    Leverkusen truly won it. Even if Bayern had played a great season, it would have come down to the last few matches. They are deserving champions.

    ESPN FC just can't help themselves with their hate agenda against the Bundesliga. Somehow trying to frame this all in a negative way now. In another video they said Leverkusen would be supported so much by the company Bayer that they have the company in their name (which is not true at all). Even your community posts been spouting lowkey negativity with backhanded compliments such as Wirtz allegedly being the ONLY GERMAN player in 30 years to have 15/15 G/A in a single season - which is far from true. Muller alone achieved this feat several times in the 2010s and even during his second prime in one of his 2020s seasons. And others did as well.

      huh? you need to check ur facts Mister. The 50+1 rule in the Bundesliga which prohibites big companies, investors etc. to own more than 50% of the club does not apply for Bayer 04 nor VFL Wolfsburg (Volkswagen) !! The cash from that pharma giant is nothing to be neglected while other clubs struggle with their financials. Thats y they're not really liked in Germany to say the least. Same goes for SAP/Hoffenheim & Red Bull Scheizig!

    Better fight?? Leverkusen had literally have to be unbeaten. Bayern themselves only lost 5 games thus far and 3 of those been their last 3 games. The Bundesliga title race was decided in those last 3 games. It hasn't been easy for Leverkusen at all. What a way to downplay such a feat of being unbeaten until now. Leverkusen did have many many close and tight games in their Bundesliga campaign that could have gone either way but in the end they always came out on top.
