[Saba Sports News] This season, Bayer Leverkusen clinched the Bundesliga championship for the first time in their team’s history with an unbeaten record of 28 wins and 6 draws. According to German media reports, the German Football League (DFL) has recently decided not to award a special gold trophy to Bayer Leverkusen. Although the club had discussions with the DFL regarding whether to present a special championship gold trophy to the undefeated Leverkusen, the proposal was ultimately rejected for various reasons. It’s worth mentioning that during the 2003/04 season, Arsenal won the Premier League with an unbeaten record of 26 wins and 12 draws and received a smaller gold trophy. When Arsene Wenger stepped down in 2018, Arsenal presented him with this trophy. Leverkusen’s triumph this time is a significant achievement. The club has reached the top of the Bundesliga for the first time in its 120-year history, having finished as runners-up five times before. It is a truly historic breakthrough, and who doesn’t love the glory of a first-time victory? However, the Bundesliga’s decision seems quite inflexible.
