Xabi Alonso Sets Unique Record in Bundesliga

In the 23rd round of the German Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen played away against Holstein Kiel. The "Pharmaceuticals" won 2-0, and this match became a historic one for their coach, Xabi Alonso.

The Spanish coach became the first manager in Bundesliga history whose team remained unbeaten in 28 consecutive away matches. With this achievement, he surpassed Udo Lattek, who went unbeaten in 27 away games in the 1990s.

Leverkusen's last away defeat in the Bundesliga was recorded in the final round of the 2022/23 season, on May 27, 2023, when they lost to Bochum.

In the league standings, Leverkusen trails Bayern Munich by five points, with Vincent Kompany's team set to play their 23rd-round match tomorrow, February 23, against Eintracht Frankfurt.
