The Nation Newspaper Unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen win maiden Bundesliga title
The team made sure of their first trophy in 31 years with five matches left in the season, snapping Bayern Munich’s 11-year stranglehold on the Bundesliga.
Coach Xabi Alonso took over a struggling Leverkusen side in October 2022 with the team second-bottom after eight Bundesliga games, having their worst start to a season since 1979. With all eyes on the World Cup in Qatar, club bosses in Leverkusen sat down with Alonso to map out their transfer plans and put them into action early.
Leverkusen took the season by storm from the start, racking up 11 wins in their first 12 league matches, with Boniface seemingly scoring at will with 10 goals and seven assists until his injury in January while on international duty.
