Bayer Leverkusen made history by clinching their first-ever Bundesliga title with a dominant 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen. After years of near misses and disappointments, the moment finally arrived for Leverkusen fans who flooded the stadium in celebration. 

The win marked a remarkable achievement for a team with a modest budget and a lack of household names, owned by a pharmaceutical giant. With 25 wins and 4 draws in 29 matches, Leverkusen not only dethroned Bayern Munich but also put themselves in contention to break the all-time Bundesliga points record.

 Despite the jubilation, there was a sense of disbelief among fans, who had endured decades of dashed hopes. As they celebrated in the sunshine, memories of past stars like Son Heung-Min and Michael Ballack adorned replica shirts, serving as a reminder of the club's journey to this historic moment.
