The Bundesliga season has been full of surprises, with Bayern Munich not clinching the title for the first time in 11 years. Thanks to Bayer Leverkusen, who defeated them, Bayern had to settle for third place. After securing a 2-1 victory against Augsburg, Xabi Alonso’s team finally lifted the championship trophy at home in a thrilling moment.
Leverkusen has had an impressive season, going unbeaten in 51 consecutive matches, a record for the Bundesliga. This remarkable feat surpasses even Bayern Munich’s achievements. The team’s success can be attributed to their solid foundation and the leadership of coach Alonso, who has committed to staying with the club despite interest from Bayern Munich.
Looking ahead, Leverkusen appears set for continued success next season, posing a significant challenge to Bayern Munich. With key players like Wirtz, Grimaldo, and Xhaka staying put, the team’s future looks bright. As they chase their dreams of a treble, including the Europa League and cup titles, Leverkusen aims to extend their unbeaten streak to 53 matches, signaling a new era of competitiveness for the club.
