Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, has made history by becoming the first-ever Bundesliga side to end a season unbeaten. This incredible achievement was made possible by the contributions of several key players, including Nigerian duo Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella.
Victor Boniface, in particular, was instrumental in Leverkusen’s success. Despite missing three months due to injury, he scored 14 goals and provided 8 assists in just 23 games. His impressive form and dedication to the team’s success were instrumental in Leverkusen’s unbeaten season. Boniface’s goal in the final match against Augsburg was the perfect ending to an incredible season.
Nathan Tella, on the other hand, contributed 5 goals and 2 assists in 24 appearances. Although he was an unused substitute in the final match, his contributions throughout the season were invaluable. Tella’s pace and skill on the wing caused problems for opposing teams, and his understanding with Boniface and other teammates led to several crucial goals.
The Nigerian duo’s impressive performances were a key factor in Leverkusen’s unbeaten season. Their goals, assists, and overall team play helped the team secure 28 wins and 6 draws in 34 matches, with an impressive 89 goals scored and only 24 conceded.
Boniface and Tella’s success in the Bundesliga is a testament to the growing influence of Nigerian players in European football. Their performances have not only made them fan favorites but also earned them recognition at the international level.
As Leverkusen celebrates their historic achievement, Boniface and Tella can take pride in their contributions to the team’s success. Their performances have set a high standard for future seasons, and they will be eager to continue making an impact in the Bundesliga.
