After the masterpiece of one of the greatest seasons in the history of modern football, Bayer Leverkusen are approaching this new campaign with their teeth scratching the parquet. The German champions intend to show that their extraordinary year was not just a one-shot. And for that, he will still have to face tough competition from Bayern Munich, a fallen ogre ready to take his revenge.
Xabi Alonso could legitimately fear a mass exodus of his important players, but that was not the case. Leverkusen kept its key players, such as star Florian Wirtz, and even strengthened itself by attracting some choice recruits, such as Frenchman Martin Terrier. First serious test for the Ruhr club on the pitch of Borussia Mönchengladbach, another historic Bundesliga team.
