Bayer Leverkusen hold the record of the longest unbeaten run in European football history after surpassing Benfica’s long-standing tally of 48 games without defeat.

Xabi Alonso’s side enjoyed a remarkable 2023-24 campaign, with the Spaniard guiding the club to their first-ever Bundesliga title.

They also reached the final of both the DFB-Pokal (which they won) and the Europa League, but faltered against Atalanta in the latter to lose their stunning unbeaten streak of 51 games without defeat.

Leverkusen were a measly 17th when Alonso was appointed in October 2022 and he has masterminded an unbelievable revival that has seen Die Werkself’s current squad achieve immortal status at the BayArena.

The Bundesliga side broke Benfica’s unbeaten record with a 2-2 draw against AS Roma in the second-leg of their Europa League semi-final, but which other clubs are in the top 10 list of the longest unbeaten streaks in European football history?
