In a historic moment for Bayer Leverkusen, the club achieved a significant milestone by lifting the Bundesliga trophy for the first time in their 120-year history. This victory marked the end of Bayern Munich’s 11-year reign as champions, with Leverkusen securing a resounding 5-0 win over Werder Bremen on Sunday.

Under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen knew that a win in this crucial match would secure the title with five games remaining. The team delivered a dominant performance, extending their unbeaten streak to an impressive 43 games across all competitions.

The hero of the match was Florian Wirtz, who scored a hat-trick, along with goals from Victor Boniface and Granit Xhaka, sealing the triumph for Leverkusen. Despite his pivotal role in the team’s success, Boniface humbly deflected individual praise, emphasizing the collective effort of the club.

Boniface, a Nigerian striker, showcased his talent by opening the scoring from the penalty spot and providing an assist for Xhaka’s goal. His remarkable performance contributed to 11 goals and nine assists in just 18 Bundesliga appearances this season, despite missing four months due to injury.

Alonso expressed his pride in the team, stating, “This is a very special moment for the club. Winning the Bundesliga for the first time in 120 years is something very special. The players are top. I am very proud of everyone.”

With the Bundesliga title secured, Leverkusen now has the opportunity to make history by becoming the first team to go unbeaten in an entire Bundesliga campaign. Additionally, they are still in contention for a treble, with the DFB-Pokal and UEFA Europa League titles within reach.

As Bayer Leverkusen celebrates this historic achievement, fans are filled with excitement and anticipation for what the future holds for the club.
