Bayer Leverkusen has made history by winning the Bundesliga title for the first time in their 120 years existence. Managed by Xabi Alonso, they clinched the title with five games to spare after a convincing 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen. Leverkusen remarkable achievement marks the end of Bayern Munich 11 years dominance in the league. Under Alonso leadership, Leverkusen remained unbeaten throughout the season, winning 25 out of 29 matches and drawing the other four.

They are also on track for a treble with a 2-0 lead in the Europa League quarter-finals and a German Cup final against Kaiserslautern. Leverkusen success has been attributed to experienced players like Granit Xhaka and effective coaching methods by Alonso. This triumph marks a significant turnaround for Leverkusen, shedding their ‘Neverkusen’ tag from past disappointments including a near-treble miss in 2002. The victory has brought immense joy to fans and honors Alonso decision to remain with the club despite offers from other top teams.
