During this impressive run Xabi Alonso and his men have broken records, but they can still break me. In this article we are going to take a look at four records Bayer Leverkusen can break this season, as per OneFootball.

1. First Club To Win Bundesliga, Europa League And DFB-Pokal 

It’s no secret that Xabi Alonso and his men are on course to winning the Bundesliga title this season. But that’s not all. The Black and Reds could also triumph in the Europa League and DFB-Pokal considering their form. If Leverkusen wins all those three trophies, they will become the first club in history to win the German league, DFB-Pokal and Europa League.

Whereas they made it to the quarter-finals of Europa League on Thursday after a stunning 3-2 comeback victory over Qarabag, they booked their spot in the semis of DFB-Pokal last month with an impressive win over an in-form VfB Stuttgart. The German side will be facing David Moyes’ West Ham in the quarter-final of the Europa League.

2. First Bundesliga Club To Go Unbeaten

Next on the list of records Bayer Leverkusen can break this season is being the first club in Bundesliga history to go unbeaten a whole campaign. Xabi Alonso’s men are not far from achieving this feat as they have just nine games remaining before the end of this campaign.

They will be facing Freiburg on Sunday and then have a two-week break to recharge before clashing with Hoffenheim away on 30 April. Even though they have tough matches such as against Borussia Dortmund before the end of this campaign, earning a draw in those matches will still ensure that Xabi Alonso’s side achieve this feat.

3. Best-Ever Points Tally In The Club’s History 

Bayer Leverkusen could make history this season by recording their best-ever points tally in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen managed 73 points in their best season which was 1999-00. As of now, they currently have 67 points. This means that the Black and Reds need to win just two more matches match and level their best-ever point tally. From there, they will be just one point away from breaking their best-ever points tally.

According to Leverkusen’s performance this season, it is projected that they could finish the season with over 82 points.

4. Fewest Number Of Goals Conceded In A Bundesliga Season

One thing that Bayer Leverkusen have been outstanding at since Xabi Alonso took charge is defence. Leverkusen have conceded just 16 goals since the start of this season and could break their own record of goals conceded in a single Bundesliga season if they continue to show defensive masterclass. It is projected that the Black and Reds could concede a maximum of 23 goals in the German league at the end of this campaign.

If Leverkusen maintains their scoring rate of 2.59 goals per game, they would set the record for the highest-ever tally they have managed in a single campaign.

Conclusion

Xabi Alonso has done a great job leading Bayer Leverkusen this season. With the German side already tipped to win the Bundesliga, it’s not surprising that Alonso is on the radar of top European clubs such as Bayern Munich and Liverpool. The 42-year-old has been identified as the perfect replacement for Thomas Tuchel, who will be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season due to the club’s disappointing campaign, and Jurgen Klopp, who announced he is taking a break from football management.
