Bayer Leverkusen, having played yesterday in a 2-2 draw with Italian Roma in the return match of the 1/2 final of the Europa League, brought its unbeaten streak in all tournaments to 49 matches, thus setting a new world record.
Before that, the world record holder at club level for the number of matches without defeat was Benfica Lisbon, which in 1963-65 did not lose in 48 consecutive matches.
It should be added that the last time in official matches Bayer lost almost a year ago, on 27 May 2023, when in the last German championship lost away to Bochum - 0:3.
