![[FULL REACTION] Bayer Leverkusen complete FIRST-EVER unbeaten Bundesliga season 😱 | ESPN FC](/img/n.gif)
Don't think I've ever seen so many fans rooting for a team to keep going
I’m one of those fans!!!! 🎉
don't support any teams in Germany, but lets go!!!! as a football fan I hope they will get it
Same man! I’m a Liverpool/Barcelona fan but I want them to keep going!!
they didnt even get enough requests to sell all their 12000 tickets for the europa league final...
@@jascha2765 they are sold.and more were ordered...stop your fake news and have fun in the second divison
They are the strongest squad in the most important respect; they’re wholly connected and the intuitive chemistry is something none of the other clubs have.
Winning helps with that
There are not done yet. 3 more games. Lets win those remaining matches and make history 💥💥💥
1 more match for bundesliga
Are you an actual Leverkusen fan or just bandwagon fan ?
They just scored 12 minutes in 🎉
only 2 more now! and then Dortmund or Real in the Supercup!
Neverlosen vs power of friendship. Its gonna be a crazy super cup match.
Stuttgart is playing now
Rooting for 51 win 🖤❤️
Area 51
Stop it…….they haven’t won 50 games…….they are unbeaten. There’s a difference
@@NickyB89shut up
Bayern Munich fan here. Vizekusen was the laughing stock for almost 30 years. They were known for always falling short, every single time. Whenever they started strong into a saison, you can bet your house on them falling behind at some point of the saison.
I have to say, i never been more happy for a team to win the Bundesliga. And they fashion they did it, is just what they and their fan base deserved. A clean sweep. And i wish them form all of my heart that they can win the triple!
i really think the rotation Xabi kept on all season was a key. Great managing accompanied by great squad build up by Simon Rolfes
If Bayer finishes off the invincible season it would absolutely be an incredible accomplishment, not even Bayern during their extended reign of dominance ever pulled that off.
@@AB-jg1ny salty....
@@AB-jg1nyThose numbers are Bundesliga only. Yeah, they only play EL, but still an Amazing achievement
@@freddysquirenaranjo4859 its fact tho, even tho its still INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT.
They have done it. Just 2 more matches to go
No team has every pulled that off. Not Real Madrid, not Manchester City, not Barcelona with Messi, nobody.. ever...
The Xavi effect we wanted at Barcelona.
The Xabi effect we got at Leverkusen.
After Xavi came to Barcelona, they won la liga. Barcelona still performing well with injured players.
I feel like the run is more important than the title 😂
If they keep the run, the titles come in automatically
@@Nice-ou8ps Perugia did an invincible season and still didn't win Serie A
Yeeeessssss! Exactly 😂
@@jamesbusher4290 Leverkusen's last 2 games this season are finals, so it's either win or lose
It’s a combination of great young talents and underestimated players.
Xabi genuis. Charismatic
Arsenal "invincibles" lost 5 games that season (3 in Champions League, 1 in FA Cup, 1 in League Cup)
They can't compare to Leverkusen who are on the verge of an unbeaten treble.
Burley talks about superstars, Florian Wirtz will be a bigger superstar than any player Arsenal ever had.
That kid will be winning Ballon dors, maybe already this year.
Florian wirtz aint winning any ballon dors.
1st thing yes he's a good youth no balon d'dor tho that fail just let him develop 1st plz
@@goober776 he's 20, he will
Bigger than henry? Clearly you're joking. Wait for some time
Wirtz played way better than Bellingham in Bundesliga who is now considered a ballon dor favorite.
Leverkusen's outstanding run at the moment, I'm excited to see what it looks like in the upcoming Champions League. The coach remains the same and the team is more or less unchanged because they can keep the players. Grimaldo, Wirtz etc
Will be exciting 😄
They have made history already
I want nobody to leave that club so then they can go up against My Team in the CHAMPIONS 😤😁
Let's go Leverkusen! ❤
After their win against Qarabag I think in the UEL KO where it was a close as twins siblings coming out of the womb together, and some fuxking way they kept it calm, controlled, and passed the ball around the outside of the box. Grimaldo found that space to send the ball and Schick without fail put it in the net. I was a believer not in the black magic but in the mentality. Even in the NFL or the NBA you dont see cohesiveness like this, you dont see how an entire squad from the players on the field to the ones on the sideline to the coach sticking together til the final whistle blows and making it happen. Typing this makes me cry a lil because I thought only Madrid used the Power of Friendship.
Truly remarkable
51 unbeaten ❤️🖤 done 🏆
Superb achievement. Even Pep or Klopp cannot achieve this with this Leverkusen team.
Awesome achievement really. Unprecedented even without accounting for the lack of resources.
But the Question remains- are they as dynamic and entertaining as ETH’s Man United???
They still haven't done it tho...I remember a few seasons ago Barça were on to go unbeaten and then a had a crazy 5-4 defeat away from home against a bang average team on MATCHDAY 37.........Just a few seasons ago, Sporting in Portugal were on for it to, and then lost in the VERY LAST MATCHDAY, away to Benfica. It's very hard to go unbeaten. I really hope they do it.
2 more games to go
They did it flawless.
Yes I remember that season 😑 messi was left out the squad and wasn’t even on the bench that day when they lost
It's incredible to see how this story turned into some kind of global Running-Gag especially after yet another decisive goal in stoppage time. All those Social Media memes, every random dude wants them - a fairly random team in their own right tbh - to keep their streak going. One down, two to go. And quite frankly: they way they were playing, dominating all season - I just can't see them not finishing it off against Atalanta and Kaiserslautern. An entire season unbeaten in three competitions. That's just insane.
Ahah, Craig at the end.
Difference is (all comps)
They made history, alright.
It’s not that they’re undefeated it’s the way they’ve gone about it 5+ injury time wins incredible.
To be completely honest, it's a phenomenon... That's just it!
A true legend of bvb had his last home game 😢
And they just scored 12 minutes in🎉🎉🎉
Bayer Leverkusen have to ways of how the matches go: they either score in the first half, which means that it is game over for the other team (I think Leverkusen have won all matches in which they have taken the lead), or they are a bit wasteful with their chances, the other team scores in the second half and Leverkusen have to score in injury time.
Leverkusen's invincible will be BETTER than Arsenal's overrated iNviNciBLeS..
Bundesliga this season is much stronger than Prem in 03/04
Quite possible, but again they did play europa league think that helps a lot with managing players.
@@AB-jg1ny BS!! Prem is overrated..Has always been and even more so from 90s to 2005
@@AB-jg1ny I don't remember Aresnal losing 4 key players in the middle off the season due to an Afcon and asia cup. People forget the challenges leverkusen faced this season. Btw Stuttgart is the best 3rd place in Bundesliga history right now and Bayern was the best 2nd place after the half of the season (pointwise). Its not like there arn't any other strong teams this season. Also Dortmund played quite well in all games they could give away the possesion, which makes a reasonable amout of really tough games during the season. Prem was not really peaking 03/04 aswell, United was the only team who reached the cl final in the decade leading up to the invincible season. Going unbeaten in Budesliga is already comparable to arsenals run, let alone doing it in 2 more competitions. (Arsenal lost to Middelsborough in the cup that season, any oponent can be the trippingstone, thats why its never been done before).
Leverkusens invincibles is better than arsenals because
they are not even close to Dortmund and Bayern in star power,
They have more wins arsenal did
And they're unbeaten in all competitions.
@@AB-jg1nyyou’re just a leverkusen hater I’ve seen you in other comments talking bad about them
Xabi should try tottenham next 🤣
The unstoppable force (Alonso) vs immovable object (spurs)
Elbows flying about Shaka😂😂😂😂😂😂
Leverkrusen can achieve as an underdog what juggernaut throwing money out of the window from Oligarchs, Saudis, Qataris and all other historic billionaires in Football including Perez have ever dreamed of would be a big slap in the face for them! I really hope that they will win the triple - Bundesliga - DFB Pokal - UEFA Europa League
Has nobody at espn thought to add "FC" using that ESPN font? Sry, had a couple tonight hahah
Xabi guzu working
Yaadi
Lol you can know when some Jamaican comment. But it's true tho the xabi need to tell some other team his guzu man
Yes far better than invincible
Bayer to win 4+ tomorrow ?
It is 2-1 bayer
@@mehedi8331 I know I’m paying attention. My question was whether they were going to win by four +
Imagine dominating a league with one 1 UCL Finalist and 1 UCL semi finalist.
They just scored a second against Augsburg 👍. Will go unbeaten in the Bundesliga.
Simply fantastic!
@espn extra time question for Stevie and for Shaka.
"Who is more likely to do an 'INFALLIBLE' season (ie winning every single league game)
Xabi Alonso or Mikel Arteta?"
UNBELIEVABLE
They just did invisible is complete
2-1
Xhaka becoming invincible, at Leverkusen. lol
Why is trappatoni Making home made soda??? Can someone make sense of it.
Leverkusen is a better club than Barcelona 😭
MU, Chelsea, Spurs, Inter, AC etc 😂
😂😂😂 Bundesliga fans, I had no idea they're this arrogant..
Look at them after just 1 good fluke Season and they think they're the best 😂
That's not a Leverkusen fan...he wasn't here last season...but by this mid season he became one...or so he thinks.
How much champions league dem have 😮😮😮😮😮
why the need to disrespect barcelona rather than giving props to leverkusen? one of the top 3 teams right now, incredible season!
i think all german club fan should go to UCL final and UEFA cup to suport bayer and dortmund.
2 games to go
Leverkusen has Xabi Alonso
United has Ten Hag...nuff said
🤬🤬🤬
Barcelona almost went unbeaten in La Lifga in the 2018/19 season, but they took their foot off the gas after they had the league won, and Ernesto Valverde didn't give much importance to going unbeaten for the entire season. He didn't field a strong team against Levante in their penultimate match of the league, and they lost 5-4 with no Messi on the field.
That was 2017/18 but yeah that season hurt seeing that loss to Levante
Real madrid is also nearly unbeaten this year. Only lost 1 league match and are on to scoring 99 points which is second highest i think.
@@ShubhamMishrabro Third highest. Both Real and Barcelona had a 100 points season.
@@wogna96 they're joint first that's why i said second
@@ShubhamMishrabro Yeah makes sense. I thought of it like in sports, if 2 people are first there is no second place.
Xabi alonso and mikel arteta are from the same town same as unai 3 title winners
Thanks for pointing that out I never knew that
I guess that city is blessed
So help out a newb here, if Leverkusen plays 0-0 against Atalanta, and loses in overtime, does that game count as a loss or a draw?
In overtime it counts as a loss, on penalties it'd count as a draw because you're unbeaten in open play and penalty shootouts are accepted to be pretty much a lottery.
Curse of Harry Kane did it.
Xabi's Real Madrid mentality🙂
That streaks coming to an end in a couple weeks boys … Hala Madrid !
I wish Leverkusen played against Real Madrid in some competition this year. Lol
They could play against each other at this year's Uefa Super Cup.
If they both win their UCL and Europa League final, they will play the UEFA Supercup in Warsaw on August 14. 2024.
Unfortunately they'd be going against UEFA and refs
That would have been blockbuster....in my mind I'm picturing the back and forth WWE wrestling script for Stone Cold vs The Rock matches.
I would argue leverkusen vs man city would be a superior match. Man city is still better than Real Madrid in my eyes. Madrid always plays a “certain way” against city. Man city stays true to their footballing style and philosophy every match even if they lose.
I think they will loose one cup final🤷♂️... but even still wow😍😍🔥🔥🔥
Next year Barcelona will win the treble unbeaten, trust Laporte and Xavi our brother
Joke 😂 you will not win anything
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Xavi Alonso future Real Madrid Manager ❤ .Vamos
They'll achieve the unbeaten run
Augsburg have everything to play for. To spoil the party big time....but they won't
neverlosen just won zhe BL without loss - impressiv. But two games more and they have gone a whole season unbeaten. since european football has some club archieved this? but against bologna will be a tough path to glorie.
It’s Atalanta Bergamo
Stewart Robson the number 1 hate on all Bundesliga and German Football 🙄
Xavi.
The cooler Xabi.
I believe best Achievement is porto win champions League with Mourinho.
Leverkusen is also good achievement but they have not go against the very best.
That is subjective. The year Porto won the UCL, they did have a good team. As does Leverkusen. You can always have debates comparing UCL with Porto Vs 1st Bundesliga trophy ever against Bayern & Dortmund.
@@galactico7194
Well its bigger achievement to win against the very best and not just best in one country.
Remembered when Archie said real madrid wouldn't be able to compete in the champions league this season without a recognize striker
A bit off topic?
He's a sport journalist he is paid to predict things sometimes he gets things right other times he is wrong not really something to make a big deal out of it plus it's off topic to this video.
1888 hmmm
Doesn't change the fact Jeremie Flopoo has less goals than Antony this season
It's not just Augsburg, Atalanta and Kaiserslautern can stop Leverkusen, too.
Not in the league they can't. That's how absurd their streak is - the unbeaten streaks of the other clubs they showed were only for the respective leagues.
@@rm0986 Who cares. If you are unbeaten in the league, but in the meantime you lose in other competitions, there is no "streak", it's not consecutive. That's why it was Benfica that held the record before Leverkusen.
Juventus and Milan both came close to having an unbeaten season, as did Perugia but they all lost in the cup (Perugia also didn't win the title). So did Ajax in 1995 and Dinamo Bucuresti in 1992. Star Belgrade had only one loss to Hoffenheim in their "uneaten" season. Debrecen, I think, in 2012 had an unbeaten season, but they didn't play in Europe. So besides Debrecen I can't think of any other club going unbeaten for the entire season in recent years. Leverkusen can do this. They've already beaten the record for most consecutive undefeated games. Now they can go unbeaten for the entire season. Juventus, Milan, Arsenal and so on didn't do either. Augsburg, Atalanta and Kaiserslautern can stop Leverkusen for the unbeaten season.
@@CharlesOffdensen the fact that we're comparing an occasional top 4 Bundesliga side with Juve, Milan and Arsenal's invincibles shows again how outrageously far above their usual standard they're playing. Even if they were to lose to Kaiserslautern or Atalanta after beating Augsburg, going unbeaten in the Bundesliga is still a record, and an absurd one at that - even Bayern never managed that, not in their sextuple/treble years and not when they went out of cup and UCL early. Saying "who cares" about that is utterly disrespectful to the achievement it is.
@@rm0986 We shouldn't be comparing them. Juventus, Arsenal and Milan never had invincible seasons. That's BS and nobody cares about that. Comparing them to Leverkusen is disrespectful. Milan and Juventus didn't play in Europe either.
@@CharlesOffdensen You're a confusing person to talk with. You brought those clubs up for comparison, now you're saying we shouldn't be comparing them. Tbh I don't understand what it is you're trying to say.
Xavi is the heir apparent to Pep, real deal.
ummm... surely you meant Xabi, right??
@@winebuyah yes Xabi good correction. Xavi is NOT the heir apparent but let’s see over time.
Even GOD cant Beat LEVERKUSEN ❤
Barcelona having money to referees for decades with no consequence is a bigger achievement
City would tear them apart, just sayin...
without Bayer the big Pharma Giant they wouldn´t even play in the Bundesliga.
Yeah so huge 25m per year Sponsoring compared to the 200m + for Bayern AG from Audi, Telekom or the 75m for Wolfsburg from VW...learn your facts.
next year they'll be 5th
A very unselfish team, always seem to find an open man or willing runner
Fraudiola would never be able to accomplish something like this
Atalanta will end it All Mark My Words
How is Dortmund going to win the champions league while it’s going to play in the Europa league next season? 😂
Dortmund will play CL next season, as germany has a 5th spot secured.
Are u slow
😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣
All soccer fans are behind those loveable losers!
Archie rintit is a poor reporter
Suddenly the Bundesliga is strong and competitive. We forget that Bayern typically wins it every season.
I was going to get the first comment
Leverkusen if they go unbeaten will be much better than Arsenal's iNviNciBLeS..
They're going for a treble while Arsenal won just 1
No one should dare bring up that ludicrous narrative "Arsenal did it in prem" "Prem is tHe hArDeSt leAgUe" that's the biggest bunch of BS I've ever seen..
Prem is an overrated league with a huge propaganda branding to overhype their league
Prem was SH*T from the 90s to 2005 anyways
Leverkusen aren't competing in the Champions League.
@@OGCHuila Aresnal didn't lose 4 key players out of an 24 fieldplayer squad to Afcon in the middle off the season, and leverkusen hasn't lost to middelsborough during this season, doing it in all competions is a different level
87 points and invincible. Liverpool didn’t win the league with 97 points
34 games in Bundesliga vs 38 games in EPL.
Einstein pl has 38 games and bundesliga has 34 games
Average PL fan:
1 season wonder tin pot club ..successful consistent big clubs i.e Liverpool, man united, real madrid, barca, Bayern, Dortmund, ac milan, juventus. Thats real history 😆😆
Yeah.. Dortmund AG and Bayern AG...good Joke.
books by colour not my topic is crazy... 😂😂
Xabi > Xavi 😂😂
