NEW RECORD FOR BAYER LEVERKUSEN


Bayer Leverkusen set new record: 44 unbeaten games in a row!   

In the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final against West Ham, new German champions Bayer Leverkusen held on to a 1-1 draw and set a new record for teams from the top 5 European leagues: 44 consecutive matches without defeat in all competitions.
Xabi Alonso's team won 38 of them and drew only 6.
By tournament, the breakdown of matches in this series is as follows: 29 in the German Championship, 5 in the German Cup, 10 in the Europa League.
The series began exactly with the beginning of the current season.
The last match Bayer lost was the final match of last season, on 27 May 2023 vs Bochum (0-3) in the 34th round of the Bundesliga.
Remarkably, 6 times Bayer's streak was under serious threat: the team was on the verge of defeat, but saved each time.
Such cases are highlighted in dark blue in the left column.
In the game vs Bayern (2-2) on 15 September last year (match number 5 in the series), Bayer equalized in the 90+4 minute,
in the game vs Dortmund (1-1) on 3 December 3 - in the 79th minute.
March became especially turbulent for Leverkusen: they barely avoided defeat three times. Both matches of the round of 16 of the Europa League vs Karabakh turned out to be epic.
The first leg on 7 March (match 35): Bayer losing 0-2 away escape defeat thanks to goals in 70 and 90+2 minutes.
The second leg at home on 14 March (match 37): the same scenario; being 0-2 down, they came back due to goals in 72 and 90+3 minutes, and then also notched the winner in 90+8.
Next, on 30 March (match 39), Bayer did not surrender to Hoffenheim, losing 0-1 a minute before the end of regular time. In the remaining interval  they score twice and tilt the match in their favor.
Finally, in the last game vs West Ham (1-1), the fighting spirit was again shown: a draw, achieved in the 89th minute.
Really, Bayer deserve this record!
