Leverkusen Extend Unbeaten Streak to 49 Games, Draw with Roma to Reach Final

Leverkusen Set for Battle with Atalanta in Europa League Final in Dublin

Bayer Leverkusen achieved a historic milestone on Thursday, setting a new European record of 49 consecutive games unbeaten in all competitions. The German side secured the achievement with a late draw against Roma in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final, earning a spot in the final against Atalanta. Leverkusen's unbeaten streak is a testament to their remarkable consistency and resilience under head coach Xabi Alonso. The former midfielder has transformed the team since taking over, leading them to their first Bundesliga title in 12 years and now a place in the Europa League final. The draw with Roma was a tense affair, with Leverkusen needing a late goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi to level the tie. The result sends Leverkusen to the final in Dublin, where they will face an in-form Atalanta side who defeated RB Leipzig in the other semi-final.

Leverkusen's record-breaking unbeaten streak is a fitting culmination to a remarkable season for the club. Having ended Bayern Munich's 11-year reign as Bundesliga champions, they now have the chance to add another major trophy to their cabinet. With Xabi Alonso at the helm, Leverkusen will be confident of overcoming Atalanta and lifting the Europa League trophy for the first time in their history.
