Jubilant scenes erupted at the BayArena on Sunday as Bayer Leverkusen secured their first-ever Bundesliga title with a dominant 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen. The triumph marks a historic moment for the club, finally ending Bayern Munich’s 11-year reign at the summit of German football.
At the heart of Leverkusen’s success lies the red-hot form of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface. The 23-year-old opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 25th minute, sending a composed finish past Werder Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer. Boniface’s goal set the tone for a dominant Leverkusen display, with further strikes from Granit Xhaka and a Florian Wirtz hat-trick sealing a resounding victory.
Boniface’s contributions extend far beyond today’s match. He has been a revelation throughout the season, amassing an impressive 11 goals and 8 assists in the league alone. His link-up play and clinical finishing have been instrumental in Leverkusen’s attacking prowess.
Manager Xabi Alonso, visibly emotional after the final whistle, praised Boniface’s impact: “Victor has been phenomenal this season. His pace, power, and finishing ability have been crucial in our title charge. He’s a true leader on and off the pitch, and I have no doubt he has a bright future ahead of him.”
