Bayer Leverkusen breaks the record for invincibility in Europe!

Quite simply historical. This Thursday evening, Bayer Leverkusen had the opportunity to make football history once and for all. Undefeated for 48 matches, since the start of the season, the German team never seems to be afraid of defeat. This Thursday evening, while trailing 2-0 in the 80th minute, Xabi Alonso’s club once again managed to snatch qualification and an equalizer at the last second (90th+7, 2-2 final score) . A goal which therefore extends the series by one match.

Thanks to this goal, Bayer Leverkusen definitely enters the legend since with 49 matches without defeat (40 wins, 9 draws), Die Schwarzroten has the best invincibility series in European football ahead of Benfica (48 matches) in 1963. This season, Bayer Leverkusen came back 10 times and scored 35 goals in the last quarter of an hour of a match. Another record. Already German champion, Bayer can extend its historic season by winning the C3 against Atalanta and the German Cup against Kaiserslautern.
