Bayer Leverkusen clinched finally Bundesliga success after multiple failed previous attempts with a 5-0 win against Werder Bremen on Sunday.

Stefan Kießling, Michael Ballack, Peter Bosz, Jupp Heynckes and Rudi Völler. Those are only a small number of the players and managers who have all failed to win the elusive Meisterschale with Bayer Leverkusen.

This title is the very first title in the history of the entire club and marks (potentially) the start of a dynasty with Xabi Alonso staying for at least one attempt of retaining the Bundesliga trophy.

Now, under Xabi Alonso (and with an unassailable sixteen point lead over second place Bayern Munich) Bayer Leverkusen have finally confirmed the title thanks to goals from Victor Boniface, Granit Xhaka and a second half substitute hat-trick from starboy Florian Wirtz.

If they were to win this title, the game in which they would win it had to end in style. And, true to Bayer Leverkusen's flashy and classy performances this season, they clinched the title in style.

Never looking like winning the game, Werder Bremen were outclassed but also played off the park against one of Europe's elite.
