Bayer Leverkusen's Unbeaten Journey: A Historic Bundesliga Triumph

By -

Bayer Leverkusen completed their unbeaten Bundesliga campaign by defeating Augsburg 2-1 on Saturday, capping off a season of dominance and joy for Xabi Alonso's men.

With the title secured weeks earlier, the final league match was a celebration for the home fans, and Leverkusen did not disappoint. Victor Boniface opened the scoring within 12 minutes, followed by a second goal from Robert Andrich just 15 minutes later.

Augsburg showed signs of a comeback in the second half when Mert Komur scored in the 62nd minute. However, Leverkusen held firm to secure their historic achievement. The players celebrated on the pitch, with Alonso embracing his coaching staff, before lifting the Bundesliga trophy in front of a capacity crowd.

This title marks a significant milestone for Leverkusen, ending their 120-year wait for a league championship. They finished the season with 90 points from 34 matches, boasting 28 wins and six draws. For comparison, Arsenal's legendary "Invincibles" finished with 26 wins and 12 draws from 38 matches in the 2003-04 Premier League season.

Leverkusen's impressive statistics included scoring 89 goals and conceding just 24, underscoring their dominance. They finished 17 points ahead of second-placed Stuttgart, who overtook Bayern Munich on the final day. With Harry Kane absent due to a back injury, Bayern squandered a two-goal lead to lose 4-2, while Stuttgart's 4-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach secured their runner-up spot.

Leverkusen's success extends beyond the Bundesliga. They are on course for an unprecedented treble, remaining unbeaten in all competitions. Alonso's team has not lost in their last 51 matches and will face Serie A's Atalanta in the Europa League final on Wednesday night, followed by a German Cup final clash with Kaiserslautern next Saturday.

Leverkusen's only previous European triumph came in 1987-88 when they won the UEFA Cup, now the Europa League. They have also lifted the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) once in 1993 and have finished runners-up three times since.

This season has cemented Bayer Leverkusen's place in history, with an unbeaten campaign that fans will remember for generations.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."
