  • Summary

  • Bayer Leverkusen are six matches from immortality. The German champions have won 39 games of their 47 played. They’ve drawn eight. They’ve lost zero. This young team led by Xabi Alonso has already won the Bundesliga, and they’re in the final of the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup. They’re also locked in a Europa League semifinal with Roma, two matches away from a European crown. In the end, they could go farther than Arsenal’s famous Invincibles of 2004 and play an entire season—53 matches across all competitions—without defeat. It is a phenomenon.


    Joining the show to discuss this remarkable run is a man who's borne witness to it firsthand: Derek Rae is the lead commentator for ESPN’s coverage of German football and for the Bundesliga world feed. He’s also the voice of the FIFA video game series, now doing business as EAFC. We spoke Wednesday, ahead of Leverkusen’s first-leg meeting with Roma, about this spectacular season for Xabi Alonso’s side.
