Bayer Leverkusen have become the first team to go through a whole Bundesliga season unbeaten after defeating Augsburg 2-1 on Saturday, APA reports citing The Athletic.

Xabi Alonso’s side clinched their 28th win of the season, with goals from Victor Boniface and Robert Andrich sealing the victory.

Leverkusen also drew six games but never lost, ending the season on 90 points. Only Bayern Munich’s 2012-13 champions have recorded more (91) in the Bundesliga era.

Bayern, meanwhile, finished third after losing 4-2 at Hoffenheim. Stuttgart’s 4-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach saw them climb one point above Thomas Tuchel’s team. It is the first time Bayern have failed to finish in the top two of Germany’s top flight since 2010-11.

Leverkusen are also unbeaten across all competitions in this campaign, reaching the German Cup and Europa League final in the process.
