Bayer Leverkusen has not lost a single match this season. Never has a club from the five major European football championships managed to remain undefeated for so many matches.
The last time Xabi Alonso lost in an official competition dates back to May 27, 2023, against VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga (3-0). With 38 victories and six draws since the start of the current financial year, the German team is hovering at a dizzying height. Before their 44-game unbeaten streak, the European record was Juventus. During the 2011-2012 season, the Italian team, then coached by Antonio Conte, had 43 matches without ever losing. They will play in the German Cup final on May 25 against Kaiserslautern (German second division) and the Europa League semi-finals on May 2 in Italy, then on the 9th at home. The German team can achieve a formidable treble this season and will face AS Roma in the semi-final.
