An unrepeatable season was held by Bayer Leverkusenwho became the first team in Germany to not only win an unbeaten league, but do the double without losing a single time.
In fact, it was a step away from the unbeaten treble, however, Atalanta he defeated her 3-0 in his final Europa Leagueputting a stop to the unbeaten streak of 51 matches.
The architect of this success, Xabi Alonsoin an interview about this magical year, commented that not winning the treble it will improve him as a coach.
“It was a terrible journey, very demanding, but from the first weeks of the event I had a good feeling that we would have a good season. I wasn’t so optimistic that we would fight until the last week but I did think that we would have a good season. Within the team we weren’t talking so much about the undefeated streak but about the spectacular numbers we had“, he initially said and continued:
“We are proud of our record of 51 games without defeat. We need some time to take it all in, to analyze it. It’s part of our job to manage defeats, it wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. I have the feeling that the match against Atalanta will make me a better coach, a better manager than if we had won the treble“, while adding:
“What is certain is that you don’t forget these games and you can use them for the future. Right now, it hurts us. It hurts us a lot but I have a feeling that this defeat will be more useful for my progress than if we won the treble“, were, characteristically, his words Xabi Alonso.
