Ladies and gentlemen, after 120 years of existence, Bayer Leverkusen has finally lifted the first Meistershale in its history, ending nearly 11 years of national supremacy for Bayern Munich! By crushing Werder Bremen yesterday with a score of 5-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Florian Wirtz, Xabi Alonso’s men made the history of German football. For everyday BildIt is “the miracle of the master”. Xabi Alonso’s team is greeted by all of Europe this Monday morning. In Spain, A.S. indicates that a “new Kaiser” made his appearance in the person of Xabi Alonso. In Portugal, the newspaper Record prefers to highlight the joy of the Bayer supporters who did not wait for the final whistle to invade the pitch and we can understand them after so many years of waiting. Incredible scenes that we love to see in football. For The Teamit’s a “historical happiness”! For Bayer Leverkusen, this title is only a first step towards supreme glory since a championship-cup-Europa League treble is still possible!
Barça found the solution against Mbappé
Ghostly in the first leg, Kylian Mbappé will be particularly expected during the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League between FC Barcelona and PSG. In Catalonia, we fear the blowback and everyone has in mind their fantastic hat-trick a few years ago in a Camp Nou which rang hollow. For A.S.it will be either “a sad goodbye or the expected feat” for Mbappé. His compatriot Jules Koundé will try to stop him, which he managed to do quite well in the first leg. The Frenchman, who was entrusted with this mission, is doing everything he can in any case! He was spotted at the gym at 4am after the victory against Cadiz. Mbappé has been warned!
More fear than harm for Ndicka

He was taken to hospital, holding his chest as he left the pitch on a stretcher. “Fear on the ground”writing La Gazzetta dello Sport in today’s edition. This Monday morning, all of Italy is at the bedside of the 24-year-old player who is out of danger, rest assured.
