Bayer Neverlusen, led by Xabi Alonso, returned to being Bayer Leverkusen after their defeat in the Europa League Final. Throughout the 23-24 season, they remained unbeaten, with an impressive 51-game winning streak, which ultimately earned them the invincible Bundesliga title. This extraordinary run, considering their previous status as a mid-table team, led fans to dub them as Bayer Neverlusen. Their undefeated streak, the longest in European football history, included some remarkable late comebacks orchestrated by Bayern in the dying minutes of matches. However, their triumphant streak came to an end when Bayer Leverkusen was defeated by Atalanta BC in the Europa League Final. Unfortunately, there was no miracle comeback this time.
Bayer Leverkusen, the strong favorites to win the Europa League trophy, entered the finals with an unbeaten record since May 2023. However, their hopes of achieving an unprecedented undefeated treble were dashed by Atalanta BC. Ademola Lookman, the striker for Atalanta BC, put on a remarkable performance by scoring a hattrick in the Europa League Final, securing the victory for his team. Despite the fans’ hopes for a miraculous comeback, which they had witnessed many times before this season, Bayer Leverkusen was unable to turn the tide and suffered a devastating 3-0 defeat in a match of immense importance. This outcome revealed that Bayer Leverkusen is not invincible after all.
After an impressive season of dominant football, fans worldwide began to question if Bayer Leverkusen could be defeated. However, in their 52nd game, the German side’s undefeated treble dreams came to an end. Despite this setback, Bayer Leverkusen remains a strong contender in the upcoming DFB Pokal final on May 25th against FCK. They are still seen as the favorites to win the tournament, despite their recent loss to Atalanta.
