It"s a staggering record.

"Bayer 04 Leverkusen has scored a whopping 24 goals after 35 minutes in the second half of the season," said BR Football, a British media outlet.

That"s an incredible record. Leverkusen, the hottest team in Europe this season, is making history. They haven"t lost a single game in their last 42 official matches. With an incredible record of 37 wins and five draws, they are on track to win the German Bundesliga title.

Currently 16 points ahead of second-place Bayern Munich, Leverkusen will host Werder Bremen on May 15th. If they win that match, they will win the Bundesliga title for the first time in their history, regardless of the rest of their schedule.

 

At the center of their incredible unbeaten run is head coach Xabi Alonso. Alonso took the reins at Leverkusen midway through last season and was a so-called "novice" coach. He had only totopick.pro coached Real Sociedad"s youth and B teams prior to his arrival at Leverkusen. However, his incredible tactical skills have turned Leverkusen into a top team.

What"s more, Leverkusen have a never-say-die mentality this season. They"ve scored 24 goals in the last 35 minutes of the game alone.

This was also on display in their last game, against West Ham United, which took place on December 12th. Leverkusen faced the Hammers in the first leg of the UEL quarterfinals of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League (UEL) and fired a whopping 33 shots on goal, but the Hammers" stout defense and goalkeeper ?ukasz Fabianski"s saves kept them from finding the back of the net.

However, Jonas Hoffmann"s 38th-minute opener and Victor Boniface"s second goal in stoppage time gave the Hammers a 2-0 victory. Both goals came after the 35th minute. This record eventually transformed Leverkusen into a powerhouse.
