For the first time in history. An event that has been waiting for 120 years has happened in the German football championship. Video
Bayer Leverkusen, founded in 1904, won the German Bundesliga football championship for the first time in history. In the 29th round, Xabi Alonso's men defeated Werder Bremen 5-0 at their home stadium.
The hosts took the lead in the 25th minute. Jonas Hofmann was brought down in the penalty area. At first, the referee did not see a violation, but after a tip from the VAR assistants and watching the video replay, he changed his decision and awarded a penalty. The 11-meter penalty was clearly converted by Boniface.
In the second half, Bayer scored four scoreless goals, removing all questions about the winner.
The third goal, scored by Wirtz, was especially beautiful.
After the 4th goal was scored, the match almost broke down after the excited fans ran onto the field early to celebrate the championship.
This happened again after the 5th goal with 1 minute left in regulation time. The referee didn't tempt fate and blew the final whistle right away.
Thus, the team from Leverkusen scored 79 points and with 5 rounds to go became unattainable for its closest rival, Bayern Munich.
Bayer Leverkusen has never won the German elite football division in 120 years. The club has been a Bundesliga silver medalist five times, which is a national record. Once in its history, the club won the UEFA Cup and the National Cup.
