Jeremie Frimpong gave a brilliant post-match interview after Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph.
After a stunning start under Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen raced to a 16-point lead at the top of the table over Bayern Munich and they were finally crowned champions of Germany on Sunday.
A hat-trick by Florian Wirtz plus goals from Victor Boniface and Granit Xhaka sealed a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen as Leverkusen won the title in spectacular style.
After the match, Frimpong gave one of the most charismatic interviews you'll ever see as he spoke to Bundesliga English's Archie Rhind-Tutt.

Whilst standing with his arm perched on Rhind-Tutt’s shoulder, Frimpong said: “Unbelievable. It still doesn't feel real and hasn't hit me yet. I am out of words.
“Today was a special day for us as we knew a win would give us the league. We were extra motivated and the coach (Alonso) didn't even need to give us a speech because we were all excited. We got the job done and are champions of the Bundesliga, What can I say?”
He added: “Everybody is loving it in there. The coach tried to drench me, Edmond Tapsoba tried to drench me. I’ve come here to hide!”
When asked about manager Alonso, the Dutchman said: “I mean, Xabi Alonso has changed Leverkusen you know, we’ve never won the league before so he’s the first one to win it for us so he did an amazing job.

“Of course, the season is not finished yet but we can enjoy this moment. We know we won the Bundesliga so we can enjoy that today.
“And tomorrow, our focus is on Thursday against West Ham.”
Towards the end of the interview, Frimpong took the opportunity to praise Rhind-Tutt’s outfit.

He said: “I like the pink by the way, very nice, you look handsome.”
Rhind-Tutt then asked: “Just finally, how do we enjoy life like Jeremie Frimpong seems to, what’s the secret?”
The defender replied: “What’s the secret? Just have a smile you know, just enjoy life because you only live once.
“So whilst we’re on this earth just have fun, love others and give possible energy and then life is good.”
