Finally a dream came through. Although, in August 2023 when the new Bundesliga season began, there was certainly no dream of winning the title by Leverkusen fans. After Borussia’s great season which tragically ended with a draw in the last game of the season and Bayern’s capital transfer of Harry Kane, Bayer fans maybe believed they could break in between these two clubs, but this time, all the dots were connected perfectly by coach Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen made a huge surprise and broke Bayern’s 11 consecutive title run. Bayer 04 are the 13th different club to win the domestic crown and the first ‘new’ one since VfL Wolfsburg in 2009. Everything in between was just Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.Boniface scores as Bayer finally win the Bundesliga titleThat’s why this title is so sweet to all those not supporting Bayern and Borussia. And Xabi Alonso was delighted and talked to the crowd just after the game. “This is a very special moment for the club. Winning the Bundesliga for the first time in 120 years is something very special. The players are top, they are a top team. I am very proud of everyone. It is an honor for me to work here” he said.Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title in the fewest games since Pep Gaurdiola’s Bayern Munich wrapped up the league during the 2013/14 season in just 27 matches. 🇪🇸⏱️#Bayer04 pic.twitter.com/RQDMUHdaFA— The Coaches’ Voice (@CoachesVoice) April 14, 2024 Young Florian Wirtz came from the bench and scored a hat-trick and even had to calm down fans near the field, preventing a pitch invasion before the final whistle. “It’s indescribable… Personally, it hasn’t yet sunk in what we’ve done. I’m going to have to go back to the dressing room to get my head around it. Obviously, at the start of the season we couldn’t have imagined this… It the belief came gradually when we started winning a lot of matches with a dominant style of play. We said to ourselves we could do better than just have a good season and qualify for the Champions League” said Florian Wirtz.
