By Jamie Spencer Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Exequiel Palacios has admitted he is proud to know Barcelona are showing interest in him ahead of the summer transfer window. Palacios played a key role in both Leverkusen's maiden Bundesliga title and run to the Europa League final this past season, forming a solid central partnership with Granit Xhaka. His contributions, like so many of the squad moulded by Xabi Alonso, haven't gone unnoticed by bigger sides and Barca have been linked as they search for an upgrade on Oriol Romeu in midfield. "It is a pride that a big club like Barca pays attention...

By Ewan Murray Winning silverware is all well and good but one of the signs of a truly elite team is simply refusing to be beaten. The two things normally go hand in hand, with some of the generational sides of past years having gone on lengthy unbeaten runs en route to glory. An invincible season is perhaps the mark of true greatness, with plenty of Europe's top sides having boasted such campaigns. From the early 20th century to the modern day, these specific squads have written their name into club legend with their stoic displays and resilience. Here are the ten longest unbeaten runs in Eur...

By Katie Catherall Bayer Leverkusen have revealed they could be tempted into a sale of centre-back Jonathan Tah amid interest from Chelsea and Manchester United. Tah has been linked with an array of big clubs this summer, with Stamford Bridge increasingly looking like a potential destination as the Blues look to rebuild their defensive department. Their interest may be even more intense now following the confirmed departure of Thiago Silva at the end of the season. It won't be easy for them to procure Tah, but it has now been revealed that Leverkusen will be open to offers for the 28-year-old....

By Joshua Browne Former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka remains optimistic about the club's chances of winning the Premier League for the first time in 20 years, despite last weekend's disappointing defeat to Aston Villa. The Gunners were surprisingly beaten 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and crashed out of the Champions League three days later after losing 3-2 on aggregate to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Arsenal's defeat to Villa was all the more frustrating as Liverpool also slipped up against Crystal Palace, with the dropped points for both handing Manchester City the advantage i...

By Ewan Murray West Ham United will have to do something this Thursday that no other team has done this season and that's beat Bayer Leverkusen. If the Irons want to secure a place in the Europa League semi-finals, they will have to overturn a 2-0 defeat from their quarter-final first leg clash with the German side last week. Late goals from Jonas Hofmann and Victor Boniface mean that David Moyes' men now have a mountain to climb against Xabi Alonso's unbeaten Leverkusen. West Ham may hope for a lapse in concentration from their visitors midweek after Leverkusen celebrated a first ever Bundesl...

By Jamie Spencer For the first time in their history, Bayer Leverkusen are Bundesliga champions. This is the club that was once branded ‘Neverkusen’ thanks to four second-place finishes in the space of six seasons between 1996 and 2002, the latter year also seeing them lose the Champions League final against Real Madrid in a famous contest at Hampden Park. It is an incredibly proud moment for Leverkusen, the club and the city, and testament to the work done by the sporting department and head coach Xabi Alonso. Significant, too, is what it means for German football as a whole. No club other th...

By Braden Chalker Bayer Leverkusen's 5-0 thrashing of Werder Bremen to seal their first-ever Bundesliga title meant that Bayern Munich's 11-year run of dominance came to a screeching halt. The Bavarian giants last failed to clinch a Bundesliga title way back in the 2011/12 campaign, when rivals Borussia Dortmund pipped Jupp Heynckes's Bayern to the summit of the German first division. This was also the time when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were smashing goalscoring records seemingly every weekend in LaLiga, while Chelsea experienced European glory for the first time with Didier Drogba l...

By Sean Walsh Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro has revealed he has "no doubt" Xabi Alonso will manage Real Madrid one day. Alonso joined Leverkusen in October 2022 with the club mired in the Bundesliga relegation zone, but a spirited debut season saw them earn a sixth-place finish and qualification to the Europa League. Now into the Spaniard's first full season, Leverkusen have already wrapped up the Bundesliga title - the first in the club's history - and remain the last unbeaten side in Europe, still going strong in the Europa League and DFB Pokal. Alonso's heroics saw him linked to the j...

By Sean Walsh For the first time in history, Bayer Leverkusen have won the Bundesliga. They have ended Bayern Munich's strangehold on German football, being led by Xabi Alonso from the dugout. To get there, he sought to build on the club's existing talent, but also brought in some quality players from the Premier League, who have more than repaid his faith. Here are the former stars of the Premier League who have contributed to Leverkusen's success.
