Bayer Leverkusen: The World’s Most Intriguing Team, Thanks to Xabi Alonso

In a recent video by Jon Mackenzie of Tifo Football, he boldly proclaims that Bayer Leverkusen is currently the most captivating team on the planet. In a ten-minute analysis, the presenter delves into what makes this German team so exceptional, and the answer lies in the transformative impact of former Real Madrid midfield maestro, Xabi Alonso, who assumed the reins of Bayer Leverkusen in October.

At the time of Alonso’s appointment, Leverkusen found themselves languishing in the relegation zone in the league. However, in a remarkable turnaround, they managed to vault into European competition and even reached the semi-finals of the Europa League within a mere six months.

In the current season, Leverkusen is being touted as Bayern Munich’s chief competitor for the coveted Bundesliga title.

Among the passionate supporters of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso is increasingly viewed as the ideal candidate to take the helm of the club in the upcoming season. This speculation is fueled by the expectation that the current Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, will step down to assume the role of managing the Brazilian national team.
