The Bayer Leverkusen players won the German championship for the first time in the club’s 120-year history, and at the end there was an incredible celebration at the BayArena.
On Sunday, Leverkusen had the opportunity to defeat Werder and win the title in the Bundesliga, and that happened after an impressive performance by the Apothecary and a 5:0 triumph. But the scenes that followed after the last goal, it seems we didn’t see.
Namely, Leverkusen fans did not wait for the end of the game. On the borderline between the 89th and 90th minutes, Florian Wirtz scored for 5:0, and the impatient fans did not wait for the referee’s final whistle, but all rushed onto the field.
Referee Harm Osmers did not want to return the fans to their seats, so he decided to play the end of the game even before the end of the 90th minute.
Then the rest of the fans also ran into the field, and everyone tried to get to the players and take away a piece of clothing that they will keep for the rest of their lives, and which marks the moment when they won the championship title for the first time in history.
The fans cut off a piece of the goal net or grass from the BayArena stadium and took it home. They will celebrate late into the night in a city popular for the pharmaceutical industry, but also for persistent fans who have been waiting for the title for 120 years.
The team led by Xabi Alonso managed to end the incredible dominance of Bayern, which lasted for 11 years, as the Bavarians tied the title in the Bundesliga and showed other German clubs that it is not impossible to fight with the always powerful Bayern, Klix.ba reports.
