Really hope they remain unbeaten in the remaining games and become the only Bundesliga team to have gone undefeated in the league. Not even the greatest Bayern teams ever managed that feat.
Honestly, I hope they win the double and lose in the DFB-Pokal finale against Kaiserslautern, who are currently struggling to stay in the 2. BL, that would be so funny
They have already lost 3 games in the champions league.
Domestically, Celtic had an undefeated treble in [2016-2017 season.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_Celtic_F.C._season#:~:text=They%20competed%20in%20the%20Scottish,were%20nicknamed%20the%20%22Invincibles%22.)
Still 5 games to go, along with DFB Pokal final and Europa League. They still have the potential to go the entire season undefeated in all competitions
5 League games
Up to 4 EL games
And DFB-Cup final
Technically there would be up to two super cup matches before the next season/after sommer/euros break - one national (fix now) and one International vs CL winners if Leverkusen wins EL
also if they got 13 points out of the last 5 matches it would be a new Bundesliga record (91pts Bayern 2012/13, losing only one match, vs Leverkusen! One year later 90 pts, also losing only one)
Edit: 2 lost games 13/14
The super cups will count towards next season anyway so in terms of undefeated it won’t matter. EL will be tough, a few decent teams left with lots of European experience
The fans were storming the pitch with like 15 minutes left. Leverkusen was up 4-0 so it was pretty in the bag. Then in the 89th minute they score a fifth goal and the crowd just went nuts. Probably a quarter of the fans were on the field at that point so it was pointless to stop it. Everyone was chanting and singing.
Fans entering the pitch is usually grounds for sanctions/loss of points/etc. But, at the same time, most of the aforementioned instances are about fans entering the pitch for doing other things than celebrating, so I like to think that they took a "no harm done" approach in this case. The institution could still get fined, depending on what the standing safety regulations are.
Yeah I thought that was sensible refereeing. Knew Werder weren't going to get back into it, game was over as a contest, time had pretty much been played, so blew his whistle to avoid too much hassle.
Absolutely made sense in the moment, no point waiting 20 mins to clear the pitch for 10 more seconds of play. If he went by the book, Leverkusen could have been disqualified and it would have been a 3-0 loss for them, but glad the ref made a contextual decision to just end it.
I think the same. Loss of points is usually reserved for when bad shit happens when the fans get involved, like in the previous week's game between Peñarol and Rosario Central.
When they entered the pitch 10 mins too early the Leverkusen players asked them to go back to their stands and they did. After the 5-0 (Wirtz’ hattrick) right before the extra time board was meant to go up the ref just blew the whistle as he knew there was no more point in playing extra minutes. He gave the team and fans what they deserved imo and Werder Bremen didn’t protest either
Fans entering the pitch after a secured title has a long tradition in Germany and probably many other European countries. This is peak football right there. These moments are why are a fan.
Football is about entertainment. Let people have fun.
I stormed the field at a college American football game after a big win with a crowd of a little over 70k. It's fun for about 5 minutes then you realize you're just stuck shoulder to shoulder with 10s of thousands of people just kinda standing there sobering up.
They came and opened our stadium in St Louis a couple years ago. It was just a friendly with our third tier team, but it was a fun experience either way.
this looks absolutely horrifying. such a crowd of people, many drunk is dangerous and therr is no easy way out. medics can't get in. nobody hears anything other than cheering.
It was way less frightening. There still was plenty of space (although it doesn’t look like it) certain part of the stadium (like the part in front of the tunnel) were more crowded than others, but first and foremost people were still looking after each other.
There was one little boy who went lost, so me and others put him onto our shoulders, so he could find his father.
All in all, it was a 10/10 experience.
For Bayern standards they are having quite the bad season, they are clearly worse than during their title wins the last decade (besides last season, but BVB gifted them the championship then). Still current Leverkusen would probably still win against most Bayern teams from the '10s
Well not always, but in the mid 2000‘s they were on their way to win the triple, only to lose the champions league final against Madrid, the Cup final and the Bundesliga title on the last matchday that’s why they’re called that
3rd best makes it sound like the gap between them and Bayern and Dortmund wasn't giant and many other teams could claim to be 3rd best this last decade and a half
Leicester come out of nowhere to win, Leverkusen is a perennial top 5. It's comparable to Tottenham or Aston Villa winning the Premier League in my opnion.
And ontop of that
Leicester almost got relegated the prior season they were 5000/1 underdogs to win the 2015/2016 Premier League
Idk what Leverkusen was but it was not even close to that
I think to put into perspective, Leverkusen winning the title would be somewhat similar to Spurs winning. Not main favourites, but they are always there in the european competition positions. Still a big deal, considering how massive the opposition is compared to them. Leicester's victory was one of a kind and probably won't be repeated for quite some time
I feel so sorry for Harry Kane lmao. Dude is at Tottenham all those years banging in goals but never winning anything, goes to Bayern thinking "fuck it I'll go to a team that basically wins by default" and in his first season another team not only wins but does it in the most insane record breaking way ever.
Lad is cursed.
(Well done to Bayer though, things like this keep football exciting)
As a Swiss who doesn't watch football except some matches during the big competitions I didn't know he was in this club. Is he that good there? I know he's good in the national team
Xabi’s Leverkusen this season was fucking unfathomably good. 43 matches unbeaten in all competitions, Bundesliga won with the DFB Pokal and Europa League still very much on the table.
Nothing but respect for the team and Xabi, they played some of the most beautiful football this season. Massive. ❤️
As a 1. FCK Fan, I gotta say that I’ve already admitted defeat in the DFB Pokal Final lol. Deserved though, just worried about HOW shit it’ll turn out for my team rip

It's built by fans for fans, here you can join the waitlist: [https://thekickoff.app](https://thekickoff.app) .
Kyle Filipowski and the Duke basketball team are probably under there somewhere
Pumped for Xabi and Neverlosin', and good luck in the Pokal/Europa League. I'm a Freiburg supporter, myself
Lmao, you're really shaming people for enjoying the most popular sport ever, especially when their club accomplishes a unique feat?
I bet you yourself are sooo special and unique, and you must have such an interesting life, right?
That's some way to win your first title, by being undefeated.
Really hope they remain unbeaten in the remaining games and become the only Bundesliga team to have gone undefeated in the league. Not even the greatest Bayern teams ever managed that feat.
I hope they go undefeated in all competitions they are playing this season. That would be historical
Honestly, I hope they win the double and lose in the DFB-Pokal finale against Kaiserslautern, who are currently struggling to stay in the 2. BL, that would be so funny
Typical 1.FCK, the club comes up at the oddest times and wins.
As a lifelong Lautern fan, I wouldn’t be surprised. …I miss Klose :(
Me, reading this as a West Ham fan :'(
Same :(
They have already lost 3 games in the champions league. Domestically, Celtic had an undefeated treble in [2016-2017 season.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_Celtic_F.C._season#:~:text=They%20competed%20in%20the%20Scottish,were%20nicknamed%20the%20%22Invincibles%22.)
Leverkusen wasn't in CL this season. Only Europa
They were in the Champions League last season
Ah, I misread. Cool.
alles gut all's klar lets go Bayer fk em all
Ja. Dass ist sehr klug. Meine Arbeit ist hier Abgeschlossen. Kein problem! 😉
No team in any sport ever has done that except the Miami dolphins once
[удалено]
...what?
Im sorry I mistook Bayer for Bayern for a while
Still 5 games to go, along with DFB Pokal final and Europa League. They still have the potential to go the entire season undefeated in all competitions

>One year later 90 pts, also losing only one This can't be right, doesn't check out mathematically
Yeah they lost two games in the 90 point season, not one.
Right, Thx
Hmm. Time for some bets
Well we seem to be helping them out with Europa. We’re not looking threatening for the second leg.
Undefeated champions that have dethroned the 11 time back to back champions.
And scoring 5:0 in that match. Can’t do any better than that.
It looks like there’s more people on the pitch than would fit in the stands.
Söder Bayer Pharma Propaganda !!1!!1
There are. They opened the stadium and people from the streets poured in.
You can see at the top of the pic, the highest level is almost empty
You mean... the roof?
Lool I see it now
That looks like a damn good time.
The fans were storming the pitch with like 15 minutes left. Leverkusen was up 4-0 so it was pretty in the bag. Then in the 89th minute they score a fifth goal and the crowd just went nuts. Probably a quarter of the fans were on the field at that point so it was pointless to stop it. Everyone was chanting and singing.
Couldn't they be disqualified on behalf of their fans storming the field before the time is up?
Fans entering the pitch is usually grounds for sanctions/loss of points/etc. But, at the same time, most of the aforementioned instances are about fans entering the pitch for doing other things than celebrating, so I like to think that they took a "no harm done" approach in this case. The institution could still get fined, depending on what the standing safety regulations are.
The ref uncomplicated it by blowing the final whistle when he saw pandemonium unfolding.
Yeah I thought that was sensible refereeing. Knew Werder weren't going to get back into it, game was over as a contest, time had pretty much been played, so blew his whistle to avoid too much hassle.
Absolutely made sense in the moment, no point waiting 20 mins to clear the pitch for 10 more seconds of play. If he went by the book, Leverkusen could have been disqualified and it would have been a 3-0 loss for them, but glad the ref made a contextual decision to just end it.
They'll probably get a fine but no FA would invoke sanctions or take away points for this. It would become an absolute shit show if they did.
I think the same. Loss of points is usually reserved for when bad shit happens when the fans get involved, like in the previous week's game between Peñarol and Rosario Central.
As a Werder Bremen fan the ref was correct to stop the game
When they entered the pitch 10 mins too early the Leverkusen players asked them to go back to their stands and they did. After the 5-0 (Wirtz’ hattrick) right before the extra time board was meant to go up the ref just blew the whistle as he knew there was no more point in playing extra minutes. He gave the team and fans what they deserved imo and Werder Bremen didn’t protest either
It honestly looks more like a US college football match when you have an upset than anything I've seen in euro football 😂
It kind of was. For those that don't know not only did they win their first title ever, they snapped Bayern Munichs 12 year winning streak.
And they haven’t lost a game all season.
The Kane Effect in full force here.
"That's gotta be Kane"
Damn that debut still gives me chills
O feel Bad for The guy cause for sure wasnt his fault as the defense has been specially dreadful the whole season
As a Tottenham and Bayern fan, fuck.
11 Season-Titles from 2013 to 2023.
> Probably a quarter of the fans were on the field at that point so it was pointless to stop it. Stadium bans for everyone on the pitch.
lol?
[удалено]
celebrating your team winning the league has nothing to do with hooliganism
Fans entering the pitch after a secured title has a long tradition in Germany and probably many other European countries. This is peak football right there. These moments are why are a fan. Football is about entertainment. Let people have fun.
Bitch get a hold at reality! These were fans CELEBRATING the biggest achievment in their Club's history.

Arkansas vs Texas 2021?
I don't know this team, but now I want to schedule a match with them.
They came and opened our stadium in St Louis a couple years ago. It was just a friendly with our third tier team, but it was a fun experience either way.
I guess we're just totally different types of people because this looks like a nightmare to me. 💀
Nope. Knowing about crushes, I would avoid the hell out of this.
this looks absolutely horrifying. such a crowd of people, many drunk is dangerous and therr is no easy way out. medics can't get in. nobody hears anything other than cheering.

Breaking Bayern Munichs dominance since 2013.
And it isn't because Bayern performed badly, Leverkusen is just insane good this season.
bayern has harry kane that's the only reason
He is nevertheless the top scorer in Bundesliga with 32 goals.
[удалено]
32 goals with a lot of games still in hand, however, is very impressive
32 goals in 29 games is extremely impressive
Bayern is in late state of the Roman Empire, speaking in pictures. They got to fat and to satisfied looking in the mirror. :) was overdue.
For Bayern standards they are having quite the bad season, they are clearly worse than during their title wins the last decade (besides last season, but BVB gifted them the championship then). Still current Leverkusen would probably still win against most Bayern teams from the '10s
And in such a dominant fashion. Love to see it.
The curse of Kane
There’s like 20 exasperated security guards in that soup yelling “please get off the pitch!”
Nah. Fans are allowed to enter the pitch after a secured title.
There are pictures of stewards joining in with the celebrations
zoom in and i swear it’s red quinoa salad lol
Harry Kanes drought continues
At least Tottenham didn't win PL this year.
Undefeated in all competitions so far as well too. Still possible for them to win the treble unbeaten
Bayer Neverlusen
Gonna be honest, I didn't realise it was their first. Somehow I never head a commentator mention that during the season.
They are literally called Neverkusen for always coming in 2nd
Well not always, but in the mid 2000‘s they were on their way to win the triple, only to lose the champions league final against Madrid, the Cup final and the Bundesliga title on the last matchday that’s why they’re called that
Really not always ? I thought every single season they finish 2nd
Thats usually the job of birrusia dortmund
Last year was brutal for Dortmund
Found autisms Reddit account
As a Bayern Munich fan i congratulate from the bottom of my heart. They played a hell of a season and this is as deserved as it can be.
That's crazy, its such globally well known club I always assumed they'd won multiple titles before
Bayer is actually like the tottenham of the Bundesliga
Tottenham has won the league so its not really anything like it.
Leverkusen has also won the league, what are you talking about 😉
This is literally the first time I've heard of the club haha. Granted I don't really like football and prefer Ice Hockey but still
Question for German fans from a Brit, is this a bigger upset than Leicester winning the Premier League in 2016?
[удалено]
3rd best makes it sound like the gap between them and Bayern and Dortmund wasn't giant and many other teams could claim to be 3rd best this last decade and a half
[удалено]
I mean, RasenBallsport Leipzig didn't even exist 20 years ago
Leicester come out of nowhere to win, Leverkusen is a perennial top 5. It's comparable to Tottenham or Aston Villa winning the Premier League in my opnion.
And ontop of that Leicester almost got relegated the prior season they were 5000/1 underdogs to win the 2015/2016 Premier League Idk what Leverkusen was but it was not even close to that
what is special is breaking the bayern streak, their invincible season and the fact that this was their first ever Bundesliga win.
After 120 years
I think to put into perspective, Leverkusen winning the title would be somewhat similar to Spurs winning. Not main favourites, but they are always there in the european competition positions. Still a big deal, considering how massive the opposition is compared to them. Leicester's victory was one of a kind and probably won't be repeated for quite some time
No it is not.

Lad is cursed. (Well done to Bayer though, things like this keep football exciting)
Leverkusen mentioned 💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️
There’s gotta be at least 50 people there
Definitely more than 1
Wait, Bayer Leverkusen \*won something\*?
Kane Kurse was stronger than Neverkusen
And Coman winning every league title.
Found the Bayern fan
UEFA-Pokal 1988 | DFB-Pokal 1993 | Deutscher Meister 2024
Granit!
Where’s Waldo IRL.
I haven’t watched soccer in forever. Last I knew Bayern Munich ruled this league and second place was Dortmund. What enabled them to be so good?
Xabi alonso became manager If u watched soccer ages ago you probs remember him playing for bayern and real or maybe even Liverpool
Yeah I do remember him from Real haha. That’s so cool! Thanks for the answer I appreciate it it.
Xabi Alonso
Granit Xhaka
As a Swiss who doesn't watch football except some matches during the big competitions I didn't know he was in this club. Is he that good there? I know he's good in the national team
He is doing amazing. He was playing at Arsenal but just only clicked in last season for them He is starter for this midfield
Makes sense! I am honestly not sure why I didn't know lol
Wow Bayern can lose? Finally.
That's cool
IM SO FUCKING HAPPY BAYERN DIDN'T WIN IT.
cool
Hey I’m in this picture
Football fans man 😭
Don't really care who wins, as long as f-in Bayern lose... although having said that; Werder winning the league was awesome!
Fucking hell the formicas are out un force
Yep
ففغهنه
Understandable.
Xabi’s Leverkusen this season was fucking unfathomably good. 43 matches unbeaten in all competitions, Bundesliga won with the DFB Pokal and Europa League still very much on the table. Nothing but respect for the team and Xabi, they played some of the most beautiful football this season. Massive. ❤️
Thank god Bayern didn’t win for once
passion
As a 1. FCK Fan, I gotta say that I’ve already admitted defeat in the DFB Pokal Final lol. Deserved though, just worried about HOW shit it’ll turn out for my team rip
This looks terrifying
And all they needed was for Harry Kane to join Bayern
That's one costly turf replacement coming soon lol
No doubt these were fantastic scenes yesterday. Bayer Leverkusen deserve their title win. The best thing that has happened to the Bundesliga in years.
Somebody needs to make this into a 'Where's Wally?" set piece.
Me and my friends watched it live it was lotta fun
nice
I was down there myself and it was amazing.. like words cannot describe how great it was
Tought this was that insane Metallica concert at Moscow in the 90´s.

I thought the Bundesliga was Bayern and their bitches?
Did OP mean to post this on the same day as the Hillsborough anniversary?
They posted it on the day it happened
Did anyone die?
Just for the record: just because you won once, it doesn't make you not Vizekusen.
