Bayer Leverkusen have finally won their first Bundesliga title. In October 2022 when Xabi Alonso joined Leverkusen they were not in their best of form. They were struggling at the 17th position in an 18-team league.  But today the scene is different. 

They are no longer Neverkusen as they have eventually taken home the trophy after a chic and entertaining hammering of every German Team.  It is fascinating to see that Leverkusen won their 25th game of the season, in just their 29th game overall. They are currently champions for precisely that reason. With their incredible season-long play, Alonso's team has finally put an end to Bayern Munich's hegemony. 

When the final whistle was blown the entire stadium erupted in joy and happiness. The fans ran over the pitch and the ground was immersed in the colors of Leverkusen. There were tears all. Afterall the impossible has happened. FC Bayern Munich have been beaten for the first time in 11 years. After facing heartbreaks for so many time, Bayer Leverkusen are eventually the champions of Germany.  

It is interesting to note that this was the first full season of Xabi as a Manager, and he pulled out one of the greatest wins in sporting history. However, the job is not done yet as they have 3 more challenges coming in the next one month. The German Champions have a chance of ending this season as invincible. Furthermore, they also have a chance to complete a treble. How much will they win in this historic football season. The answer lies in the womb of time. But, for the time being it's all gold for Xabi and his men.
