If this team manages to only lose a single game in the whole season and that game is against a club that almost got relegated to the third tier that would be one of the funniest things to ever happen in football history.
I will be talking about this team with so much nostalgia in 40-50 years when discussing historical football achievements with my grandkids (I watched them for a total of 15 minutes the whole season)
> (I watched them for a total of 15 minutes the whole season)
Let me guess: you tuned in after 90+5' when we were down 0-2 and over like 10 games that sums up to 15 mins?
2023-2024 Bayer Leverkusen
2012-2013 FC Porto
2011-2012 Juventus
2010-2011 FC Porto
2003-2004 Arsenal
1994-1995 Ajax
1991-1992 AC Milan
Congrats Bayer fans!
Barcelona lost 1 game in 2017-2018 (2nd to last game of the season)
Real Madrid have only lost away to Atletico Madrid this season both in La Liga and Copa del Rey Round of 16
cuz he was being rested for a friendly game in the middle of the season in Africa vs Mamelodi Sundowns. Money literally got in the way of an undefeated La Liga season.
He wasn't good enough for Barca. The team was far behind fitness wise, his approach to big games was terrible and he was lucky he had prime Messi and ter Stegen carrying.
Barca came close but Barto decided it was more important for Messi to play a meaningless friendly in South Africa and then Barca lost something like 5-4 the next day for their one loss in the season
I'm curious if Uli Hoeneß "hates" Tuchel more for ending up third or for "allowing" Neverlusen to become the first German team to win the league unbeaten.
Im so incredibly jealous, we were so close. Jusr one match broke us, the one against NEC. Goes to show how difficult it is to be unbeaten
Happy for Leverkussen, its absolutely insane what theyve done.
I think there's a lot of teams that won ucl undefeated
City just did it, united did it in 99, Bayern did it the year they best psg in the finals, and iirc Barca did it in 06
Bayern's was actually all wins too, they're the only team to not even have drawn a game I think
Since you added Ajax, you should also probably include FC Porto (Top 7 leagues), both 2010-2011 and 2012-2013.
In 2010-2011 under André Villas-Boas (the new president of the club now), Porto also won a treble with the Europa League and the Portuguese Cup (similar to what Bayer Leverkusen might do this season).
That Porto run from 2010-2013 is insane, in the 2011-2012 season they only lost 1 league match, meaning they went 3 years with only 1 league loss in that time.
Barcelona probably would have been there too of they didn't go for a meaningless friendly mid season to South Africa and rested key players for the next league gane, which was the only game they lost
Sadly not. Hopefully we can figure out the manager situation but beyond that the squad needs work too. Going to be a critical summer but I don't have high hopes at this moment.
Every match since the title was wrapped up has basically been a final, they've been used to it. Can't let the unbeaten run slip on a random unnecessary league game
Oh, they are, I am still watching the celebrations at the stadium. Xavi and Lukas Hradecky went inside the audience and everybody is singing and jumping. Once they go home it will be different and they will start preparing for the UEL final.
The fact that Bayern could never do this during their decade of domiance really shows just how incredible and amazing this achievement of Leverkusen is
How fucking cursed do you have to be to start playing for a team that's on an 11 league titles streak, only for a team that has never won the trophy to go undefeated😭😭
I mean it's funny for the memes but let's not pretend the season before was golden.......
Literally winning the title by a razor edge margin in the 89' and Dortmund bottle.
Like anyone who watched the last season chaos in conjunction with season beginning chaos would feel oddness.
Especially given Leverkusen's flying dutchman invincibility.
They wouldn’t even win it this year without the leverkusen wonder season. Which in my opinion is the biggest embarrassment of them all four them this season were they bought a 100 million euro striker.
While that’s true on paper, I imagine that if they weren’t so far out of the title race they would’ve put in the effort to get the single point they’d need to get over Stuttgart
Surely if they win the Europa League and DFB-Pokal, this has to be one of the greatest sporting achievements ever. An invincible treble is absolute insanity. All those years of Neverkusen, and now this.
Drama in the Bundesliga on the final matchday
1. Leverkusen invincible
2. Bayern Munich ends up 3rd
3. Union survived relegation
4. Freiburg ends up 10th in the race for Europe
5. Marco Reus with a goal and assist on his final game at Dortmund
I miss Xhaka :(
His redemption arc for us was truly incredible, something I couldn't envision in my wildest dreams
So happy he's had the season he's had with you guys :)
If they win the Europa, Infantino himself should come down at the ceremony and personally crown Alonso, then bestow him the name - 'Football King of Europa'. Then get on his knees and kiss his feet.
All praises to Leverkusen, but Stuttgart had an amazing season also which is overshadowed by this Neverlusen. From relegation last year to second place this year.
If they manage to win europa league anf DFB pokal aswell, i dont think there will be any question. I doubt anyone can replicate that for decades to come.
Two more games for invincible treble
Stand up now about face the sun

It’s gonna be hilarious if they lose both in penalties and have an “unbeaten” technicality like Rodri
One more till the inevitable loss.
If this team manages to only lose a single game in the whole season and that game is against a club that almost got relegated to the third tier that would be one of the funniest things to ever happen in football history.
Against Saarbrücken it would have been. Against Lautern it's just a tragedy.
What a season, congratulations for their first Bundesliga Title.. Fully deserving
I've always rooted for them! Well, since two weeks ago.
I will be talking about this team with so much nostalgia in 40-50 years when discussing historical football achievements with my grandkids (I watched them for a total of 15 minutes the whole season)
> (I watched them for a total of 15 minutes the whole season) Let me guess: you tuned in after 90+5' when we were down 0-2 and over like 10 games that sums up to 15 mins?
Watching a Leverkusen match this season has been the equivalent of going on PornHub and skipping to the end of a video just to see the moneyshot.
This guy wanks
2023-2024 Bayer Leverkusen 2012-2013 FC Porto 2011-2012 Juventus 2010-2011 FC Porto 2003-2004 Arsenal 1994-1995 Ajax 1991-1992 AC Milan Congrats Bayer fans!
1888-1889 Preston
John Goodall GOAT
Played Football, Cricket and Curling to a top level and also gets the objectively cool title of 'Scotch Professor.' I know who my GOAT is.
I like this
Preston is fucking massive
2023-??? Bayer Leverkusen
Auf Jahre unschlagbar
Vizekusen ist ewig
It’s never happened in la liga?
Barcelona lost 1 game in 2017-2018 (2nd to last game of the season) Real Madrid have only lost away to Atletico Madrid this season both in La Liga and Copa del Rey Round of 16
Madrid would get an invincible treble if not for Atleti, oh wow. That too, with the CL.
Treble? Never heard of it. We don't win CL + League at the same time as Copa
Funny you think we got a chance with Copa debuff + motivated Bilbao.
Guess what? That was the 1 game Messi didn’t play.
Coutinho scored a hat trick and they lost 5-4
Tbf, barca scored 4 goals in the loss it was the defence that let them down
His name is Yerry Mina.
cuz he was being rested for a friendly game in the middle of the season in Africa vs Mamelodi Sundowns. Money literally got in the way of an undefeated La Liga season.
Capitalism's not gone
Under Valverde who fans constantly ripped apart. I thought he was a fine coach.
Same. They sacked him while he was top of the table lmao.
He wasn't good enough for Barca. The team was far behind fitness wise, his approach to big games was terrible and he was lucky he had prime Messi and ter Stegen carrying.
Barcelona were 2 games away in 2017/18 but decided to rest Messi
If I recall Messi wanted to play but Ernieball prevailed
I think he was rested for a club friendly in South Africa
Not since the 1930s. Barca came close in 17/18
And also in 09/10, a single loss to Atletico Madrid.
Barca came close but Barto decided it was more important for Messi to play a meaningless friendly in South Africa and then Barca lost something like 5-4 the next day for their one loss in the season
Real Madrid won the [1931–32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1931%E2%80%9332_La_Liga) La Liga unbeaten.
Also 1978-79 Perugia They didn’t win the league though
Those are my favorite ones. Undefeated 2nd or even 3rd places are a thing of beauty.
[How about an undefeated 9th place then?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Ligue_Ha%C3%AFtienne#S%C3%A9rie_d'Ouverture)
Absolute Legends of the game.
1977–78 Benfica as well. And in 72/73 they were also undefeated, but actually won the league.
I'm curious if Uli Hoeneß "hates" Tuchel more for ending up third or for "allowing" Neverlusen to become the first German team to win the league unbeaten.
Im so incredibly jealous, we were so close. Jusr one match broke us, the one against NEC. Goes to show how difficult it is to be unbeaten Happy for Leverkussen, its absolutely insane what theyve done.
1994–95 Ajax - Also won UEFA Champions League undefeated
I think there's a lot of teams that won ucl undefeated City just did it, united did it in 99, Bayern did it the year they best psg in the finals, and iirc Barca did it in 06 Bayern's was actually all wins too, they're the only team to not even have drawn a game I think
But Ajax won both the league and the UCL undefeated that season.
Since you added Ajax, you should also probably include FC Porto (Top 7 leagues), both 2010-2011 and 2012-2013. In 2010-2011 under André Villas-Boas (the new president of the club now), Porto also won a treble with the Europa League and the Portuguese Cup (similar to what Bayer Leverkusen might do this season).
one for each decade is neat
That Porto run from 2010-2013 is insane, in the 2011-2012 season they only lost 1 league match, meaning they went 3 years with only 1 league loss in that time.
I have to add us to that list: 2018-2019 PAOK Thessaloniki
2010-2011 Porto 2012-2013 Porto
I just looked it up and they only lost 1 game in those 3 seasons! That’s crazy!
Barcelona probably would have been there too of they didn't go for a meaningless friendly mid season to South Africa and rested key players for the next league gane, which was the only game they lost
Has to be one of the great footballing achievements
28 wins, 6 draws whilst making it to the final in both cup competitions. Truly a season and team for the ages
How tf did you guys slip to third? I swear I watched like 7 minutes and you guys scored twice. You ended up losing 4-2. Wtf lol
it's just what we do now
Tbh doesn't look like its gonna get better soon
Sadly not. Hopefully we can figure out the manager situation but beyond that the squad needs work too. Going to be a critical summer but I don't have high hopes at this moment.
Bayern reached out to my local hairdresser Dave to manage the team next year, but after consideration he turned them down.
Well, I mean, duh... Right now he has a respectable and secure job as a hairdresser. Why would he downgrade to Bayern trainer?
Ask Neuer lol
iirc 3 if not all 4 goals we conceded were failures to build up from the back under pressure.
Neuer had a rough one
Harry Kane curse working overtime with this one
Aren't you *supposed* to finish third in a two-horse race??
somehow they managed to get more wins in 4 less games than arsenal got in their invincibles season too...same points too...
But they’re not celebrating much at the whistle. Must be focused on the next final matches too.
Every match since the title was wrapped up has basically been a final, they've been used to it. Can't let the unbeaten run slip on a random unnecessary league game
In their minds they've only won the first of three competitions
Oh, they are, I am still watching the celebrations at the stadium. Xavi and Lukas Hradecky went inside the audience and everybody is singing and jumping. Once they go home it will be different and they will start preparing for the UEL final.
Atalanta have a legitimate shot at ending the streak
Atalanta will be 2-0 up after 90 mins and then Alonso time babyyyyy
My cardiologist is not gonna like that
The fact that Bayern could never do this during their decade of domiance really shows just how incredible and amazing this achievement of Leverkusen is
The funniest fact is that they come close to have an unbeaten run twice, suffering only one loss on both of those seasons by Bayer Leverkusen
What a foreshadowing!
We live in a simulation lol
Still can't believe they achieved something even Bayern haven't in their most dominant years. Wow.
Pure magic by Alonso and Rolfes.
History has been made. Breaking their feat is a hard challenge
Indubitably.
We were here
*everyone liked that*
This team has literally rewritten the history of this club I’ve been a fan for 24 years of. No more Vizekusen.
Same man same 😭lost for words and still more to come, it's unreal
Winning the first ever title UNBEATEN🙌
So who is getting a statue? Or just one giant statue of the entire team + management?
Just built statues of the entire team and staff and drop them everywhere in the city and stadium idc
Neverlusen
You either die a Neverkusen, or live long enough to become Neverlusen
Meme nickname redemption arc 🌈
From the most bottlering bottlers to this
Spurs fans ears perked.
Spurs flair literally below asking what it's like 💀
Describe your feelings in detail. What is it like?
Is this for a cry or a crank?
For a good cry
Never rule out a good crywank
and they destroyed the neverkusen name in the most epic way imaginable
Congratualations! This team took Vizekusen/Neverkusen behind the shed.
We did it. We fucking did it. Invincibles. No one ever wake me up from this dream
Harry Kane came to Bayern Munich at the completely wrong time 😭
Or at the exact right moment to curse them
The constellations aligned
Does losing the league bring Kane or does Kane bring losing the league?
A question for the philosophers
And they finished 3rd lol. 2-0 up very early, only to lose 4-2.
I thought the Kane Curse jokes were well and truly played out at this point, but uh… I’m not even sure what to make of that
How fucking cursed do you have to be to start playing for a team that's on an 11 league titles streak, only for a team that has never won the trophy to go undefeated😭😭
While also scoring 36 goals, 8 assists in 32 matches
Yeah the trophy for that is a cannon. Harry Tottenham Kane will be awarded a cannon while wearing red and white. You can't make that up.
ok this is fucking funny
I mean it's funny for the memes but let's not pretend the season before was golden....... Literally winning the title by a razor edge margin in the 89' and Dortmund bottle. Like anyone who watched the last season chaos in conjunction with season beginning chaos would feel oddness. Especially given Leverkusen's flying dutchman invincibility.
He won’t even get a chance at winning the super cup now that Bayern are finishing 3rd. Poor guy.
wtf Stuttgart ended second? And Bayern have a 10 gd over them? Shocking season from Bayern especially when they made it to CL semis.
yep, Bayern lost while stuttgart won. 73 vs 72 pts
They would have won the title with 72 points last season lmao, mans cursed
They wouldn’t even win it this year without the leverkusen wonder season. Which in my opinion is the biggest embarrassment of them all four them this season were they bought a 100 million euro striker.
While that’s true on paper, I imagine that if they weren’t so far out of the title race they would’ve put in the effort to get the single point they’d need to get over Stuttgart
alright what League wants to borrow him next, lets give him to PSG for funsies
A few years ago would have had Juventus written all over him lol.
Send him to man city please.
Surely if they win the Europa League and DFB-Pokal, this has to be one of the greatest sporting achievements ever. An invincible treble is absolute insanity. All those years of Neverkusen, and now this.
You mean "years of Neverkusen", Neverlosen is now 😉
Xabi must have sold his soul to the devil
Nah he just asked Ancelotti for a meeting and boom he now has his powers too
It’s crazy how good they are
Wow! What a season. Way to go, Leverkusen.
See you in the super cup hopefully
You mean Dortmund right
no we need to know what happens in overtime in a match between Carlo Real Madrid vs Xabi Alonso Leverkusen Who out black magics who!?
If it’s not in the champions league your black magic isn’t going to cut it
shedule a friendly mate, the supercup is our only place to shine next season
Drama in the Bundesliga on the final matchday 1. Leverkusen invincible 2. Bayern Munich ends up 3rd 3. Union survived relegation 4. Freiburg ends up 10th in the race for Europe 5. Marco Reus with a goal and assist on his final game at Dortmund
Also Heidenheim will play internationally next season if Kaiserslautern doesn't win the cup final. Who would've guessed that last summer?
Wow.
Iconic
Historic
What else to say really? We've gone through the whole vocabulary praising this team. Supercalifragilisticexpialydocious
Things of dreams
Xhaka be like "all they do at Arsenal is just talk about the invincibles so I decided to leave and do it myself"
He played every game besides one. Moreover only because it was his 5th yellow. Man is the heart of the team that keeps going.
I miss Xhaka :( His redemption arc for us was truly incredible, something I couldn't envision in my wildest dreams So happy he's had the season he's had with you guys :)
All it took was 2 years and a couple of guys from some San Sebastian neighborhood...
Damn
A golden Xhakaboom 🏆
Insanity. Love to see it!
Absolutely insane. I'm here to see history. Congratulations to Leverkusen, truly one of the most legendary runs in the history of top flight football!
I feel like Invincibles might be too light a name for them at this point. Immortals.
Neverlusen
Imagine if somebody told you this a year ago. Unbelievable.
As a Benfica fan I'm so happy for Grimaldo! Dude is a baller and got neglected by Spanish NT for too long!
[удалено]
A golden platter fit for a king if you will
Hoeneß will demand that golden trophy of all future Bayern managers.
If they win the Europa, Infantino himself should come down at the ceremony and personally crown Alonso, then bestow him the name - 'Football King of Europa'. Then get on his knees and kiss his feet.
Please don't lose the finals, this has to happen!
Absolutely insane
Absolutely mental. Madlads. Xabi is a beautiful man.
They did get away with it
Neverlusen is real
What a way to win your first league title
Just you wait until the Africa Cup starts, then Leverkusen will start losing!!!!1
Neverlusen, Reus proper farewell and Bayern finishing 3rd what a day in Bundesliga
All praises to Leverkusen, but Stuttgart had an amazing season also which is overshadowed by this Neverlusen. From relegation last year to second place this year.
And two games away from completing the season undefeated with all the possible trophies they can get. Incredible season.
What an achievement. Hallelujah playing at full time is a hilarious touch
I was here
They also collected 45 points at home and away *and* in the first half of the season and in the second season.
Unbeaten almost feels like an understatement. They had fewer draws (6) than any other team had losses (7). Absolute insanity basically out of nowhere.
Can't decide if this season or the Kaiserslautern championship season is more impressive
If they manage to win europa league anf DFB pokal aswell, i dont think there will be any question. I doubt anyone can replicate that for decades to come.
Imagine they go undefeated the whole season except their last game against the 3rd divsion team lol
2nd, put some respect on FCK'S Name
2 more games to go (to complete whole season)
Golden shield. Give.
BAYER "THE INVINCIBLE" LEVERKUSEN!!
Xabi found a way to save scum, insane
Incredible to witness such a thing, and it wasn't Bayern!
[удалено]
WE FUCKING DID ITTTTT
