Bayer Leverkusen: The Invincible Flyers of 1995-1996
Die unbesiegbaren Überflieger von Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen's sporting director, Simon Rolfes, expressed confidence on Sunday that sought-after coach Xabi Alonso would remain with the club. Alonso has been linked with a move away from Leverkusen to Real Madrid, but Rolfes insisted that the Spaniard was "100% committed" to Leverkusen.
A Historic Season
The 1995-1996 season was a historic one for Bayer Leverkusen. Under the guidance of manager Christoph Daum, the team went undefeated throughout the entire Bundesliga campaign, becoming the first and only team to achieve this feat in the league's history. Leverkusen also reached the final of the UEFA Cup, losing to Bayern Munich.
The team was led by a number of talented players, including Michael Ballack, Ulf Kirsten, and Bernd Schneider. Ballack, in particular, emerged as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe and would go on to have a successful career with Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and the German national team.
Leverkusen's success that season is still remembered as one of the greatest achievements in the club's history. The team's undefeated run is a testament to the quality of the players and the coaching staff, and it will likely never be matched.
