final on the 2nd, and this may be a big prayer for both the bundes league that Dortmund can be the winner of the champions league, with that the bundes league will be good again because of the achievements that may be brought by Dortmund after the failure brought by Leverkusen.

I think that is where Xavi Alonso and Bayern Leverkusen got it all wrong. Xavi Alonso should have rested his players to get enough rest, which would have made them perform well against Atalanta in the Europa League finals. But Xavi Alonso chose to set the invisible record in the Bundesliga, which made Bayern Leverkusen display a bad performance against Atalanta and lose the Europa League trophy.

There is no guarantee that Leverkusen will follow in Liverpool footsteps after losing an important game, even if that happens to Leverkusen, it won't have a bad impact on them because the season has ended. Leverkusen only has one official match left this season when they face Kaiserslautern in the DBF Cup Final, Kaiserslautern relatively weak strength is not too difficult for Leverkusen to beat their opponent. The defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League Final was very painful for Leverkusen because they failed to maintain their chances of winning the Treble Winner this season. Leverkusen will certainly learn from their mistakes to win their second trophy this season.

Yes, maybe this is one of the factors why Leverkusen had to lose this match, they seemed too involved in celebrating their success in the Bundesliga, so that reduced their concentration a little and in the end they had to lose to Atalanta in a very important match because with this defeat in the end they failed to become champions in the European League.

It seems that Xabi escaped something like this, the strategy he implemented was successfully broken by Atalanta, resulting in their first defeat this season. They still have 1 more match and I hope they can maximize this to win the title, yes they still have 1 final match in the DFB which if they fail in this match it will be very disappointing because it means they cannot maintain their impressive performance, yes even though In fact, what they have achieved this season is quite enough.

Bayern leverkusen don't have luck in the final with all there performance since the start of the competition they have not lost any match this season thing the season as finish to complete their record but they fail to win Atalanta in the final, xabi alonso's record was not complete since they defeated them in the final, since I so the first half have already given up against levenkusen because they didn't perform as they used to do in the league but that is football, You can't predict who will win, but I'm sure many people believe Leverkusen will win the title since they are in peak shape, but Atalanta put in more effort in the game and were rewarded in the match. I'm upset because I believe Xavi Alonso will win the trophy this season. When I watch Atalanta ahead 2-0 in the first half, I believe they can make a comeback and go to extra time, but they fail to capitalise and defeat Atalanta.

Xabi Alonso to be the best coach this season because he did not win the Europa League final; next season, let us see if Leverkusen can perform well, win the league, and compete in the Champions League. because with the talent that xavi alonso has, he can compete with the big clubs in the champions league next season with manchester city and madrid because he did well this season and stayed unbeaten in the league. I am just waiting for the champions league next season to see how leverkusen will compete with all of these big clubs because I know they can have the experience because the coach is very good and can challenge the other coaches in the competition.

Despite all the struggle that Xavi Alonso did for Bayer Leverkusen, he will not like all that should be broken at the end because he has made in the Germany league but not in the Europa League. I know many were not expecting to see what happened yesterday, including me. I was very sad because I have very high potential for them that they will be able to go with two trophies this season, but that was the hardest thing for them because they were not able to overtake Atalanta in the Europa League. Although that is a game, we have to look forward and forget the past.
 
So we have to wait and see how next season will come for them and if they will be able to keep the same record that they kept this season, which I know might be very hard for them also, but anything can happen as long as Xavi Alonso is still their coach. We should be ready to see more wonders and experience in the Champions League next season.

Leverkusen unbeaten record was finally broken after Atlanta managed to embarrass them at the Aviva Stadium, the majority of us here certainly supported Leverkusen to be able to continue their previous positive trend, but in fact, Atlanta, who was not the favorite in this match, was actually able to destroy the game built by Leverkusen, using 3 strikers in frontline of course, it was quite effective for Atlanta in that match because it seemed that Leverkusen defense was more focused on scamacca and forgot about the lookman who often stood freely on the wing, but apart from Atlanta clever tactics in the game, it seems that Leverkusen didn't have a good enough mentality when playing in the final match.

 I don't think euphoria was the reason for their failure in the final, because there was quite a big time difference between them winning the league and the final match, besides, even if euphoria was the reason, shouldn't they have better motivation to be able to win the next trophy?  However, if we pay attention to that match, Leverkusen was able to dominate the match, but we can see that Atlanta's solid defense actually made it difficult for Leverkusen to score goals, apart from the fact that in that match Musso also appeared quite impressive with several crucial saves he made throughout the match.

The defeat for Leverkusen serves as a reality check, reminding them that success in football is earned through hard work and perseverance. Their previously undefeated strides, particularly showed by dramatic late equalizers, may have created a sense of invincibility, but this loss to Atalanta proves the fact that no team is immune to defeat. The match was a wake-up call, discarding any thoughts of divine intervention and highlighting the need for continuous effort and improvement.

 The disappointment of losing the Europa League final and ending their unbeaten record in such a manner is unpleasant for Leverkusen. Falling short of clinching the championship and conceding three goals without reply shows the frustration of the defeat. The finality of the loss, occurring in the dire moment of the season, increases the sense of disappointment and will be a strong reminder of the challenges inherent in competitive football.

 Despite the setback, Leverkusen's overall season performance remains remarkable. While they may have failed in the final, their achievements throughout the season shouldn't be diminished. However, the defeat shows the importance of addressing weaknesses and staying vigilant, as other teams will undoubtedly take note of Atalanta's successful tactics and seek to exploit Leverkusen's vulnerabilities in future encounters. This loss serves as a learning experience, motivating Leverkusen to regroup, refine their strategies, and strive for even greater success in the seasons to come.
