Bayer Leverkusen (Germany) set a new record of being undefeated in consecutive games in the five major European soccer leagues.

Leverkusen advanced to the semifinals with a 3-1 lead in the combined score of the first and second games. With the draw on this day, Leverkusen continued undefeated in 44 consecutive official games (38 wins, 6 draws), breaking the record in this category. The previous record was 43 games (27 wins, 16 draws) made by Juventus (Italy) in the 2011-2012 season.
Leverkusen continued their undefeated streak in consecutive games with Jeremi Frimpong's equalizer in the 44th minute of the second half when they were trailing 0-1. Leverkusen coach “I don't want to stop here,” he said.
This season, Leverkusen has 25 wins and 4 draws (79 points) in 29 games in the German Bundesliga, and has confirmed the championship regardless of the results of the remaining 5 games. This is the league's first win in 120 years since its founding. In the Europa League, they recorded 8 wins and 2 draws in 10 games until the quarterfinals. Leverkusen was the only team among the 32 teams participating in the Europa League this season to win all of their games (6 wins) in the group stage. In the German Football Association Cup, a single-game tournament format, they have reached the final with 5 consecutive wins and are aiming for a 'treble' (three crowns).
Leverkusen will compete with AS Roma (Italy) for a spot in the Europa League finals for two consecutive seasons. AS Roma defeated AC Milan (Italy) 2-1 in the second leg of the quarterfinals on the 19th and advanced to the semifinals with a total score of 3-1 in the first and second games. In last season's semifinals, AS Roma advanced to the finals with a 1-0 lead in the first and second legs.
