German football has experienced a historic moment today. Bayer Leverkusen, coached by the Spanish Xabi Alonso, has been crowned Bundesliga champion for the first time in its history. This title is the finishing touch to an extraordinary season for the team, which has been undefeated in all competitions since the beginning of the season, thus surpassing the historical record of a German team in this regard.
From the beginning, Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen emerged as the great dominator of the championship. His colorful and effective play, together with defensive solidity, allowed them to overcome all their rivals with hardly any difficulties. Bayern, which started as one of the favorites for the title, could not cope with the overwhelming pace of the “aspirin” team, which took the direct duels with authority.
This Sunday, April 14, 2024, after beating Werder Bremen by a score of 5-0, Bayer Leverkusen won its first Bundesliga title. After 119 years of existence, the aspirin team managed to win the German first division.
The title victory took place five days in advance, which has taken a bit of the excitement out of the final stretch of the season. However, this does not tarnish the merit of a team that has made history in German football.
Leverkusen's figures in the league are simply impressive. Numbers that speak for themselves and confirm the absolute superiority of the team throughout the campaign. Bayer has gone 43 games unbeaten and put an end to Bayern Munich's 11 consecutive titles.
Xabi Alonso, the main architect of this success, has proven to be a top-level coach in his first great experience on an elite bench. His playing philosophy, based on transitions and ball control, has permeated perfectly into a squad full of talent.
Without a doubt, this is a day of celebration for Bayer Leverkusen and for the entire city of Leverkusen. A day that will be forever recorded in the history of the club and German football.
