City of Leverkusen To Rename Street After Xabi?
The celebrations started early for Leverkusen fans, who decided to honour head coach Xabi Alonso is a truly special way.It was a Sunday to cherish for Bayer Leverkusen fans as Xabi Alonso's men clinched the club's first ever Bundesliga crown after a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen at the BayArena.
It was a sea of red outside the stadium as thousands of Leverkusen fans eagerly waited to greet the bus carrying Xabi Alonso and his troops bus prior to their 5-0 rout over Bremen. For now at least, it's just a case of a fan placing a sticker over the sign on what is still officially"Bismarckstrasse", but who says the road name can't still be named after Alonso, especially if he can finish the league season unbeaten, as well as win the DFB Pokal and the Europa League.
The club's only previous major honours were the 1987/88 UEFA Cup and 1992/93 DFB Cup and they've now snapped Bayern's 11-season Bundesliga title streak, with a chance of setting a new record by going unbeaten in a German top flight season.
