The match saw Leverkusen dominate from the outset, with Victor Boniface converting a penalty in the 25th minute to kickstart their title-winning performance. Granit Xhaka and Florian Wirtz added to the tally with stunning goals, sending the home crowd into raptures. Wirtz’s hat-trick goal prompted scenes of jubilation as supporters stormed the pitch to celebrate with their victorious team.
Under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen’s achievement marks the end of Bayern’s 11-year Bundesliga dominance. Undefeated in all competitions this season, Leverkusen now set their sights on a remarkable treble, with the German Cup and Europa League still within reach.
The victory comes as no surprise, with Leverkusen’s Bundesliga win becoming a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’. The anticipation was palpable at the BayArena, where fans welcomed the team bus with confetti and flares, eager to witness history unfold.
Despite early pressure from Werder, Leverkusen’s superiority shone through, exemplified by Xhaka’s exquisite long-range strike and Wirtz’s clinical finishing. The rapid succession of goals left no doubt about Leverkusen’s deserving title triumph.
From languishing in the relegation zone when Alonso took charge in October 2022 to becoming Bundesliga champions in just 18 months, Leverkusen’s journey to the top is a testament to their resilience and determination.
