Under coach Xavi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen recently won the German Bundesliga for the first time in the club's history. In the process, the club changed its image. "Leverkujan" is no longer "Neverkujan". Leverkusen, who lost three times in the final of the German Cup, had the specialty of winning the second place in the league.


So in German, the team was called 'Vijkusen', which literally means 'Neverkusen'. Its essence is like always being second or never winning anything. Leverkusen have won two major titles so far. That too had not won anything since 1993. So what many thought was that Leverkusen would not really be able to win anything.

But, Xavi thought otherwise. He made Leverkusen the league champion during his first full season in charge of the club. Now he has the possibility of three titles in front of him. That is the title of 'Treble'. The team travel to London on Thursday to play the second leg of the Europa League against West Ham. The team won the first leg 2-0 at home. Alonso changed 7 players from the match against West Ham and played against Werder Bremen in the German league on Sunday. Again Leverkusen are unbeaten this season.

In the 1999–2000 season, Leverkusen needed a point in the last game against Unterhaching to win the league title. Leverkusen lost 2-0 against this club, which is now in the third division. One of the goals was a suicide by Michael Ballack. On the same day, Bayern Munich won the league title once again after defeating Werder Bremen. The

happened in 2002. With the last three games remaining in the league, Leverkusen were at the top with 5 points. The team also reached the finals of the German Cup and the European Champions League. However, at the end of the season, Leverkusen did not win anything. Now the director of the German national team, Rudi Voller, is very happy. He played and coached for Leverkusen. He thinks that Xavi has silenced all critics.

Völler has said, 'Now nobody will say Neverkuzan. Whenever I was told this, I got very angry. He also claims that the club will do better. This success of the club has led to the attention of both Liverpool and Bayern on coach Xavi. However, he wants to stay at Leverkusen next season. At the start of the league, Leverkusen's attendance reached 34,000. Now it has started to reach 54 thousand. While the player

Javi was equally successful. Wherever he went, he won all the titles there.

Xavi won league titles in Germany and Spain. He has also won the European Champions League for Liverpool and Real Madrid. Cup titles are more than that. He not only won two European titles for Spain, he also won the World Cup in between. He now says himself, "When I came to Leverkusen, I also knew it was called Neverkuzen." I'm very happy to have finally broken it, it's also a very proud achievement.' The location of the stadium is often referred to as Bismarck Street. Leverkusen's supporters chanted 'Xavi Alonso Street' in honor of their coach after winning the Bundesliga title on Sunday.
