Having gone it alone up and down this season in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen logically won the first German championship title in its history this Sunday (5-0 victory against Werder). A historic performance, which could also result in two other coronations in the weeks to come: in the Europa League and the German Cup.

After communing with their supporters for almost an hour on the lawn of the Bay Arena, the new German champions also went to their joy in the locker room.
