Bayer Leverkusen demolished Werder Bremen 5-0 on Sunday to win the Bundesliga for the first time in their 120-year history.
It is also the first time in 11 years that Bayern Munich would not be winning the league.
Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen were controlled and dominant despite the occasion, a hat-trick from Florian Wirtz alongside goals from Victor Boniface and Granit Xhaka extending their unbeaten run to a stunning 43 games in all competitions.
Leverkusen’s maiden title win, coming after five second-place finishes in their history, keeps their dream of a remarkable treble alive this season.
