Bayer Leverkusen have achieved what seemed impossible and they are the first team to finish undefeated in a season in the history of the Bundesliga. The magical ending came this Saturday thanks to a 2-1 victory against Augsburg.
The numbers of Bayer Leverkusen are impressive with 28 victories and only six draws to end the reign of Bayern Munich in Germany that lasted more than a decade.
Leverkusen finished their campaign with a remarkable 17-point lead over second place Stuttgart and still have a chance to win two other tournaments: the Europa League and the DFB Pokal.
This is the first championship in history for a club founded in 1904. Therefore, the celebrations at BayArena were spectacular.
The moment we became champions! 🥹🖤❤️ #DeutscherMeisterSVB #Winnerkusen
