The last nine games of the Bundesliga kicked off at the same time, and the one that attracted the most attention should be Leverkusen vs. Augsburg.
Although this game has nothing to do with the championship, relegation or European qualification, fans all over the world are very concerned about one thing - can Leverkusen achieve an undefeated season and win the championship?
As a result, the pharmaceutical company lived up to expectations, defeating the opponent 2-1 and achieving the great achievement of winning the championship undefeated in the season.
Leverkusen’s Bundesliga journey this season can be described as perfect. 8 wins, 6 draws and 90 points, scoring 89 goals and conceding 24 goals. These statistics are gorgeous enough in any season.
The strength of this Leverkusen team goes without saying. What is even more incredible is their "metaphysical" attributes.
According to statistics, Leverkusen has scored 18 goals in stoppage time in various competitions this season, many of which came when the score was behind, thus adding to the team's unbeaten record. be continued.
Let’s not talk about it far away, just look at the end of the season.

From Leverkusen's point of view, losing a game is actually not a big deal, but under such circumstances, they still play every game as a final and will never give up until the final whistle blows.
Leverkusen's own excellent strength, coupled with a firm belief in winning, as well as some unexplainable metaphysical factors, jointly created a great undefeated season. How difficult is it to win the championship undefeated in
? It is reasonable for
to win the championship based on strength. But if you want to rely on your strength to win the championship and maintain an undefeated season, it is something that can only be achieved.
In the history of the five major leagues, only three teams have accomplished this feat.
They are - AC Milan in the 1991-1992 season (22 wins and 12), Arsenal in the 2003-2004 season (26 wins and 12 draws), and Juventus in the 2011-2012 season (23 wins and 15 draws).
Why is it difficult to win the championship undefeated in the 2 season?
Teams that can compete for the league championship often have to fight on multiple fronts. Even without the pressure of the European war, they are likely to go far in the domestic cup competition. Under pressure from multiple fronts, it is difficult to go all out in the league.
assumes that the impact of multi-line operations is indeed not great, but in domestic leagues, there will always be a few teams that are likely to defeat themselves in a single matchup. In a long season, no matter how stable the team is, there may be gaps.
Another important point is that "undefeated season" itself is not a regular goal for a team.'s long unbeaten record often comes out of kicking, rather than deliberately pursuing it. Thinking about it conversely, losing a game occasionally will not have much impact on the championship situation, so "undefeated season" is something that can be met but not expected.
