Bayer Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen 5-0 to secure their first-ever German Bundeliga title; Florian Wirtz scores the first senior hat-trick of his career as Xabi Alonso delivers Bayer Leverkusen’s first trophy since the club won the German Cup back in 1993
Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen have been crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time in their history.
Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen 5-0 to move 16 points clear of Bayern Munich – who have won the last 11 Bundesliga titles – with five games left to play.
It is the first trophy Leverkusen have lifted since their German Cup victory in 1993.
Incredibly, Alonso’s side remain undefeated in all competitions and on course for a historic treble. Leverkusen hold a 2-0 advantage over West Ham ahead of Thursday’s Europa League second leg and will face second-division Kaiserslautern in the German cup final.
