Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen secured its first-ever Bundesliga title, ending Bayern Munich's 11-year championship streak.

Leverkusen clinched the title with five games to spare, leading second-place Bayern by a significant 16 points.

Florian Wirtz's hat trick in a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen sealed the historic win, sparking celebrations among fans who flooded the pitch. This victory marks a significant achievement for Leverkusen, which had previously been known for finishing as runners-up.

Alonso, who took over as coach when Leverkusen was in the relegation zone in October 2022, expressed joy at ending Bayern's dominance and emphasized the importance of celebrating this momentous occasion. Leverkusen now sets its sights on a treble, with the German Cup final against second-division Kaiserslautern and a Europa League quarterfinal second leg against West Ham on the horizon.
