Super Eagles forward Nathan Tella has expressed his joy after clinching the German Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen.

The English-born Nigerian played a crucial role in Burnley's return to the English Premier League while on loan from Southampton, showcasing his goal-scoring abilities, pace, and skills.

Tella's winning streak continued at the Bay Arena, where he secured the championship within less than two years of his professional football career.

Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Tella emphasized the need to stay focused for upcoming matches, including a crucial game on Thursday.

Reflecting on his achievement, Tella emphasized that winning trophies is never guaranteed and emphasized the significance of this moment in the club's history.

He highlighted the exceptional teamwork and coaching support that contributed to their success.

“Yeah, it’s obviously very special. I’ve always said trophies aren’t guaranteed,” he said, as quoted by Daily Post.

“The fact that I’ve had an opportunity to come to this club in my first season with an incredibly talented group of players, unbelievable coaching staff, and win something first time of asking is special. It’s an important moment for the history of the club.”

Bayer Leverkusen, under the leadership of Xabi Alonso remains undefeated in all competitions this season.

The newly crowned German champions will now focus on advancing to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League.

Leverkusen will go into the second leg against West Ham United with a 2-0 advantage.
