Bayer Leverkusen has etched their name in Bundesliga history, clinching their inaugural league title with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday, April 14. Surging 16 points clear of perennial champions Bayern Munich with five games remaining, Leverkusen has officially ended the Bavarian giants’ 11-year reign.
Xabi Alonso, the former Bayern Munich star turned manager for Leverkusen, orchestrated an extraordinary turnaround since taking the reins last season when the club languished in the relegation zone. Under his guidance, Leverkusen secured a Europa League spot and embarked on an unbeaten streak spanning an impressive 43 games across all competitions.
