Bayer Leverkusen Clinch Historic Bundesliga Title

"I'm not speaking as a coach anymore," said the former Celta, Zaragoza, Espanyol, and Betis player on Movistar Plus. "But on a personal level, being the superstar he has been and is, being able to share a locker room with him is a luxury."

As a result, the Spanish international felt "very fortunate" to coincide with the Spanish coach, whom he thanked for the treatment he has received since joining Leverkusen at the beginning of the season.

Borja Iglesias mentioned that he was "very happy" for the opportunity to be part of the German team, in a group that "was clear about wanting to fight for this, knowing the difficulty involved." "Achieving it is crazy," he added.

Alejandro Grimaldo, a left-back for Bayer Leverkusen and one of the keys to the success of Xabi Alonso's team, commented that he joined the club in search of success, "in a great project with a coach who trusted him a lot."

"I didn't expect to arrive in the first year and win the Bundesliga, but I knew we were going to fight. What I didn't know was that it would be a 16-point difference. It's crazy to win already in April. The truth is incredible how this year is going, and we have to take advantage of it," he added.
