Bayer Leverkusen made history with a resounding 5-0 win over Werder Bremen, securing their first-ever Bundesliga title.
The emphatic win marked the end of Bayern Munich’s 11-year reign at the top.
The game started nervously for Leverkusen, but they quickly picked control, with Jonas Hofmann winning a penalty after a foul by Julian Malatini.
Victor Boniface, making his first start since January, confidently converted the spot-kick to give Leverkusen the lead.
Despite a few half-chances from Bremen, Leverkusen’s defence remained unshaken, with Amine Adli unlucky not to extend the lead as his effort struck the crossbar.
The second half saw Leverkusen turn on the style, particularly with the introduction of Florian Wirtz.
Granit Xhaka doubled the lead with a stunning long-range strike, before Wirtz stole the show with a sensational solo effort to make it 3-0.
Wirtz, 20, continued to dazzle, adding a fourth goal in the 83rd minute, nearly prompting a pitch invasion.
Wirtz then completed his hat-trick with the final kick of the game, capping off a memorable night for Leverkusen.
The victory is the icing on Leverkusen’s season-long dominance, bringing their first Bundesliga title in their 119-year history.
