Bayer Leverkusen’s Focus Shifts to Pursuit of Further Trophies after Historic Bundesliga Victory

Bayer Leverkusen‘s remarkable journey to their inaugural Bundesliga title, achieved without a single defeat, warrants reflection, but coach Xabi Alonso emphasized that there is little time for celebration as they set their sights on additional silverware in their quest for a treble.

Previously labeled ‘Neverkusen’ due to their longstanding drought in major titles, Leverkusen defied expectations by becoming the first Bundesliga team to navigate an entire season undefeated, clinching the historic achievement with a 2-1 triumph over Augsburg in their season finale.

In acknowledgment of their feat, the club humorously dubbed themselves ‘Bayer 04 Neverlusen’ on their social media platform, marking a significant shift from past disappointments.

Alonso, speaking in a press conference, hailed the season as exceptional, not only within Germany but across Europe. He stressed the importance of Leverkusen’s newfound place in football history and expressed pride in the team’s performance, highlighting their accumulation of 90 points and unblemished record.

While basking in the glory of their first Bundesliga triumph, Alonso acknowledged that proper recognition of the achievement would require time. However, with two more crucial fixtures on the horizon, Leverkusen must swiftly shift their focus to the challenges ahead.

The team’s unbeaten streak across all competitions this season now stands at an impressive 51 matches, setting the stage for a potential historic treble. Leverkusen is poised to face Atalanta in the Europa League final on Wednesday before locking horns with Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final on May 25.

Alonso emphasized the urgency of the upcoming fixtures, noting the unique opportunity they present. Despite the whirlwind of activity, he underscored the significance of the Bundesliga title win, asserting that the team’s legacy is now firmly etched in the annals of German football history.

As Leverkusen’s journey continues, Alonso and his squad remain steadfast in their pursuit of further success, driven by the desire to cement their status as champions on multiple fronts.
