Leverkusen: Chasing Records in European Football!

Leverkusen in the fast lane!

38 games in a row unbeaten across all competitions. Bayer has long since set the German record and is extending it game by game. In the Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the measure of all things – and is now chasing Europe’s best teams of the century!

Since 2000, there have only been seven clubs in Europe’s top leagues that have achieved a longer unbeaten streak. Xabi Alonso (42) is only five games away from reaching the record. In 2011/12, Juventus Turin remained unbeaten for 43 games.

This top value is now within reach! And only one more game without defeat until the “Messi mark”: The legendary Barcelona around world stars Lionel Messi (36), Neymar (32) and Luis Suarez (37) achieved 39 unbeaten games in a row in the 2015/16 season.

Will Leverkusen also play in the cup against Düsseldorf (April 3rd, 8:45 p.m./here in the live ticker) further, the Alonso team would even be among the five best teams. Then with 40 games unbeaten on a level with Real Madrid (2016/17).

Bayer could celebrate the sole record in the Europa League second leg at West Ham (April 18th, 9 p.m.).

But you don’t want to look that far ahead in Leverkusen. Sports boss Simon Rolfes (42) remains true to the Bayer way and thinks from game to game. On his Linkedin profile he says: “The next few weeks are packed with games as it makes no sense for me to look too far into the future. I’m interested in the short-term issues surrounding our squad; it’s always the little things that matter. You can’t lose sight of the details, otherwise the big things won’t work. This is what everyone does in times of crisis. And that’s what you have to do when things are going well.”
