Xabi Allonso managed Bundesliga team, Bayern Leverkusen, have won their first ever league title as German champions.
Bayer Leverkusen secured the remarkable Bundesliga title after beating Werder Bremen in a 5-0 victory that extended the newly crowned German champions’ unbeaten run to 43 games.
Today’s victory gives them an unassailable 16-point lead at the top of the table and ends Bayern Munich’s push for a 12th successive league triumph.
One of the most impressive things about Leverkusen’s season has been the performances from players previously considered largely unremarkable.

With the Nigerian forward Boniface leading the attack and the young German midfielder Wirtz and Xhaka orchestrating the midfield, the team has thrived. Álex Grimaldo, a veteran Spanish defender who arrived on a free transfer last summer from Benfica, has been a revelation at left-back, while the former Celtic defender Jeremie Frimpong has chipped in with goals from the opposite side.
Speaking after ending that long wait for a league title win, Xabi Allonso said: “This is a very special moment for the club. Winning the Bundesliga for the first time in 120 years is something very special. The players are top. I am very proud of everyone. It is an honour for me to work here.”
