Leverkusen displaces FC Bayern from the throne and is German champion. The FCB patron reluctantly congratulates.

The fact that Hoeneß finds it difficult to congratulate Leverkusen on their championship title is due to the past. Between Borussia Dortmund's two double bowls in 1995 and 1996 and 2011 and 2012 and especially around the turn of the millennium, Leverkusan was FC Bayern's biggest competitor for a long time. After eleven years in a row, the German champions are no longer called FC Bayern. After the championship, Robert Andrich made an announcement to FC Bayern: a Leverkusens poison arrow after the championship. Will Hoeneess switch to the “attack department” and shoot back? The Bayern patron pulled out his cell phone: congratulations went out from Tegernsee to the Rhineland. “I congratulated them all today and wrote that I wish them all that. Even though it was difficult for me,” said Hoeneuss on Monday during his testimony in the summer fairy tale trial.
