Traditionally, winning a trophy in Germany was accompanied by countless amounts of beer. The feast continued at the post-match press conference and in the locker room, where the newly crowned champions poured this drink on each other, including Alonso, amid loud screams.

Note that Bayer interrupted the hegemony of Bayern, which was 11 times in a row became German champion. Before this, the last time the Munich giants were left without a Bundesliga title was back in the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons, when Borussia Dortmund triumphed under Jurgen Klopp.

It’s interesting that “pharmacists” continue to go undefeated in the current Bundesliga – Alonso's team won 25 matches and tied 4. In addition, Leverkusen reached the final of the German Cup and the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
