Bayern Leverkusen clinched their inaugural Bundesliga title in stunning fashion, demolishing Werder Bremen 5-0 at the BayArena with five games remaining, fueled by electrifying second-half goals from Florian Wirtz and Granit Xhaka.
Manager Xabi Alonso, mindful of their upcoming Europa League clash with West Ham United, opted to keep Jeremie Frimpong and Wirtz on the bench.
However, his squad delivered a commanding performance, securing their historic triumph in German football. Victor Boniface broke the deadlock with a penalty in the 25th minute, setting the tone for Leverkusen’s dominance.
Throughout the match, Ole Werner’s Werder Bremen never threatened the hosts, who extended their lead with Xhaka’s strike in the 60th minute.
Wirtz, injected into the game at halftime, put the finishing touches on the emphatic victory with a thunderous right-footed strike from outside the penalty area.
He added two more goals in the final minutes, completing his first senior hat-trick and sealing a monumental achievement for Alonso’s squad.
The sight of two long-range goals finding the net epitomized the historic occasion. Xhaka’s clinical finish, orchestrated by Boniface’s precise pass, and Wirtz’s explosive contributions showcased Leverkusen’s dominance on their journey to the title.
Wirtz’s emergence as a world-class midfielder has been a highlight in Leverkusen’s unforgettable season.
