On Saturday, Leverkusen's Bundesliga perfect record was in jeopardy. This season, it became known for its late game-winning goals, but it also looked susceptible to a comeback when Augsburg came close to winning the match. However, Augsburg’ hope was short-lived as Leverkusen held on to win 2-1 and cap off an incredible season.

The squad led by Xabi Alonso became the first in history to go through the whole Bundesliga season with 28 victories, 6 draws, and 0 losses. As he accepted his award, Alonso, who took over in October 2022 with Leverkusen in the relegation zone, punched the air to thunderous applause from the supporters. After Bayern Munich expressed interest, he already committed to staying for the upcoming season. Leverkusen's players got the team's first-ever league winners medals at the end of the game and the sold-out audience of 30,000 applauded.
