Despite a shaky start to the season, Leverkusen decision to appoint Xabi Alonso as manager proved to be a masterstroke, leading to a significant turnaround and a title-winning campaign.

The summer of 2023 saw Leverkusen strengthen their squad significantly adding depth and experience with key signings such as Granit Xhaka and Jonas Hofmann. Leverkusen ability to perform under pressure and secure crucial wins in tight matches has been a hallmark of their success with contributions from various players throughout the season.
