In the early morning of April 15, Beijing time, the 29th round of the Bundesliga came to an end, and Bayer Leverkusen swept the visiting Bremen 5:0 at home and won the Bundesliga championship five rounds in advance.
As a veteran powerhouse in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen's competitiveness in the Bundesliga is not bad, but in the 120 years since the establishment of the team, they have only won one German Cup and UEFA Cup championship; fans are more familiar with the 01-02 season, Leverkusen in the three-line championship situation, and finally reaped the embarrassing Sanya King season; at that time, the core Ballack was regarded as synonymous with "tragedy". In addition, in the 1996-97, 1998-99, 1999-2000 and 2001-02 seasons, Bayer Leverkusen only finished runners-up in the Bundesliga.
However, all that changed with the arrival of Alonso, who took over midway through last season, when Leverkusen was still teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, and after Rongo took over, Bayer Leverkusen changed their decline, reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League and finishing the season as sixth in the Bundesliga. After receiving the support of the top management last summer, Alonso led the team directly to play a reborn result, counting this game, Bayer Leverkusen won 43 games unbeaten, directly creating a new unbeaten record in the top five leagues.
After the victory over Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga five games ahead of schedule, becoming the 13th team to win the league title, ending a 120-year wait and ending a 31-year title drought. It also ended Bayern's 11-game winning streak in the Bundesliga. In addition, the league is unbeaten in 29 games, and it also surpassed Bayern Munich to set a new record for the longest start in the Bundesliga, and Alonso has set five new records.
However, this may only be the beginning of the season for Bayer Leverkusen, who won 2-0 against New Ham in the first leg of the Europa League round of eight and reached the final of the German Cup. In addition, if Bayer Leverkusen can win the treble undefeated, then their unbeaten record will increase to 52 games, and it is not impossible to break AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record next season. Alonso has confirmed his departure early next season, and it is indeed worth looking forward to what heroic performance Bayer Leverkusen can perform again next season!
