Leverkusen, Undefeated in 50 Games

Leverkusen, undefeated in 50 games… ‘One step’ to the dream of ‘undefeated championship’

5–0 win over Bochum… Final match between Augsburg and Bundesliga on the 18th.

Leverkusen, led by coach Xabi Alonso, is now just one step away from winning the German professional football Bundesliga for the first time without losing.

Leverkusen defeated Bochum 5–0 in the away game in the 33rd round of the 2023–2024 Bundesliga held at the Bonovia Ruhrstadion in Bochum, Germany on the 13th (Korean time).

As Bochum was outnumbered due to Felix Paslac’s sending off in the 15th minute of the first half, Leverkusen scored five goals, starting with Patrick Chic’s first goal in the 41st minute and ending with Alex Grimaldo’s goal in extra time in the second half. 카지노사이트

With this, Leverkusen went undefeated in 50 consecutive official games this season.

They still have no losses since opening with 41 wins and 9 draws.

With the big win on this day, they also broke the record for the longest undefeated streak in official games since the launch of the European Club Competition.

Second place in this category is Benfica (Portugal), which recorded undefeated in 48 official games between December 1963 and February 1965 thanks to the performance of legendary striker Eusebio.

Leverkusen, who is making new history, achieved 27 wins and 6 draws in the league this season, accumulating 87 points.

The goal of Leverkusen, which has already won the competition against second-place Bayern Munich (23 wins, 3 draws, 7 losses, 72 points) and secured its first championship since its founding in 1904, is to win the championship without losing.

Leverkusen will write history if they draw or win the final 34th round home game against Augsburg on the 18th.

Until now, no team has achieved an undefeated win in the Bundesliga.

Munich, which won 11 consecutive championships until last season, has never won without losing.

The closest to this was Munich in the 2012–2013 season, where they recorded 29 wins and 4 draws, but lost once to Leverkusen, and their undefeated championship was canceled.

Even when looking at the top five leagues in Europe, an undefeated championship is a precious record.

Since 2000, only Arsenal (England) in the 2003–2004 season and Juventus (Italy) in the 2011–2012 season have achieved it.

Leverkusen still has two more opportunities to lift non-league trophies.

Leverkusen also reached the German Football Association (DFB)-Pokal final.

If they defeat Kaiserslautern (second division) on the 26th, they will win this competition for the first time in 31 years since the 1992–1993 season.

If they defeat Augsburg and Kaiserslautern in succession, they will achieve a ‘domestic double’ (two wins in domestic competitions) by going undefeated.

Leverkusen is also aiming to win the UEFA Europa League.

Leverkusen, who defeated AS Roma in the semifinals, is about to face Atalanta (Italy) in the final.

According to Reuters, after the match against Bochum on this day, coach Alonso said, “I am satisfied with this result.

It was very important for us,” and added, “We have a great goal ahead of us, to win the title without losing.

This is unprecedented (in the Bundesliga).” He said.

He added, “Winning at Leverkusen is a very special thing.

The players have shown concentration throughout the season so far.

It is a very special thing and I am proud of the players.”
