Are Leverkusen the best smaller budget team in the past 15 years?

[RayCTID]

They’ve got Dortmund away, followed by Stuttgart at home and Frankfurt away.

No losses there and they’ll do it. Only 6 games left.

It doesn't mean much where the league title is going to but there is always an unexpected defeat in the set of fixtures.

Does it? Who else but Arsenal have been unbeaten when winning the league?

Arsenal are due a defeat.

Arsenal are due a defeat.

In 2004.

Is there another team that only lost after winning the league title?

Still lost in the cup competitions. We lost a couple of games in the Centurion season.

That’s irrelevant to the point.

You say a team always has a defeat after winning the league.

I’m asking if a team in Leverkusen’s position have gone on to not be unbeaten after winning the title with 5 games left. I can only think of Arsenal in 2004, and they didn’t suffer a defeat.

It’s nowt to do with number of points, nor whether they have lost in cup games either.

They won't finish the season unbeaten.

They certainly managed to beat those Royal Engineers and Old Etonians! :-)

Neither of whom have been in the league.
