Boniface and Tella’s Leverkusen eye history

Alonso, whose Leverkusen side has already secured a spot in the Europa League and DFB-Pokal finals, spoke to the media about the significance of this weekend's match. 

"Tomorrow (today) could be historical,” the former Bayern Munich star stated according to a post by the club’s social media account.

“We want to stay unbeaten and be the first team to do the full season without a defeat in the Bundesliga. It will feel like the first of three finals," the Spaniard added.

Leverkusen's remarkable run has seen them break the 59-year European record held by Benfica, as they currently stand unbeaten after 50 matches.

This impressive streak has been fueled, in part, by the contributions of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface and English winger Nathan Tella, who are expected to play a crucial role in the team's pursuit of the Invincibles title.

Alonso's hitherto named Neverkusen have been a revelation this season, challenging for a historic treble, which would cement their status as one of the most dominant forces in German and European football history.
