April 14, (THEWILL)- In a historic triumph, Bayer Leverkusen have won the Bundesliga title for the first time in their club’s history, ending Bayern Munich’s 11-year reign as champions. Xabi Alonso’s side clinched the title with five matches to spare, registering a stunning 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the BayArena.
The victory was a deserved one for Leverkusen, who have been one of the Bundesliga’s most consistent performers in recent years. Their impressive campaign saw them maintain a relentless pace, with the team now having the chance to become the first side to go unbeaten across a Bundesliga season.
The match was an exhibition of Leverkusen’s attacking chops, with Nathan Tella, Victor Boniface, Granit Xhaka, and a hat-trick from Florian Wirtz ensuring a comfortable win for the home side. Boniface’s penalty and Tella’s brilliant run and cross set up the opening goal, while Xhaka’s long-range strike from a Boniface assist and Wirtz’s clinical finishing ensured the victory.
The BayArena crowd erupted in celebration as the final whistle blew, with the players and staff embracing in a moment of pure joy. Alonso, in his first season as Leverkusen’s manager, has masterminded a remarkable turnaround, transforming a side that has often been known as “Neverkusen” into champions.
With the Bundesliga title now in the bag, Leverkusen will turn their attention to the DFB-Pokal and UEFA Europa League, where they will be aiming to complete a historic treble. The team’s success has captured the imagination of fans across Germany, and they will undoubtedly be a team to watch in the coming years as they seek to cement their status as one of the Bundesliga’s elite.
