Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro Tips Leipzig as Bundesliga Favorites Over Bayern Munich

Bayer Leverkusen, the recent Bundesliga titleholder, is preparing for the upcoming season with a fervor to retain their crown, but CEO Fernando Carro’s sentiments suggest a different view on the league frontrunners.

Discussing the prospective title favorites, Carro voiced his belief in his own team’s strength, but surprisingly leaned towards viewing RB Leipzig as the primary threat over perennial powerhouse Bayern Munich.

RB Leipzig, a consistent challenger to Bayern since their arrival in the Bundesliga in 2016, seems to have earned Carro’s confidence, despite never having fully demonstrated the capability to consistently dominate the league.

However, the one potential stumbling block for Leipzig’s title aspirations could be the impending departure of Xavi Simons, with the Dutchman likely to return to parent club Paris Saint Germain unless Die Roten Bullen can secure a permanent deal.

While Carro’s perspective may come as a surprise to many, the battle for Bundesliga supremacy is set to be an intriguing one as Bayern sets their sights on reclaiming the title from Leverkusen.
