<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> have achieved what seemed impossible and they are the first team to finish undefeated in a season in the history of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bundesliga">Bundesliga</a>. The magical ending came this Saturday thanks to a 2-1 victory against Augsburg.



The numbers of Bayer Leverkusen are impressive with 28 victories and only six draws to end the reign of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a> in Germany that lasted more than a decade.



Leverkusen finished their campaign with a remarkable 17-point lead over second place Stuttgart and still have a chance to win two other tournaments: the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/europa-league">Europa League</a> and the DFB Pokal.



This is the first championship in history for a club founded in 1904. Therefore, the celebrations at BayArena were spectacular.

<h2>How many games have Bayer Leverkusen been undefeated?</h2>



After their victory against Augsburg, Bayer Leverkusen are now unbeaten in 51 matches across all competitions, setting a record for any club in the top five leagues in Europe (Germany, England, Italy, France, and Spain).







During the 2023-2024 season, Bayer Leverkusen only has two more matches on their schedule: the Europa League final on May 22 against Atalanta and the DFB Pokal final against Kaiserslautern on May 25.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/video-bayer-leverkusen-win-their-first-bundesliga-title"></div>


<h2>Has any European football team gone undefeated?</h2>



In England, Preston North End (1888-1889) finished undefeated, although that season they only had 22 matches on the schedule. Arsenal achieved the feat in the 2003-2004 season with 26 wins and 12 draws.



In Spain, Athletic Club (1929-1930) did it in a season which only had 18 games. Same case for Real Madrid during the 1931-1932 season. In France, no team has ever achieved the feat.



Meanwhile in Italy, three teams have done it. Perugia (1978-1979 season), AC Milan (1991-1992 season) and Juventus (2011-2012 season).

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> were about to suffer their first defeat of the 2023-2024 season against Stuttgart at home. Although <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xabi-alonso">Xabi Alonso</a> and his players had already secured the Bundesliga title, the dream of finishing the campaign unbeaten was one of their major objectives.



When everything seemed to be lost, Robert Andrich scored in the 96th minute to put the final 2-2 draw. As a consequence, Leverkusen can still post the first immaculate season in Bundesliga’s history.



Now, Bayer Leverkusen have a 46-game unbeaten streak considering all competitions. They’ve already won the German league and might hoist two more trophies: DFB Pokal and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/europa-league">Europa League</a>.



The previous unbeaten record in the five major European leagues belonged to Juventus with Antonio Conte as coach: 43 matches undefeated in the 2011-2012 season.

<h2>Are Bayer Leverkusen still undefeated?</h2>



Yes. Bayer Leverkusen are in the middle of one of the greatest runs in soccer history. In the Bundesliga, they have three remaining matches: Eintracht Frankfurt, Bochum and Augsburg.







They will also play the DFB Pokal final against FC Kaiserslautern and AS Roma are their rivals in the semifinals of the Europa League. Of course, we’ll have to add another game if they reach that tournament’s final. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


<h2>How many teams have won their leagues undefeated?</h2>



In the United Kingdom, Preston North End (1888-1889) did it in a 22-game season. Then, Arsenal conquered the legendary 2003-2004 Premier League title. 



In Italy, two teams achieved it: AC Milan (1991-1992) and Juventus FC (2011-2012). In Spain, Athletic Club (1929-1930) during an 18-game season and Real Madrid (1931-1932) also in an 18-game campaign. No teams have done it in Germany or France.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> have achieved what seemed unattainable. After 119 years of history, the club has won its first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bundesliga">Bundesliga</a> with an impressive record of 29 unbeaten matches, including 25 victories.



Xabi Alonso has done an extraordinary job in his first major opportunity as a coach. In addition to their unstoppable run in Germany, the team also aims to lift the DFB Pokal and the Europa League, all without losing a single match.



Furthermore, Bayer Leverkusen achieved something very unusual for any team in Germany: halting a streak of 11 consecutive titles from a powerhouse like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a>, who have fallen behind by 16 points.







As expected, the scenes at the end of the 5-0 victory against Werder Bremen were epic, with thousands of fans flooding into the BayArena pitch to celebrate alongside their heroes. A magical night indeed.

Xabi Alonso and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> are having a spectacular season in the Bundesliga, remaining undefeated after 27 matches. They have a 13-point lead over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a> and, unless a catastrophe occurs, they are set to be crowned champions in Germany.



If that weren’t enough, Bayer Leverkusen survived a tremendous series against Qarabag to reach the Europa League quarterfinals. Additionally, in the DFB Pokal, they will play the semifinals against Düsseldorf. Alive in all competitions.



As a result of this magical run, Xabi Alonso has become one of the most coveted coaches in European soccer. His past as a player with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liverpool">Liverpool</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> seemed to make his departure inevitable.

<h2>What will be the next team of Xabi Alonso?</h2>



In a highly anticipated press conference, Xabi Alonso confirmed that he will return as the coach of Bayer Leverkusen for the 2024-2025 season. At the moment, he will not make the leap to the Premier League or La Liga.







“It’s been a season in which we had a lot of speculation regarding my future. I wanted to use that time of the International Break to reflect a little bit better and to take a decision. My decision is to continue being coach of Bayer Leverkusen.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230920#BUS#65558"></div>


Following Jürgen Klopp’s announcement confirming his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season, Xabi Alonso emerged as the ideal candidate for a long-term project with the Reds. However, that will not happen.



“For sure, all the decisions, you need to analyze well. I’ve tried to take the right ones. I feel that this is the right place for me to develop as a coach. I am a young coach, I have to feel it and right now I fell this is the right place. I feel that my job is not over here.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


<h2>Will Xabi Alonso coach Real Madrid?</h2>



Now, this option seems more plausible. Carlo Ancelotti decided to stay at Real Madrid despite a significant offer from the Brazilian national team. If the Italian remains for one or two more seasons with the Merengues, Alonso could be the ideal successor after gaining more experience in Germany.

In recent months, rumors of Carlo Ancelotti’s departure from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Real Madrid</a> have circulated. The team is reportedly prepared for his exit and has chosen a club legend to succeed the four-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Champions League</a> winner.



Real Madrid has had a terrific run with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carlo Ancelotti</a> as manager. The Italian coach has won 10 titles with the Merengues, including two UEFA Champions League, two FIFA Club World Cup and one La Liga.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230923#BUS#67192"></div>


His success has attracted interest from other clubs in recent years. However, it appears that he aspires to become an international coach, with the Brazilian National team possibly being the next step in his career.



<h2>Real Madrid has reportedly selected Carlo Ancelotti’s replacement</h2>



In the summer of 2021, Real Madrid made the decision to rehire Carlo Ancelotti. Following Zinedine Zidane’s resignation, the Merengues sought a successful manager, and they opted for a familiar face for the job.



During the first year of his return, Ancelotti secured titles in the UEFA Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Supercup. However, the current state of the team is less than optimal, prompting consideration of hiring a club legend to succeed the Italian.



According to Spanish outlet Marca, Real Madrid’s preferred candidate to coach the team is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xabi-alonso" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xabi Alonso</a>. The former Merengues midfielder is currently with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bayer Leverkusen</a>, but the Blancos may attempt to lure him back to the team next year.



Raul Gonzalez, another legendary player of the club, is currently coaching Real Madrid B and is also being considered for the role. However, Xabi Alonso’s success with Bayer Leverkusen has captured the attention of President Florentino Perez, making him the frontrunner for the manager position.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230922#BUS#66655"></div>


<h2>Which teams has Xabi Alonso coached?</h2>



Xabi Alonso has only coached two teams: Real Sociedad B (2019-2022) and Bayer Leverkusen (2022-present).

Real Madrid wants to replace Carlo Ancelotti with a club legend

Report: Real Madrid picks a club legend to succeed Carlo Ancelotti as coach next year

Xabi Alonso was one of the most important players for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a> when they conquered the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a> in 2010. Now, the former player of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> has started his coaching career with extraordinary results at Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.



As an authorized voice in Spanish soccer, Alonso couldn’t stay aside of the massive scandal between Jenni Hermoso and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-rubiales">Luis Rubiales</a> after he gave her a controversial kiss after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/womensoccer/spain-wins-womens-world-cup-2023-five-facts-of-their-historic-win-20230820-BUS-49756.html">Women’s World Cup</a> final.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230825#BUS#52352"></div>


As a consequence, Rubiales was suspended by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fifa">FIFA</a> facing legal charges and Jorge Vilda is was fired as coach. Montse Tome took over, but, many players like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alexia-putellas">Alexia Putellas</a> are not happy with her decision to leave out Hermoso of the Nations League in order to protect her. Xabi Alonso spoke about it too.



<h2>Xabi Alonso supports the Spanish women’s national team</h2>



Before the Europa League match between Bayer Leverkusen and BK Häcken, Xabi Alonso was asked about the controversy around the Spanish women’s national team with Jenni Hermoso and Luis Rubiales. 







“Sometimes from the uncomfortable and unpleasant situations, good things come. I’m sorry for what they’ve had to experience. After being world champions, we have been talking more about other issues than about the big achievement they got.”



Alonso admitted that, though their performance at the World Cup seems to be forgotten amid all the scandal, the younger generations will definitely take notice of all their efforts.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230818#BUS#48618"></div>


“In the long term, they will be well remembered as they fought for a good cause. My daughters, they will remember them in the future because of what they fight for. These women that were champions. It’s an important topic and, when that happens, it becomes an international cause.”

Xabi Alonso arrived to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> last October when the club got into the relegation zone at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bundesliga">Bundesliga</a>. It was a critical moment for the team, but they took a major risk signing a coach with almost no experience.



The results have been incredible. Bayer Leverkusen are currently on 7th place in the standings and, in the Europa League, Alonso led them to the semifinals. If they win that tournament, Leverkusen could clinch a ticket for the Champions League. That would be remarkable.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230506#CMS#0012"></div>


As a consequence, Xabi Alonso has become a top name in the market. That’s why, in recent weeks, the Spanish coach sounds strongly for big clubs such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tottenham">Tottenham</a>. Bayer Leverkusen have an answer to that.



<h2>Will Xabi Alonso sign for Real Madrid or Spurs?</h2>



Fernando Carro, CEO of Bayer Leverkusen, spoke about the chances of Xabi Alonso leaving the club towards next season. Considering his spectacular results, top teams in Europe are knocking on the door. This was Carro’s message in an interview with Diario AS.







“He has a contract with us until 2024. He’s happy here and we are happy with him. We are enjoying working together and I’m sure we will be with him next season. I hope a lot more years, but in soccer you cannot look that far into the future.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230124#CMS#0025"></div>


Though Bayer Leverkusen believe Xabi Alonso will stay, a massive offer could change plans. If Carlo Ancelotti indeed leaves Real Madrid, Alonso is seen as the perfect heir. Of course, the other option looking for the former player is Tottenham. With Julian Nagelsmann out of the race for Spurs, anything could happen in the next weeks.

However, that doesn’t mean the board is not tracking potential managers for the future.
Carletto is under contract through 2024, and while many would expect him to continue beyond that date, the club is reportedly keeping an eye on other managers in case the Italian coach doesn’t stay.
<h2>Former Real Madrid player reportedly on the Merengues’ radar</h2>
According to Alejandro Alcazar of Sport, Real Madrid are monitoring the progress of Xabi Alonso as head coach. The former Spain international, who played for La Casablanca between 2009 and 2015, is currently at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen.
Alonso, a 3x World Cup veteran (winner of the 2010 tournament), had a decorated playing career, featuring for the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. He started his coaching career at La Fabrica (Real Madrid’s academy) before taking over at Real Sociedad B.
After promoting the Spanish team to the second division, Alonso took charge of Leverkusen halfway through the 2022-23 season and quickly turned their fortunes around. The Spaniard took Bayer from the deeper zone of the Bundesliga table to the top spots, with a 5-1-2 record in 8 games.
Real Madrid are not expected to make a managerial change in the foreseeable, but the front office still makes sure to be a step ahead and study the best alternatives if needed. Alonso is just getting started, but his impressive start is already being noticed.
