Bayer Leverkusen are on the brink of a new era of success, with their eyes set on their first Bundesliga title in decades.

Despite past near-misses and the nickname ‘Neverkusen’, the team under Xabi Alonso’s management are determined to rewrite their history and make a landmark in German football.

Their last silverware victory was in 1993 when they won the German Cup. Now, Leverkusen is about to break the yoke as they remain unbeaten in all three competitions this season, having progressed to the Europa League quarterfinals against West Ham United and reaching the German Cup final.

Bayer Leverkusen have broken numerous domestic records as they have surged 16 points clear at the top of the standings with just six matches left in the season.

Following Stuttgart’s victory over Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich’s shock defeat to Heidenheim, Leverkusen now have a commanding lead in the Bundesliga.

With a 1-0 win against Union Berlin last weekend, Xabi Alonso’s team are on the brink of being crowned champions without needing to play another match.

Therefore, a victory for Leverkusen in their upcoming match against Werder Bremen on Sunday could secure the title, regardless of Bayern Munich’s result against Cologne on Saturday. It would also put an end to Bayern’s 11-year dominance in the league.
