After 11 long years, Bundesliga finally got a new champion not called Bayern Munich. In an ubelieveliable season, in which they didn‘t lose a single game, Bayer Leverksen took the title and acccording to some pundits, they are the favorites to win it again. So far, they already lost one game in the first two rounds (against Leipzig at home), but for former Bayern Munich midfielder, it still doens‘t matter. Toni Kroos made his name with Real Madrid, but he got the transfer from Bayern, and didn‘t left many friends in that club. The recently retired German international gave his prediction for this season and surprisingly to many, gave Leverskusen the biggest chance to win the title (again).’The soon-to-be-free’ XIWhat is even more surprising is the fact that he predicted that his former club will finish the season at the same place like last season – thrid. But this time, Stuttgart won‘t finish at the second place. “My tip is that Dortmund will finish second. About a month and a half ago I would have said that Dortmund would finish fifth if things went well. In my opinion, they have made very poor transfers in the last few transfer periods. But this summer they have done a sensational job” he said in the joint podcast “Einfach mal Luppen” with his brother Felix. Boosting the confidence – record breaker Muller and Kane shoot Bayern above the competitionIn fact, what Kroos predicted was quite logical considering the fact that Bayer basically kept the whole team intact, the coach Xabi Alonso is still there and they have made some shrew signings too. That is totally opposite to Bayern, who changed the coach and brough relatively unexperineced Vincent Kompany, who was not even the first, but rather fifth-choice for the position, which is never good. The Bavarians also made some big transfer moves and the additions of Michael Olise, Joao Palhinha and Hiroki Ito will shift the squad, especially now, when some veterans like Leon Goretzka are pushed aside. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8312799##As for his former team Real Madrid, Kroos was pretty confident.”I believe that this will really be a dominant story over the long term and that Real will of course be champions. I have no doubts about that. Then there will be a race for second place, which Atlético will win against Barcelona“ he said.
