Neverkusen is no longer in use. With their first-ever Bundesliga victory on Sunday, Bayer Leverkusen, under the direction of Xabi Alonso, ended Bayern Munich’s 11-year winning streak.

In the end, it wasn’t even close: Bayer Leverkusen, who has extended its German record undefeated run to 43 games across all competitions this season, leads second-place Bayern by 16 points. With five games left, Bayer Leverkusen secured their first-ever German Bundesliga title with a 5-0 thumping of Werder Bremen, capped off by a pitch invasion on Sunday. Florian Wirtz scored a hat trick in the victory. “I don’t think it’s possible, or I can’t even realize it yet,” Wirtz said to broadcaster DAZN. “It’s indescribable.”  

Bayer Leverkusen Pulls Through The Match As Players Celebrate Their Victory

“I need to spend a bit more time in the changing room to comprehend what we’ve accomplished. However, thus far, it’s just been enjoyable to celebrate outdoors with the supporters and to throw a little celebration in the locker room. When Bayer Leverkusen scored their fourth goal with seven minutes remaining, the crowd had already poured onto the pitch. The players on the Leverkusen bench celebrated, danced, and gave each other embraces as the game’s closing minutes were played in a cloud of dense red smoke created by the fans’ fireworks. Hundreds more supporters onto the field after the fifth goal in the ninetieth minute, and the referee called a chaotic but joyful finale to the match.
