Xabi Alonso celebrates historic Bundesliga win with Bayer Leverkusen

Xabi Alonso may have turned down the chance to take over at Liverpool this summer, but he is still an Anfield icon — so, we have to congratulate him on leading Bayer Leverkusen to the first Bundesliga title in their history.

Bayer did that in style, battering Werder Bremen 5-0, with Florian Wirtz scoring a hat-trick.

With five games to go in the Bundesliga season, Bayer have secured a 16-point lead over Bayern Munich, meaning that their lead is now unassailable.

Moreover, there's still a chance Alonso's side will go through the season unbeaten, and not just in the Bundesliga. They have already qualified for the German Cup final and defeated West Ham in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final.
