Coached by Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title for the first time Sunday after 120 years through 5-0 win over Bremen
In the end, it wasn’t even close — Leverkusen leads second-place Bayern by 16 points after stretching its German record unbeaten run to 43 games across all competitions this season.
Florian Wirtz scored a hat trick as Leverkusen routed Werder Bremen 5-0 and the game ended with a pitch invasion Sunday to secure the club’s first-ever German league title with five games remaining.
“It’s indescribable ... I don’t think it’s possible, or I personally can’t even realize it yet,” Wirtz told broadcaster DAZN.
“I need a little more time in the locker room to really get my head around what we’ve achieved. But yeah, so far it’s just been nice to party outside with the fans and also have a bit of a party in the locker room.”
Fans had already stormed onto the field when Leverkusen scored its fourth goal with seven minutes to go, and the final minutes were played in thick red smoke from supporters’ pyrotechnics while players on Leverkusen’s bench clapped along to songs, danced and hugged one another.
