Xabi Alonso makes history on Leverkusen farewell day

On the night of May 17, Leverkusen drew 2-2 with Mainz in round 34 of the Bundesliga, thereby establishing the longest unbeaten away streak in the club's history.

An emotional draw against Mainz helped Leverkusen end the 2024/25 season as runners-up in the Bundesliga, 13 points behind champions Bayern Munich.

According to Opta , Leverkusen have gone 34 consecutive away games unbeaten, an unprecedented feat in the history of the BayArena team. Since losing 0-3 to Bochum on May 27, 2023, Leverkusen have gone two consecutive seasons without losing away from home, a feat achieved by Xabi Alonso and his team.

In addition, Leverkusen have lost just three of their 68 Bundesliga games in the last two seasons. All three of their defeats have come this season.

Although unable to defend the title in the 2024/25 season, Leverkusen still won the sympathy of fans thanks to their dedicated playing style. The reward for Florian Wirtz and his teammates is a ticket to the League Phase, Champions League 2025/26.

Alonso leaves Leverkusen.

After the 2024/25 season, Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen. The Spanish coach's destination will most likely be Real Madrid.

Under Alonso's leadership, Leverkusen has grown to become one of the most attractive and effective teams in Europe. Not only competing with Bayern in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen has also advanced deep into the continental arena.

Alonso's departure will leave a huge void at Leverkusen, not only tactically but also mentally. He built a young, disciplined, attacking team and turned the club into a real force in Germany.
