Leverkusen have 1 more game to get the perfect record of the Bundesliga champion without losing. That gives them another chance to get 3 champions this season. DFB Pokal and Europa League. A perfect achievement for Xabi Alonso. Today they got a 5-goal win against Bochum. They dominated the game so much, even Bochum didn't have a shot on goal. Interestingly I want to wait for Xabi's action next season, because many teams cannot secure the championship in the next season. Because there will probably be a lot of players who leave because of the outstanding performances.
There is a bigger picture here at the same time. There are only 3 games left for Leverkusen to finish the whole season without loss and with three titles as well.
This is really going to be a difficult record to be broken for other managers, maybe even for Xabi Alonso himself.
Leverkusen didn't have any Bundesliga title before. Xabi Alonso didn't just make do with making them add a Bundesliga trophy to their museum finally. He is about to win more titles together with that. I assume there weren't many people who expected him to be this successful when he first arrived. In the end it was his first experience.
Xabi succeeded in exceeding many people expectations, of course many people doubted his quality when he first arrived, also because Leverkusen is not a team that has a squad depth like Bayern. Slowly but surely, Xabi managed to lift the club from its downturn and brought him to finish in 6th place in the standings in his first season. This season, Leverkusen seems to be surrounded by luck, where they have never been defeated, and Xabi is the key figure behind it all.
Now there are only three matches remaining, two of which will give Leverkusen additional trophies, where Xabi also has the potential to become the most legendary coach ever. Either way, if Xabi succeeds in winning the Europa League and DFB Pokal trophies, he will forever be remembered by fans, his name will be immortalized in the club history because he succeeded in leaving a very valuable legacy. Not only that, the way they won the three trophies was also phenomenal.
Leverkusen history will be determined this month, they will play three important matches in three different competitions, where if they really win the trophy, the club will have to make a special statue for Xabi. We'll see to what extent Leverkusen will continue to refuse defeat, and whether they are able to achieve the treble winner.
