In a historic turn of events, Bayer Leverkusen has dethroned Bayern Munich to claim their first Bundesliga title in the club’s 120-year history. This victory not only ends Bayern’s 11-season hold on the title but also breaks Leverkusen’s infamous ‘Neverkusen’ curse.
The key to Leverkusen’s success this season can be attributed to their recruitment strategy, which focused on bringing in experienced players to provide stability and leadership to the squad. Xabi Alonso, in particular, played a significant role in instilling intensity and focus during training sessions, which translated into their performance on the field.
Throughout the season, Leverkusen showcased their growth and competitiveness in crucial matches, including a pivotal draw against Bayern Munich. Their ability to score late goals and never give up proved to be crucial factors in their success.
This league title win now offers Leverkusen the opportunity to compete for a treble and potentially go an entire season without defeat in multiple competitions. It marks a turning point for a club that was once synonymous with near misses and heartbreak, showcasing their resilience and determination to achieve greatness.
