Xabi Alonso has won a league title in his first full season as a head coach. With Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga, no less.
As is tradition in Germany, the head coach was covered in beer. Right after, the Spaniard indulged himself with a bottle and an extra large tankard of cerveza.
Bayer have won the Bundesliga with five games to go, an unprecedented achievement for any club in Germany not named Bayern Munich.
Xabi Alonso's men still maintain the 16-point lead over Thomas Tuchel's. Ever since Bayer smashed Bayern earlier in February, the gap has only been widening.
Bayer are still in contention for a treble. They are massive favourites in the German Cup final as they face Kaiserslautern, who are nearly bottom in Bundesliga 2. In the Europa League, Bayer have made a big step towards the semifinal, where they will face either AC Milan or Roma.
Oh, they're one game away from setting an all-time record for unbeaten games in a single campaign.
