Bayer Leverkusen have achieved what seemed unattainable. After 119 years of history, the club has won its first Bundesliga with an impressive record of 29 unbeaten matches, including 25 victories.

Xabi Alonso has done an extraordinary job in his first major opportunity as a coach. In addition to their unstoppable run in Germany, the team also aims to lift the DFB Pokal and the Europa League, all without losing a single match.

Furthermore, Bayer Leverkusen achieved something very unusual for any team in Germany: halting a streak of 11 consecutive titles from a powerhouse like Bayern Munich, who have fallen behind by 16 points.
