Okegoal.com - Bayer Leverkusen has secured the 2023/2024 German championship title. This certainty was achieved after Leverkusen scored a goal in the final score of 5-0 against Werder Bremen.
Victor Boniface's penalty goal in the first half paved the way for Leverkusen to win when they hosted Bremen at the BayArena on Sunday evening (April 14, 2024). Granit Xhaka's goals and substitute Florian Wirtz's hat trick underlined the home team's dominance.
With this victory, the Werkself have collected 79 points and are 16 points ahead of their closest rival Bayern Munich. Since there are only five games left in the competition with a maximum of 15 points, it will not be possible for Bayern to catch up with Leverkusen's points total.
This success is historic for Bayer Leverkusen as it is the first Bundesliga title in the club's history. Leverkusen previously finished as runner-up five times in 1996/97, 1998/99, 1999/2000, 2001/02 and 2010/11.
In addition, Leverkusen also helped break FC Bayern Munich's dominance in this competition. As is well known, Bayern's hegemony lasted for eleven consecutive seasons, that is, since 2012/13.
After securing the Bundesliga title, Bayer Leverkusen still has the chance for even greater success in the 2023/24 season. Leverkusen has reached the DFB Cup final and is already one foot into the Europa League semi-finals after a 2-0 win in the quarter-final first leg against West Ham.
