The day Leverkusen got the reign of German football!
When Florian Wirtz scored in the 89th minute, the visitors could not be contained. Everyone descended from the Bay Arena gallery onto the field. The game has not been restarted. The result has already been determined. Leverkusen 5 - 0 Werder Bremen. Leverkusen are the new champions of the German Bundesliga after Bayern Munich's dominance.
This is Leverkusen's first top-flight trophy in the club's 120-year history. They have been runners-up five times before. Bayern Munich's 11-year reign in the Bundesliga has ended. Bayer Leverkusen secured the title with 5 matches left.
Despite playing so far, Leverkusen has two titles in total. Due to repeated bad luck, Leverkusen was nicknamed Vizekusen ("second-kusen"). They have been playing regularly in the league since 1979. But finished the league as runners-up 5 times. And played the final of the German Cup 4 times. Of which 3 times the runner-up! Even if they played the Champions League final once, they had to lose.
But this time nothing happened. After yesterday's victory, Leverkusen's points stood at 79 in 29 matches. Second-placed Bayern Munich have 63 points from even matches. Leverkusen will remain at the top even if they lose the next five matches as the gap between the two teams has become 16 points. This is Leverkusen's first top-flight trophy in the club's 120-year history.
