Bayer Leverkusen became the first team in Bundesliga history to complete an entire season unbeaten after beating Augsburg 2-1 on the final day.
Xabi Alonso’s height-chasing side also extended their European record unbeaten run in all competitions to 51 games this season.
Victor Boniface latched on to Augsburg goalkeeper Tomáš Koubek to take the lead in the 12th minute before Robert Andrich, part of Germany’s Euro 2024 preparation squad, doubled the advantage from close range.
Augsburg reduced the deficit when Mert Komur scored just after the hour mark.
Bayer Leverkusen captain Lukáš Hradecky made a smart stop to keep Leverkusen’s clean sheet as the Bundesliga champions held on to make history.
Alonso’s side, who face Atalanta in the Europa League final on Wednesday and Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal final on May 25, finished on 90 points, 17 ahead of second-placed Stuttgart and 18 ahead of Bayern Munich, who lost 4-2 at Hoffenheim.
