Actually it's really going to be interesting on how these three new teams will perform in this year uefa champions league, am talking of bologna, Bayern Leverkusen and Girona, though among them all, it's Leverkusen that I feel are the strongest among this three teams due to the fact that they haven't sell any of their best players, but the other teams, especially bologna, most of their key players have left the club already, even the manager to that took them to the UEFA champions league, so I think due to that, it's going to be a very long season for them if they don't replace those players that left with top quality.
Lastly, talking of what I am expecting from this three teams that just qualify in this year champions league, I think that this particular competition will be too strong for them, and Bayern Leverkusen wouldn't be able to stay unbeaten that long in the UCL the way they were last season in the Europa league, though I might be wrong, but that's what I think though.
There is no doubt things could not easy for these teams in Champions League as these all are having historic success into their domestic leagues and now it's challenging time for them to have success here into this event for me most chances we will have Bayer Leverkusen into round of 16 because they are having good experience of playing into UEFA and their performance and squad both are having enough potential to go through but for the rest of two teams things could be not easy.
Girona and Bologna are going for first time and it's challenging time for them to have good performance in both domestic league and Champions League usually teams lost their momentum, and we are having terrible end of season for the teams like these, but I am having some confidence in Girona which is doing good job for improvement into their squad, but Bologna is surely having not easy time, and we have to check how they will be done in coming season.
Leverkusen knows how to play the European game. They have been all around the block and possess the tenacity and knowledge needed to go far in the Champions League. Experience counts, and those folks know this.
Girona and Bologna are first rodeo participants in the top leagues. But hey, remember Dortmund? They shocked everyone a little bit years ago and travelled all the way to the finals. Girona's calculated actions, strengthening their team, make them obviously serious. Though Bologna's route is difficult, that is what makes football interesting. The fans like to see the new men come in and disrupt things sometimes. Its anybody's game, folks.
