The Bayer Leverkusen dreams of closing the “perfect season”: just now the 51st consecutive match without defeat in all competitions arrived for Xabi Alonso’s team, which also beat Augsburg, 2-1, in the match valid for the last day of the Bundesliga. A championship that Wirtz and his associates won by a landslide, leaving only crumbs to their opponents: 90 points, the result of 28 victories and just 6 draws.
The Germans have recently overcome the streak of Benfica, who had remained unbeaten for 48 matches between December 1963 and February 1965. A legendary team, winners of the European Cup twice, which had a certain Eusebio among its ranks. The third step of the podium is occupied by Rijeka, who between 2016 and 2017 did not lose for 45 matches.
Bayer Leverkusen’s last setback dates back to May 27, 2023: 3-0 against Bochum on the last day of the last Bundesliga. This season, Xabi Alonso’s men have collected 42 wins and nine draws and there are still two games left to make it truly triumphal, with two more trophies to put on the board: the Europa League final on 22 May against Atalanta and the final German Cup match on May 25th against Kaiserslautern.
