Bayer Leverkusen Continue Record-Breaking Unbeaten Run in Europe
Leverkusen Extend Streak to 22 Games After Impressive Draw
Xabi Alonso's Team Remains Unstoppable in Continental Competition
Bayer 04 Leverkusen's incredible unbeaten run in European competition continued on Thursday, March 9, as they drew 2-2 with VfB Stuttgart at the BayArena.
Robert Andrich's first-half strike put Leverkusen ahead, but Stuttgart equalized through Silas Katompa Mvumpa before Gonzalo Castro gave the visitors the lead. However, Andrich struck again late in the game to secure a valuable point for the hosts.
The result extends Leverkusen's unbeaten streak in Europe to 22 games, a record for a German club. They have not lost in continental competition since a 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Europa League in August 2020.
Leverkusen's impressive form in Europe has been a major factor in their success this season. They have reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they will face Rangers, and are well-placed to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Xabi Alonso, who took over as Leverkusen manager in October 2021, has been credited with transforming the team's fortunes. Under his guidance, they have become a more attacking and exciting side, and their record in Europe is testament to their progress.
