BAYER LEVERKUSEN, THE GERMAN CHAMPIONS



Bayer Leverkusen won their first ever Bundesliga title, thanks to a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen. Bayern Munich won over Cologne on Saturday keeping Lerverkusen Title celebration for at least a day.


At the final blow of the whistle, there were tears of joy and jubilation for the Xabi Alonso's side. Victor Boniface's 25th-minute penalty set Leverkusen on their way before Granit Xhaka and Florian Wirtz scored stunning goals in quick succession at the BayArena on Sunday.

Supporters stormed on to the pitch in mid-match when star man Wirtz added a fourth in the 82nd minute, and again when he completed a hat-trick soon afterwards.

Leverkusen's landmark achievement ends an era of dominance for Bayern, who had won the past 11 Bundesliga titles.

Unbeaten in all competitions this season, Leverkusen remain on course for a remarkable treble in Alonso's first full season in charge, with the German Cup and Europa League still in their sights.


There are still five games remaining to boast of as Alonso's side is the first team in Europe to be crowned the title winner.
