Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen are on the brink of the German league title after Bayern’s shock defeat to Heidenheim.
Bayern Munich’s miserable Bundesliga season continued on Saturday as they surrendered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at Heidenheim, all the while league leaders Bayer Leverkusen were winning again away to Union Berlin.
When can Leverkusen win the 2023/24 Bundesliga?
Xabi Alonso’s side now hold a 16-point lead at the top of the table with only six matches left to play, which means Leverkusen will win the first title in their history next weekend if they win at home to Werder Bremen on Sunday.
On top of that, they are unbeaten in 41 matches in all competitions, a German record, and could become the first team to complete a Bundesliga season without losing a league fixture.
While Leverkusen are on the brink of making history, their impending triumph will bring to an end one of the most dominant streaks in the history of club soccer.
How many league titles in a row have Bayern won? How many do they have in total?
Bayern have incredibly won the last 11 Bundesliga titles in a row, which has seen them move onto 32 in total. That means they are a whopping 27 (yes, twenty-seven) ahead of two teams who are in joint-second place on the list with five: Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Dortmund were, of course, the last club other than Bayern to win the league in Germany, with the back-to-back titles claimed in 2011 and 2012 going a long way to putting Jürgen Klopp on the map as an elite-level coach.
Bayern and Leverkusen still dreaming of European glory
While Bayern are still in contention to win the Champions League, their current form (just four wins in 10 matches) means they are not fancied by many to get past Premier League title challengers Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
And the Bavarians could also be further overshadowed by Leverkusen, who will face 2. Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern in the final of the DFB Pokal (German Cup) and have reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they will take on West Ham United.
Could a treble be on the cards? Alonso recently stated he would not be joining either Bayern or Liverpool this coming summer, which suggests Leverkusen will continue to be a formidable force again next season. Maybe Harry Kane shouldn’t have left Spurs after all...

So when Kane killed Abel you thought God was not seeing???? Stop getting curses unknowingly. Just look at How Julian Abraham Alvarez will win a back to back treble because of his blessings

Harry kane is the guy who can make the French ligue 1 more competitive by bringing his curse of winning no trophy by joining the PSG.[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]
Another dumb person. When was the last time PSG won 5 consecutive league titles? Go check the number of teams which have won league 1 for the past 11yrs.

Bayern should just sack tuchel now to save some embarrassment. One of the greatest managers, The special one, Jose Mourinho is available at the moment. I believe he is the man to take Bayern forward. If they sack tuchel, Mourinho shud be at least give care taking duties as an experiment. I just cant help but believe in him. He has coached a Elite team for quite a while now, this can be his last opportunity before retirement.

Bayern brought this unfavourable chapter upon themselves the moment they fired Nagelsmann. They were ungrateful. They took their league dominance for granted.

Kane is not a problem here. Bayern Munich's last trophy was by chance and moreover, Kane came at the wrong time when Bayern Munich's flopping issues started but I strongly believe that the guy will win some trophies before hanging his boot.He shouldn't give up on his dreams!

I don't know when they didn't win the Bundesliga BUT I KNOW THE LAST TIME THEY WILL SMELL IT! The last time Bayern Munich will see the Bundesliga was the year they signed Tottenham Hotspur (The symbol of trophylessness)
They literally won the league ten years in a row. About time a team in Germany where skilled enough to end it. Cause dortmund seem to be the spurs of Germany.
