Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel congratulated Bayer on the title 14 days ago, and from today it is theoretically, officially, mathematically - the "pharmacists" are the champions of Germany, for the first time in the club's history.
They did it in style, in an incredible, unprecedented way, with five rounds to go, as they are 16 points clear of the Bavarian giants, who ended their streak of 11 consecutive Salataro.
Beer is being poured in Leverkusen today, Werder footballers served only as decor on the day of great celebration - 5:0 for Xabi Alonso's team, another demonstration of power, fluttering and attacking football.
What a performance - 29 games, 25 wins, just four draws, zero defeats, 74 goals scored, 19 goals conceded.
What the famous generation of Michael Ballak, Ulf Kirsten, Zee Roebert, Oliver Neuville... which competed for all three crowns (also played in the Champions League final) and ended up empty-handed on all fronts, failed to do in 2002. To Florian Wirz, Victor Boniface, Alex Grimaldo, Granit Xhaka, Jonas Hoffmann, Jeremy Frimpong, Patrick Schick and the rest of the guys...
The season is not over, Bayer has yet to lose, having broken all German records, and the final of the German Cup awaits, against the second division Kaiserslautern, as well as the final of the Europa League.
The historic season can get - even better.
Fans, being fans, at least today - they don't care about tomorrow. They rushed onto the field to celebrate their first ever title. All-time football scenes in Leverkusen.
