Bayer Leverkusen made history in the Bundesliga by completing an entire season without a single defeat, a remarkable achievement that saw them extend their unbeaten streak to 51 games with a 2-1 victory over Augsburg at home on Saturday.
Having already secured the Bundesliga title in April, Leverkusen, led by Victor Boniface and Robert Andrich, continued their winning ways as they prepared for the Europa League final against Atalanta and the German Cup final.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen’s rivals Cologne suffered relegation after a 4-1 defeat to Heidenheim, while Union Berlin secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Freiburg to avoid the drop, leaving Bochum to face a relegation play-off against Fortuna Duesseldorf.
Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen team took the lead early on against Augsburg, with Amine Adli creating an opportunity for Boniface to score from close range after a mistake by the Augsburg goalkeeper, Tomas Koubek.
