Best Undefeated Streaks
‘Invincible’ streaks are few and far between in Europe and it takes a vastly experienced and superior squad to accomplish that. Nevertheless, a number of managers did push their teams to the limit to have long streaks of unbeaten games.
Laurent Blanc did just that with Paris Saint-Germain. So dominant were they in Ligue 1 that second-placed Lyon were closer to the relegation zone than catching up with the champions. In fact, PSG did not lose their first 27 games. Their first Ligue 1 loss of the season was against Lyon – in February! In all, PSG lost just two games the entire season, making a mockery of the French league.

Juventus’ undefeated streak consisted of two winning streaks with a draw sandwiched in between. After losing a game in the end of October, they did not lose again until May when the title was already won as Napoli fell away. The undefeated run also saw Buffon set a new Serie A record for most minutes without conceding a goal – 973 minutes.
Meanwhile, Barcelona actually went on a 39-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. But in the league, the run was restricted to 23 games. The run between a loss to Sevilla in October and Real Madrid in the Clasico in April saw the Catalan club win 19 games and draw four.
