Bayer Leverkusen: Unbeaten Run and Pursuit of Football History (Govima Sport)
Bayer Leverkusen is rewriting the history books in spectacular fashion, with Xabi Alonso’s team achieving remarkable milestones that have set the football world abuzz.
The German club’s recent feats include ending Bayern Munich’s dominance by clinching the Bundesliga title, marching towards their first European final in over two decades, and boasting an awe-inspiring 48-game unbeaten streak.
This unbeaten streak has already etched Leverkusen’s name in the record books, standing as the longest unbeaten run among teams from Europe’s elite leagues – the Bundesliga, Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga, and Serie A. Now, just five more games stand between Leverkusen and a historic invincible treble, a feat rarely achieved in football history.
“We want to stay unbeaten, but we know it gets tougher every week,” expressed Alonso, highlighting the relentless pursuit of excellence within the team.
Leverkusen’s dominance extends across all competitions, with an impressive record of 40 wins in their 48-game unbeaten spree.
On the horizon for Leverkusen is the Europa League semi-final clash against Roma, where they hold a commanding 2-0 lead from the first leg in Italy. While their focus remains on securing a spot in the final and potentially lifting their first European trophy in 36 years, the allure of maintaining their unbeaten run continues to drive the team.
Leverkusen’s journey to football immortality has drawn comparisons to legendary teams like Celtic and Ajax, who achieved domestic trebles without suffering defeats but fell short in European competitions.
Leverkusen’s quest for an invincible treble adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to their already historic campaign.
The team’s upcoming fixtures present opportunities to break more records, including a shot at going the entire league campaign unbeaten, a feat last achieved by Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ in the 2003-04 Premier League season.
Leverkusen’s relentless pursuit of perfection and their eye-catching performances have captivated football enthusiasts worldwide, setting the stage for a potential chapter in football history that will be remembered for generations to come.
