Bayer Leverkusen are just 90 minutes away from completing an unbeaten season in the Bundesliga. After dethroning record champions Bayern Munich to win their first-ever league title, the Werkself are now on the brink of becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to go an entire season unbeaten—a feat Bayern have never achieved.
Despite Bayern’s 33 titles, they have never gone through a season without a loss. However, Xabi Alonso’s team is now only one point away from this historic achievement as they prepare to host Augsburg at the Bay Arena on Saturday, a feat that would undoubtedly make Bayern envious.
Alonso took over a struggling Leverkusen side last October, steering them from the threat of relegation to a sixth-place finish. The goal for the 2023/24 season was to maintain momentum and secure a UEFA Champions League spot. Against all odds, this campaign has turned into a historic one.
