Bayern Munich is determined to reclaim its Bundesliga dominance after a rare trophyless season, bringing in Vincent Kompany as the new coach and investing heavily in new players like Michael Olise and Joao Palhinha. Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, remains the team to beat following an undefeated season and a domestic double. The team's resilience was highlighted by their recent German Supercup win against Stuttgart. Other challengers, including Stuttgart, Leipzig, and Borussia Dortmund, also aim to build on last season's successes. The upcoming season promises intense competition as Bayern looks to reassert its status, while Leverkusen aims to maintain its remarkable run.
