After finishing the regular season undefeated, Bayer Leverkusen is the champion of the Bundesliga, but they might still win the Europa regular and the domestic double. Jurgen Klinsmann attempts to provide an explanation for the unexplainable in a special conversation with Sky Sports. Bayern Munich’s 11-year run as German champions came to an end as Bayer Leverkusen won the tournament for the first time in their history and became the first team to go undefeated during an entire Bundesliga season.
However, Xabi Alonso’s team’s incredible season is still ongoing. On Wednesday, they take on Atalanta in the Europa League final in Dublin. On Saturday, they play Kaiserslautern in an attempt to win the German Cup. They are two games away from achieving an unblemished treble, a historically significant feat. German football icon Jurgen Klinsmann talks about how they succeeded, why it was significant for the Bundesliga, and potential future developments in an exclusive interview.

However, it has been such a breath of new air for all football fans in Germany, including those who follow the Bundesliga. It was high time someone made a change, as Bayern Munich had won the Bundesliga for ten years.
“Bayer Leverkusen pulled in all the supporters—well, not the Bayern Munich supporters, but the majority of the crowd—by performing that feat in such an amazing manner, with such a dynamic offensive style. They crossed their fingers in their favor.And even today, the tale is not over because they still have a chance to win the German Cup, which is just as important to us in Germany as the FA Cup, as well as the Europa League. It is significant. The FA Cup and the DFB-Pokal are probably pretty comparable.
“That is there to be grabbed, but they can win that one against a second-division team in Kaiserslautern, which was obviously always a first-division squad.”Then they play Atalanta Bergamo in the Europa League final; they are a formidable, skilled, and uncomfortable team to play against, but they have already proven themselves thus far, so why not try to win all three?”
