The match saw an exhilarating display of skill and dominance, with Victor Boniface opening the scoring from the penalty spot in the 25th minute. Granit Xhaka extended the lead with a goal in the 60th minute, setting the stage for star player Florian Wirtz to shine with a sensational hat trick in the final 22 minutes of the game.

The triumph holds special significance for Bayer Leverkusen, a club that had long been haunted by the moniker "Neverkusen" due to their history of near misses and second-place finishes. Notably, the club famously fell short of claiming the Bundesliga title in the 2001-02 season, narrowly losing out to Bayern Munich in the closing stages.

With this historic victory, Bayer Leverkusen not only shatter the stigma of "Neverkusen" but also add a prestigious domestic league title to their trophy cabinet. Prior to this triumph, the club's senior honors were limited to the 1988 UEFA Cup and the 1993 German Cup.

Looking ahead, manager Xabi Alonso and his formidable team are poised to add further accolades to their collection. With a strong chance of victory in May's cup final against second-tier Kaiserslautern and promising prospects in the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen stands as formidable contenders on both domestic and continental fronts.

As the club basks in the glory of their historic achievement, fans and pundits alike eagerly anticipate what the future holds for Bayer Leverkusen as they continue to carve their legacy in German football history.
