After an 11-year reign, Bayern Munich’s grasp on the league was broken on Sunday by Bayer Leverkusen, who achieved a thrilling 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen in their inaugural Bundesliga triumph.
Leverkusen’s 29-game unbeaten streak this season, under the wise guidance of Xabi Alonso, engraved their name in history and secured their first league title since 1993.
With five games left and a commanding 16-point advantage over Bayern, Leverkusen looks set for more success. Their incredible adventure doesn’t end in the Bundesliga; they’re still going strong in the German Cup and the Europa League, where they’re leading West Ham United 2-0 in the quarterfinals.
Florian Wirtz’s incredible hat trick highlighted Leverkusen’s title-sealing victory over Bremen, extending the team’s unbeaten streak to an incredible 43 games this season across all competitions.
Overwhelmed by the accomplishment, Wirtz voiced his disbelief, and Alonso, thinking back on their victory, stressed how crucial it is to end Bayern’s stranglehold on the Bundesliga’s survival and the general competitiveness of German football.
Alonso maintains composure in the face of their historic victory, pointing out that the squad is concentrating on future tasks and possible victories in other events. With their victory, Leverkusen has reached a significant milestone in their history, and the club and its supporters are ecstatic. They are now focused on continuing their success in the upcoming games.
