Leverkusen, the "Runaway locomotive," is undefeated in 48 consecutive official matches

It looks like a runaway train with broken brakes. Leverkusen of Germany had no loss in 48 consecutive matches, setting a tie with the most undefeated record since the launch of the European Club Championship.

Leverkusen beat Frankfurt 5-1 in an away match in the 32nd round of the 2023-2024 German Bundesliga at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany on the 6th.

Leverkusen, which has already confirmed its Bundesliga title, continued its unbeaten streak at 48 official matches with the win. Leverkusen is on par with Benfica's record of 48 official matches with the performance of legendary striker Eusevu from December 1963 to February 1965. This is the record of most consecutive unbeaten ties since the European club competition began. Leverkusen will set a new record in this category if it fails to lose in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinal match against AS Roma at 4 a.m. on Saturday.

Comparing the record before the launch of the European club competition, the record in history in this category is 62 games unbeaten, set by Celtic Scotland from 1915 to 1917.

Leverkusen has strong momentum this season. It shook off its disgraceful nickname "Neverkusen," which used to be a runner-up, and clinched the league title early on in the 29th round. Since then, it has been battling to extend its unbeaten record.

Leverkusen, which is currently challenging to win the Europa League and the German Football Association DFB-Pokal, is also challenging the treble triple crown.

Leverkusen's angry attack strength remained intact in the match. Notably, it scored as many as five goals even though it had a rotation in preparation for the midweek match against AS Roma. Leverkusen, who led the way with Granit Xhaka's goal in the 12th minute of the first half, gave Hugo Ekitike an equalizer in the 32nd minute of the first half, but Patrick Sikh scored the winner with a high RBI header in the 44th minute of the first half. Since then, Leverkusen have secured their victory by scoring a penalty kick by Ezequiel Palacios and Jeremy Frimpong's goal in a counterattack situation. Victor Boniface scored a penalty kick in the 44th minute of the second half to seal the victory. Leverkusen also scored 82 goals in the league on the day, setting a new club record for most goals scored in a season. The previous record was 80 goals in the 2021-2022 season.  토토사이트

If Leverkusen fails to lose in the 33rd round against Bochum and the 34th round against Augsburg, it will become the first team to win the Bundesliga championship without losing. When asked if he will try to win the Bundesliga unbeaten, Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso replied, "Of course. We have only two matches left to complete the challenge."
