Bayer Leverkusen poised for historic unbeaten season
Unbeaten in 50 competitive matches, the Werkself could make Bundesliga history
Can Leverkusen become the first Bundesliga team ever to go an entire season unbeaten?
Bayer Leverkusen's incredible unbeaten run continues to grow, with the Werkself now just one game away from making Bundesliga history.
Xabi Alonso's side extended their record-breaking run to 50 competitive matches on Saturday with a dramatic late win over Mainz. The victory kept Leverkusen top of the Bundesliga table and on course for a historic unbeaten season.
If Leverkusen can avoid defeat in their final match of the campaign against Freiburg on Saturday, they will become the first Bundesliga team ever to go an entire season unbeaten.
It would be a remarkable achievement for Leverkusen, who have been in impressive form all season. Alonso's side have won 26 of their 33 Bundesliga matches so far, scoring 93 goals and conceding just 24.
Leverkusen's success has been built on a solid defence and a potent attack. The Werkself have kept 14 clean sheets in the Bundesliga this season, while Patrik Schick has scored 26 goals in all competitions.
If Leverkusen can complete an unbeaten season, it will be a testament to Alonso's coaching skills and the quality of his squad. It would also be a major boost for the Bundesliga's reputation as one of the best leagues in Europe.
