Bayer Leverkusen is German champion. Xabi Alonso’s team crowned an outstanding Bundesliga season by winning the title early. The Spaniard is humble after winning the title and has a clear message to the team.

Granit Xhaka’s goal wiped away the last doubts among the fans in the stadium. After the Swiss made it 2-0 for Bayer Leverkusen in the 60th minute, “Only Leverkusen will be German champions” echoed through the arena for the first time. The last half hour against Werder Bremen was the prelude to the championship party.

After beating Bremen 5-0, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are German champions for the first time in their club history. Xabi Alonso’s team clinched the title just five match days before the end of the season.

With the final whistle, all the dams in the stadium broke. Many fans rushed onto the pitch to celebrate the historic moment with the team. After Florian Wirtz’s fourth goal, fans ran onto the pitch, but the team talked to them and sent them back behind the boards. After the score was 5-0, the referee didn’t blow his whistle anymore, there was too much cheering and ecstasy in the stadium.

The father of success is Xabi Alonso. The coach has turned the team into a top team that is still undefeated this season. “It is a special day for the club. We have to enjoy the first championship. Maybe that would also be healthy for the Bundesliga if a club other than Bayern became champions. Now is the moment to celebrate. I have a top team with top players. It is an honor for me to work here. Maybe it’s all a bit too fast for me, but I’m enjoying it now,” said Alonso.

“It’s just awesome”

“It’s indescribable. I wouldn’t have dreamed of this a year ago. We pushed ourselves to our limits every game, so it’s deserved. It’s just awesome. With us you can see that everyone is needed. For us, the level doesn’t level off when we change,” said Jonas Hofmann. The coach sets a brutal example, and the team follows suit: “After the win against Bayern, there was a jolt in the team. The distance then grew week by week.”

As was the case throughout the season, Florian Wirtz once again stood out, scoring a hat trick after coming on as a substitute in the second half.

“I’m sure the team’s party today will be very modest”

Bayer Leverkusen has won the German football championship for the first time in the club’s history. Coach Xabi Alonso’s team won against Werder Bremen 5-0. Walter M. Straten from the sports editorial team explains the trainer’s success on WELT-TV.

“It’s indescribable. I can’t even realize it yet. It’s nice to have a party in the cabin. You can’t really imagine a season like this. “We played a dominant game,” said Wirtz. Robert Andrich said happily with a beer in his hand: “Now it’s no longer Bayern time, now it’s Bayer time.”
