Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, was beaming with joy as he celebrated his team's historic Bundesliga title win. It was a moment that will forever be etched in the memories of the club and its fans. The team had achieved something truly remarkable - becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to finish a league season unbeaten. This was a feat that no other team had ever accomplished before.
The final game of the season saw Leverkusen facing off against Augsburg, and they emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline. This victory not only secured their first-ever Bundesliga title but also extended their season-long unbeaten run to an incredible 51 games in all competitions. With just two more wins, they would secure an unprecedented treble, further solidifying their place in history.
But Alonso and his team were not content with just one title. They were determined to make even more history by finishing the league season undefeated. And they did just that, winning 28 of their 34 league games, scoring an impressive 89 goals and conceding only 24. Their last defeat had been in May 2023, a 3-0 loss to Bochum. Since then, they had gone on an unbeaten run that would be remembered for years to come.
The celebrations were not over yet for Leverkusen as they still had two more important games to play. They would face Atalanta in the Europa League final and Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final. And Alonso, the team's leader, was determined to keep the momentum going and secure two more trophies for his beloved club.
After celebrating with the Bayer Leverkusen ultras, Alonso gave an emotional press conference where he expressed his pride and gratitude towards his team and the fans. He mentioned how the fans had been there for the team throughout the season, showing their unwavering support and passion. As a coach, Alonso now looked after everyone on the team, and he was proud of each and every one of them.
The team's achievement was not only remarkable in Germany but in all of Europe. With 90 points, they came close to breaking the record of 91 points, but what truly set them apart was their unbeaten run. Alonso acknowledged that this was a unique opportunity for the team, and they were determined to make the most of it.
In the end, Alonso reflected on the significance of this moment. He knew that in 20 years, they would look back and remember this day with pride and say, "Wow, we were there." It was a moment that would forever be a part of Bundesliga history, and Alonso was grateful to have been a part of it.
