Xabi Alonso, the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, opened up about ending the domination of Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga by bringing the league's title to Bayer Leverkusen.

He believed that this historic crowning is beneficial for the Bundesliga as a whole, after they ended Bayern Munich's 11-year reign at the top.

Bayer Leverkusen finally knocked Bayern Munich off the top of the Bundesliga, on Sunday, as the Meisterschale thrashed Werder Bremen 5-0 to win the title. 

The Bundesliga title triumph caps off an incredible season for Bayer Leverkusen, thanks to former Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso. 

Alonso told DAZN: "It is beneficial for the Bundesliga and German football that another team won the Bundesliga," adding: "We have to enjoy it now and need some time to let it sink in. It's a great moment. We'll see what happens in the future, but now is a moment to celebrate. This is my first season as a coach and the feeling is incredible. It's special to win the Bundesliga for the first time in Leverkusen's history after 120 years. It's a great honour to be a part of it."
