Bayer Leverkusen’s late, late show against Roma made it 49 successive games without defeat in all competitions, including 40 victories.
It means Leverkusen, who were knocked out by Roma at the semi-final stage of the Europa League last season, bettered the unbeaten run the Eusebio-led Benfica side managed between December 1963 and February 1965.
That feat by the Portuguese giants was the longest unbeaten run since the advent of European competition, according to Uefa – until this remarkable Leverkusen campaign.
Can Xabi Alonso’s side keep that run going to the end of the season?
They have two Bundesliga matches remaining before the Europa League final against Atalanta, then finish off their campaign with the German DFB Cup final against Kaiserslautern on 25 May.
