If Leverkusen do the treble unbeaten

[ClaretsPadiham]

How high does it rank in football achievements ?

Got to be pretty high, if not the greatest ever.

Won Bundesliga already.

Playing a team from the German 2nd division in the German cup final.

In the semis of the Europa league and favourites to win it.

Don't pay much attention to the Bundesliga but they seem to have come from nowhere.
Noticed they scored the equaliser in the 97th minute today to preserve the unbeaten record.

Fantastic achievement if they do it though it probably won't get that much credit due to the perception of the Europa league in comparison to the Champions league.

Aye, but it’s not as good as Pep taking Man City, sprinkling a billion on em (against financial fair play rules) and winning the treble six years later, is it?

[Claretitus]

Fair play to Alonso, clearly a coach who knows his stuff- an incredible season so far. Taking Tella from the Championship, Xakha from Arsenal and turning them into Champions, Cup Finalists, and Euro Semi Finalists. No wonder he is sought after.

Reminiscent of how people were talking in March last year about our own manager….

Germany will probably get a 5th. Champions League place instead of England.
How strong is the Bundesliga compared to the Premier League ?

Alonso winning the Bundesliga has already outdone Kompany last season to be fair.

I'm not sure there's an equivalent if he pulls off the unbeaten treble. It'd be proper football manager stuff. Closest I can think is Clough's back to back European Cups with Forest.

I'm off to Eintracht in a couple of weeks when they play Leverkusen. Hoping for a Frankfurt win, but can't see Bayer being on the beach just yet with the Pokal and the Europa to concentrate on.
