Europe’s Unbeaten Teams Outshining Madrid

Nearly half a season has passed, and under Zinedine Zidane’s guidance, Real Madrid have maintained an impressive unbeaten run across all competitions. If they can avoid defeat in their first two home matches after the New Year, they will match Barcelona’s record of 39 consecutive games without losing. Remaining unbeaten is rare enough, but going an entire league campaign without even a single draw is even more remarkable. At present, 11 teams across Europe’s major leagues remain undefeated, a scenario that fans of Live Cricket Bangladesh would liken to a team staying flawless through an entire tournament.

In terms of league play without a single draw, only two teams have achieved this feat: Welsh champions The New Saints, who boast a perfect winning record, and Juventus, who have 14 wins and 3 losses from 17 matches without sharing points. Real Madrid’s unbeaten streak spans two seasons, but narrowing the focus to just the current campaign reveals other teams holding their own invincible records. In Germany, Hoffenheim have gone 16 matches without defeat—a milestone even Bayern Munich couldn’t achieve—though 10 draws have them sitting only fifth. Among Europe’s top five leagues, only Real Madrid and Hoffenheim remain unbeaten, while Ligue 1 leaders Nice and Bundesliga leaders Bayern have each lost just once.

Elsewhere in Europe, several other clubs are also riding unbeaten waves. In Scotland, giants Celtic have stormed through 18 rounds with 17 wins and 1 draw, holding a commanding 14-point lead over Rangers despite playing one game fewer. In Turkey, surprise leaders İstanbul Başakşehir—featuring veteran Emre Belözoğlu—top the table by a point over Beşiktaş with 10 wins and 6 draws from 16 matches. In Croatia, Rijeka are mounting a serious challenge to Dinamo Zagreb’s long-standing dominance, posting 16 wins and 4 draws after 20 matches to lead the reigning champions by six points, potentially ending their streak of 11 consecutive titles.

In Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk have already sealed the championship with four matches remaining, boasting 16 wins and 2 draws after 18 rounds, leaving defending champions Dynamo Kyiv a distant 13 points behind. In Denmark, FC Copenhagen look equally dominant, earning 16 wins and 5 draws in 21 matches to lead Brøndby by 11 points, with only five rounds left to play between February and March. Smaller leagues also feature notable unbeaten runs—Albania’s Kukësi lead with 9 wins and 9 draws, while in Luxembourg, both Differdange and Dudelange have gone half a season without a loss.

Yet the most extraordinary of all is The New Saints from Wales, who have not just stayed unbeaten but have won every single match. With 57 points from 19 games and only three matches left, they are on the verge of completing a flawless season—an achievement that would rival any perfect campaign in football history. Much like the drama and perfection sought in Live Cricket Bangladesh, such dominance is rare, awe-inspiring, and unforgettable, proving that in sports, perfection is possible when everything clicks.
