The stats behind Leverkusen's unbeaten title run

Xabi Alonso's side wrapped up the title with five games to spare after a crushing 5-0 win over Werder Bremen in front of their jubilant supporters.

It is all change now, with Leverkusen securing the title after remaining unbeaten all season despite juggling Europa League and German Cup commitments. In 43 competitive matches this season, Leverkusen have won 38 times and drawn five, scoring 123 times and conceding just 31.Sunday's win over Werder Bremen saw Leverkusen set a new record for longest unbeaten starts to a season in the Bundesliga.

They ended up with nothing after finishing one point in the league behind champions Borussia Dortmund, lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final and were beaten 4-2 by Schalke in the German Cup final."That pain from 2002 really sits deep," added Keppel. "We were so close to lifting a Treble and then to not win any trophies was really painful."

Leverkusen fans celebrate on the pitch after their team beat Werder Bremen 5-0 to win the Bundesliga for the first time Wirtz is the first player to score a Bundesliga hat-trick after coming off the bench since Erling Haaland for Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
