It’s now official, Bayer Leverkusen are German champions for the first time in their history. The team coached by Xabi Alonso, still undefeated this season, simply performed a perfect exercise. Enough to delight the Spanish coach.“Every title is special, whether as a player or as a coach. Above all, it is the history of Bayer Leverkusen that is being written. Being able to win the Bundesliga for the first time. It’s a big moment and it’s time to celebrate. We deserved it. Not just because of the results, but also because of the way we did it.”Alonso told Marca.
A historic moment to celebrate, especially since when Alonso took over as head of Bayer more than a year and a half ago (October 2022), the German club was in a very bad position, relegated. Going from playing to maintain the title the following season is exceptional, according to him. “I followed Leverkusen before coming here. They had great players, great coaches, I played here… I knew it would be a big step forward, because it’s my first season as a coach in the top flight. Last season was a great experience. She put me in difficult situations that we overcame. I didn’t expect the second year to be this good, but it was amazing.”, said Alonso. There are still the German Cup and the Europa League to go for, in addition to the unbeaten record in the league. So the season is not over yet.
