Who are the strongest potential opponents Bayer Leverkusen could face this season? The ultimate conjecture!
With Bayer Leverkusen's 3-0 thrashing of Bayern Munich, who else was unhappy about that? You know, Leverkusen's biggest difficulties in Germany were easily solved by them. Yes, we haven't seen such a good team in European football for a long time, and before the 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, we watched their Premier League record more than once: 17 wins, 4 draws. Lost? The last Premier League player not to lose to Barcelona under Ernesto Valverde, right?
At that time, Barcelona had been unbeaten in the Premier League for a long time, but they suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League. And what is the situation of Bayer Leverkusen in this game? They were invincible in three campaigns. German Cup, Bundesliga, UEFA ......Bayer Leverkusen has not tasted defeat until now. After Bayer Leverkusen's 3-0 thrashing of Bayern, it doesn't look like much of a difficult season this season. In the German Cup, with the exception of protégé Glad**, the other teams were slightly better than Bayer Leverkusen because they drew 0-0 with Bayer Leverkusen. But this situation is rarely repeated, so the German Cup trophy almost belongs to Bayer Leverkusen. At this point, Bayer Leverkusen can hardly find anyone to compete with.
In the Premier League, the only headaches are Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen have not been able to beat them in the first game. However, Bayer Leverkusen will face Stuttgart in the next leg, so they still have hope of winning. It was a very risky matchup for Borussia Dortmund, but the fact that Dortmund have been inferior to Bayer Leverkusen this season and drew with Bayer Leverkusen in the first round was a bit of a fluke. Therefore, Bayer Leverkusen can guarantee that they will not lose in this league game.
Can Bayer Leverkusen keep a clean streak on three fronts? Isn't this the third in a row? Which team do you think is the strongest?
In fact, the treble should be the league, cup and Champions Cup, and even if Bayer Leverkusen won the treble, it would be one of the three titles, because the Europa League is not the Champions League. It can be said that the roads of the European Union are full of thorns and more creatures than German football. Bayer Leverkusen's dismissal is likely to happen in the Europa League.
Could it be that Liverpool is our biggest competitor?
Although I don't know much about the qualifying situation, I must say that the favourites to win this tournament are Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool are them. Regardless of which team wants to win the championship, both teams will meet in the final. It's either the Final Four, the Final Four, or the Final Four. From a team perspective, Liverpool are better than Bayer Leverkusen and they are now dominating the top spot in the league in a very strong manner.
Of course, Bayer Leverkusen have yet to face a team as strong as Liverpool this season, so they are unbeaten so far. It is clear that Bayern have not reached the same level as Liverpool this season. Even so, Bayer Leverkusen still narrowly missed a home defeat to Bayern Munich thanks to a penalty awarded by the referee. It will be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to continue without losing against Liverpool in the Champions League.
Given Bayer Leverkusen's current situation, they won't be leaving Europe for the time being, so there is a good chance that they will face the Reds. And they are also the team that is most likely to compete this time. Let's all look forward to Andrea Pirlo vs Liverpool, and maybe it will be a match no less than the Champions League.
