Leverkusen edge closer to Dublin as another record looms
BERLIN: Xabi Alonso’s rampaging Bayer Leverkusen will have an additional incentive in Thursday’s home second-leg Europa League semi-final against Roma: breaking a 59-year-old European football record.
Avoiding defeat against Roma on Thursday will not only mean a trip to Dublin for the Europa League final, it will also extend their unbeaten run to 49 games — the best mark in European football history.
A Eusebio-inspired Benfica went on a 48-game unbeaten streak between 1963 and 1965.
