      Millions😂
      For Bayer 04 Leverkusen to gain that much new Fans....it will take more than one season of domination.
      Xabi Alonso will eventually leave....Florian Wirtz will eventually play at FC Bayern München. Boniface and Frimpong will have literally free choice to pick a Top Five Club. Stanicic is only there on loan from FC Bayern München.
      Leverkusen will have to accomplish something way more impressive than one 'freak of nature ' season....they can win the triple....but can they win a Title next year? Can they hold on to their Top players with contract extensions? Can they get far in the Champions League?
      Or will they end like any other Bundesliga Club that dared to provoke and challenge the domination of a ruthless FC Bayern München?

      You should look from season to season, some of their players are also 30+ like Xhaka, but at least for one more season they will remain just the same.
      And Leverkusen played CL finals before, remember the infamous Zidane volley?
      So talking about them like another Leicester City is extremly disrespectfull and shows a lack of Bundesliga knowledge.
      But to answer your question, Bayern will bounce back, if not next season it will be the season after

    It's wishful thinking, but I really want the team's senior players to realize that what they're going through is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and that they can build a legendary legacy at this club if they all decide to stay together. Obviously, they'll earn less money, but I don't want what happened to Klopp's Borussia to happen to them.

    As much as the praise that is being heaped onto Xabi Alonso is well-deserved, I wonder why nobody notices the absolutely outstanding work by Bayer's medical department. Bayer have had practically no injuries all season, just imagine. Even Victor Boniface's pulled muscle happened when he was with the Nigerian national team. It is hard to overappreciate the contribution of Bayer's medical staff when you look at how the players keep going and going until the 90th minute and beyond when the opponents have long run out of steam - and this week after week after week.

      I think it has been obvious for some years now that they do something the right way in Spain when it comes to form managers. I think it is the national football associations that set up the courses to get licences. Once you have a your national professional leagues filled with good homegrown managers, the next generation of managers will already start at a higher level than elsewhere. For me, Spanish managers are ahead of German or Italians at the moment. Enlgish managerial talents do not get a chance, as the top two tiers are so filthy rich, they go and buy managers abroad

      I think for the next season it looks pretty well. Xabi stays and I am convinced most of the key players except perhaps one or two will stay as well. But after that it could become hard for Leverkusen to keep their coach who could considering the job at madrid as the successor of Ancelotti. And when Xabi leaves who knows what happens. Maybe some of the key players are going to leave as well. But lets see.

      @@Tommy-pn3rh money is a very funny convincing thing. Not everybody is Jamie Vardy. Even he got persuaded with money to stay. Leceister got picked apart the season after they won the league. No doubt, Bayer will be the same. Loyalty is pretty rare these days. After all, its a job and non of them really supported Leverkusen from young. So, attachment is not a thing.
      We can look at Arsenal after the Invincible as well. got picked apart ever since. Even the legend, such as Henry and Viera nevermind Ashley Cole bounce as soon as they got the chance.
      In conclusion, very few teams can keep the crew together after success, and mainly it's due to their financial status rather than history. Even Mane from Liverpool walk away, Countinho, they had to throw giant stack of money to Salah to beg him to stay. Some say, pay them what they deserve, but some teams just can't.
