Bayer Leverkusen made history on Sunday as they clinched their first Bundesliga title with five games to spare after a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen. The team’s coach, Xabi Alonso, expressed his joy, saying “the feeling is incredible” as they celebrated their remarkable achievement.
The title celebrations were temporarily put on hold as Bayern Munich won their match against Cologne on Saturday. However, Leverkusen sealed the deal the following day with an emphatic win that saw Victor Boniface, Granit Xhaka, and Florian Wirtz score stunning goals.
The atmosphere at BayArena was electric as fans eagerly awaited the moment their team would lift the Meisterschale. The jubilation was palpable as supporters stormed the pitch in celebration when Wirtz completed his hat-trick.
Alonso, who took charge of Leverkusen in October 2022, reflected on the team’s incredible journey from being in the relegation zone to becoming Bundesliga champions. The achievement marks the end of Bayern’s 11-year dominance in the league.
With Leverkusen still in contention for the German Cup and Europa League titles, Alonso’s side is on course for a remarkable treble in his first full season as coach. The team’s success has sparked interest from Europe’s biggest clubs, highlighting Alonso’s growing reputation in the world of football.
