Excitement was building in Leverkusen, Germany on Sunday ahead of local team Bayer Leverkusen ’s expected Bundesliga title win after an outstanding season so far.
Leverkusen is unbeaten in a German record 42 games across all competitions this season and it needs just one win from its last six Bundesliga games to be sure of winning the title for the first time.Hours before kickoff, fans were already gathering to soak in the atmosphere and drink the local Kölsch light beer on a sunny afternoon.
Houses were decorated with club banners and scarves along the streets from the city’s main train station to the BayArena stadium, and tape in the club’s black and red colors decorated trees. Fans lined the main road to the stadium to greet the team bus. In a nearby park, next to a freshly painted mural of forward Florian Wirtz’s No. 10 shirt, vendors did a brisk trade in “German champion 2024” hats, as well as scarves reading “Thank You Xabi Alonso” – a tribute to the coach who has turned the team into a title contender.
“At least no one will say ‘Vicekusen’ anymore, which is very important,” said Germany sporting director Rudi Völler, who is a former Leverkusen sporting director and player. “It was a term that annoyed me for decades, but you have to put up with it, we never managed it before. But that’s over.”
