BayArena stadium “fell” on the day Leverkusen won the first national championship in history.

On the evening of April 14, a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen helped Bayer Leverkusen become the 2023/24 Bundesliga champion 5 rounds early.

In the last minutes, every time Leverkusen scored, fans flooded the field to celebrate. The referee, players and stadium security team had to work very hard to stabilize the situation so the match could start again.

BayArena Stadium officially “fell” after the referee’s final whistle. Tens of thousands of fans poured onto the field from the stands to hug each other to celebrate the first national championship in the club’s 120-year history.

“Die Werkself” fans have experienced a 31-year thirst for the title.

Many people burst into tears right on the field. Not only winning the championship, Leverkusen also has the opportunity to become the first team in Bundesliga history to win the championship with an undefeated record.

Coach Xabi Alonso is the person responsible for bringing Leverkusen to a historic milestone. “Winning the Bundesliga for the first time in 120 years is really special. I am very proud of the players,” the Spanish coach shared.

Leverkusen can also win a treble this season, having reached the National Cup final and holding a big advantage in the Europa League quarter-finals.

After many “beer baths” as a player with Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso enjoyed the joy of winning the Bundesliga championship for the first time as a coach.

Xabi Alonso confirmed that he will stay at Leverkusen next season, despite being contacted by Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
