Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, reacted after Bayer Leverkusen defeated Kaiserslautern to win their first-ever DFB Pokal in 31 years.

Former Arsenal midfielder, Granit Xhaka, scored the only goal of the game in the first half as Leverkusen claimed a deserving 1-0 win over the Bundesliga 2 side at the Olympiastadion on Saturday night (May 25).

Die Werkself were the clear favourites ahead of the final, but their 3-0 loss against Ademola Lookman's Atalanta in the Europa League final on Wednesday (May 22), which ended their unbeaten record, still lingers in the players' minds.

According to a report by Soccernet, Xabi Alonso's team put their midweek loss behind them and earned a deserved victory despite being one man down for most of the second half.

Boniface played no part in the final as he was on the bench all through, but celebrated the victory with his teammates at the end of the game.

The Nigerian international took to his official handle on X (formerly Twitter) to comment on his team's victory in the DFB Pokal final and show his winner's medal.

"2 in my first season, Not bad," the Super Eagles star said on X.

This means the former Bodo Glimt star has won two titles in his first season with the German side. He is expected to stay with the Bundesliga champions despite links with top European clubs after his successful campaign.

Sports Brief also reported that Boniface shared his achievements with Leverkusen in his first season with the club.

The 23-year-old was named Rookie of the Year for his outstanding performances for the club across the campaign.
