Bayer Leverkusen are entering an unprecedented era. This weekend, they can secure their first ever Bundesliga title. Here are all the permutations that you need to know heading into matchday 29.
Stuttgart’s win at Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich’s collapse against Heidenheim last weekend means Bayer sit 16 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. That’s after Xabi Alonso’s side overcame Union Berlin 1-0 last weekend.
Bayer Leverkusen can be crowned champions without kicking a ball
Because of last weekend’s results, Bayer Leverkusen can be crowned Bundesliga champions without even kicking a ball. Should Bayern Munich and Stuttgart lose to FC Köln and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively, B04 will be champions on Saturday evening after the Topspiel.
If Bayern and/or Stuttgart win, then a win against Werder Bremen on Sunday will see Bayer win the Meisterschale.
Alternatively, if Bayern and/or Stuttgart draw, a point will do for Leverkusen on Sunday.
