Bayer Leverkusen, who had already been crowned Bundesliga champions on Matchday 29, became the first club to win the German league title unbeaten in a campaign that was part of a historic unbeaten streak.
The team managed by Spaniard Xabi Alonso finished the 34 rounds of the German First Division competition with 28 wins and six draws, totaling 90 points, with 89 goals scored and a difference of 65.
In this way, he surpassed great campaigns such as those of Bayern Munich, who had only lost once in the 1986/87 and 2012/13 seasons.
Even in 2012/13 and 2013/14, the Bavarians had won 29 matches to claim the title, but they did not achieve it unbeaten.
Bayern Munich also went the longest unbeaten run in the Bundesliga: 53 games between 2012 and 2014, but these were over several different seasons and not a complete one.
The championship, which is the first of its kind in history, will therefore go down in history in German football.
Joins other undefeated champions in Europe’s top leagues
While Leverkusen were the first in Germany to emerge undefeated as champions, this had already happened in the other four of Europe’s five major leagues.
In England, it was not one of the most popular teams that managed to win the title without defeat, but Preston North End in the 1988/89 campaign. And already under the name of Premier League, Arsenal’s Invincibles won the title in 2003/04 unbeaten. It was the last league title for the Gunners.
In the Spanish LaLiga, Real Madrid in 1931/32 and Athletic in 1929/30 also won the championship undefeated.
And in the Italian Serie A, first Milan in 1992/93 and Juventus in 2011/12 preceded Leverkusen in the history of undefeated champions.
