Xabi Alonso Equals 33-Year-Old Bundesliga Record After Leverkusen Draw

Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has matched a 33-year-old Bundesliga record after his team drew 0-0 with Wolfsburg on Saturday.

The draw marked Alonso’s 27th consecutive away match without a loss, with 20 wins and seven draws, equalling the record set by Udo Lattek in 1990.

Despite the result, Leverkusen’s gap to league leaders Bayern Munich increased to eight points, as Bayern beat Werder Bremen 3-0 on Friday.

Although Leverkusen have only lost one match this season, their seven draws have hurt their chances of winning the title.

Next week, Alonso’s team will face Bayern Munich at home on February 15, and will aim to close the gap in this crucial Bundesliga match.

Leverkusen’s draw against Wolfsburg was unusual as they failed to score, underlining the importance of turning chances into goals.

With the title race heating up, Alonso will be eager to lead his team to victory over Bayern to keep their championship hopes alive.
