The team, averaging just under 29 years old, finally broke their losing streak since the start of the year.
At the BayArena, the loudest cheer was for a result from another match. Bayern Munich’s surprising home loss to Augsburg, their first league defeat of the season, did not impact the title race, as any hopes of that faded earlier, not just for Bayer Leverkusen. However, the unexpected result ensured that Xabi Alonso’s 2024 double winners remain the only unbeaten Bundesliga champions.
“You’re welcome,” Augsburg’s English language X account tweeted, acknowledging Leverkusen’s gratitude for maintaining their record. Leverkusen needed the boost, especially after halting their losing streak with a narrow victory over Werder Bremen, following four defeats in their previous six Bundesliga games. The win was minimal, reflecting the scoreline, as they overcame equally out-of-form opponents—Bremen had not won since 7 November, nine games prior. “We are very relieved,” admitted Kasper Hjulmand with commendable honesty.
