Bayer Leverkusen writes Bundesliga history, joins elusive list

Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen became the first team to go unbeaten in the history of the Bundesliga after beating Augsburg 2-1 in their final league game of the season on Saturday at the Bay Arena.

Leverkusen finished on the top position in Bundesliga with 90 points which included 28 wins and six draws. They also ended Bayern Munich’s dominance in the league by becoming the first team other than the Bavarians to win the title since 2012.

Alonso’s side is also chasing the treble, they are in the final of the UEFA Europa League where they will face Atlanta on May 22 and after that, they will turn their focus to the German Cup final against Kaiserslautern on May 25.
