Bayer Leverkusen secured their first-ever Bundesliga title with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen, marking the end of Bayern Munich's 11-year dominance in the league. The win was highlighted by a hat-trick from Florian Wirtz, a goal from former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka, and a crucial penalty by Victor Boniface. Under the guidance of coach Xabi Alonso, who was celebrated with a beer shower, Leverkusen not only clinched the title with five games to spare but also remained unbeaten throughout the season, showcasing a remarkable turnaround given their 17th place standing when Alonso took over less than two seasons ago.
