Leverkusen continued their impressive run with a draw in the Europa League the previous day.
Bayer set a new record for matches without defeat. It now stands at 49 consecutive matches. It happened the day before. We remind you that in the second leg of the semi-final of the Europa League the team drew with Roma and reached the final of the tournament.

This result allowed the “pharmacists” to break Benfica’s previous “infinite” record. 60 years ago, the “eagles” played 48 matches without defeat in all official competitions. This streak lasted from December 22, 1963 to February 7, 1965.
Now Bayer’s streak is the best in the history of European football among clubs participating in European cup competitions.
Longest unbeaten streak in European football:
1. Bayer (Germany) – 49 matches (2023 – ongoing)
2. Benfica (Portugal) – 48 matches (1963-1965)
3. Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) – 45 (2014-2015)
3. Rijeka (Croatia) – 45 (2016-2017)
5. Rangers (Scotland) – 44 (1992-1993)
