Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz named Bundesliga Player of the Season

The Bundesliga has confirmed that Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz has been awarded the trophy for the best player of the 2023-24 season in the German top flight. Xabi Alonso's pupil, aged just 21, has dominated the midfield of a team that did not lose a single game all season. Eleven goals and eleven assists have decorated a sporting year that goes beyond figures.

The championship itself and his club, Bayer Leverkusen, confirmed the award for the 21-year-old midfielder who, in his fifth season in his country's top flight, has established himself thanks to the talents that Xabi Alonso has brought to his attention.

The Spanish coach has turned his project into a machine capable of putting an end to Bayern Munich's reign thanks to a season without a single defeat.
