Bayer Leverkusen are the new German champions. The international press especially celebrates coach Xabi Alonso.
We have summarized the reactions.. Bayer 04 secured the first championship title in the club's history with an impressive 5-0 win over Werder Bremen. The scenario that Munich didn't become German champions last happened in 2012. Back then, the champions were Borussia Dortmund. Incredibly,Xabi Alonso’s men ended Bayern Munich's 12-year grip on the crown without losing a single game in the entire season. In the Europa League they are close to reaching the semi-finals after a 2-0. win in the quarter-final first leg against West Ham United. They face 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the final of the DFB Cup and are the big favorites there. The club has freed the yoke of FC Bayern from the crippling superiority of an FCB that had recently won the title eleven times in a row. The Bundesliga has rarely seen a better champion.
