Leverkusen, Leicester, Montpellier: these champions who were totally unexpected

Neverkusen is no more, it's time for Bayer Leverkusen. Eternal outsider of German football until then, Bayer Leverkusen had a string of podiums including five failures in second place between 1997 and 2011. Cursed and mocked for its status as a magnificent loser, the German club finally put an end to the curse this season by winning thanks to the good work done since the arrival of Xabi Alonso on his bench. Relegating Bayern Munich to 16 points five days from the end after 11 years of Bavarian domination, the feat is great for the Werkself who can even finish the exercise undefeated.
