Bayer Leverkusen, under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, has set a new record for the longest unbeaten run in European football history by reaching 49 games without defeat. This milestone surpasses Benfica's record of 48 games unbeaten set between December 1963 and February 1965. Leverkusen's historic run includes a recent 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and a dramatic 97th-minute equalizer against Roma in the Europa League semifinals, securing their place in the final. The team has scored a total of 134 goals during this streak and is now poised to complete the Bundesliga's first-ever undefeated season. They scored two late goals against Roma to reach the Europa League final.
