Bayer Leverkusen, for the first time in its history, is the Bundesliga champion. Confirming that status with five games to go in the league, Xabi Alonso’s side broke Bayern Munich’s hegemony.

It still failed to lift the Premier League trophy. That indicates how difficult the Premier League is, and how impressive Arsenal’s performance was in its Invincible season.
