As the 2025/26 season approaches its climax, the pressure is at its peak. One misstep can derail months of effort, and the finest margins often determine the biggest trophies. Yet, some teams have found their best form at the perfect moment, barely remembering the feeling of defeat. Transfermarkt has analyzed the longest current unbeaten streaks across Europe’s top five leagues—the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Serie A.
Surprisingly, the leaders in this category are not the usual European giants. Bournemouth, the Premier League side from the south coast, have built an impressive 16-match unbeaten run under manager Andoni Iraola. Since a 3-2 defeat to Arsenal in January, they have climbed to sixth place in the table. This form not only gives them a strong chance of qualifying for European competition for the first time in their history but also a realistic shot at the Champions League. Iraola has already announced he will leave the club in the summer—a decision he may now be reconsidering.
In second place, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have gone 14 matches without a loss, having been beaten only once in the league this season (a 2-1 home defeat to Augsburg in January). Manchester City, despite the title race slipping out of their control, have been unbeaten in 13 games since their January loss in the Manchester derby, with draws proving to be their main obstacle. Lille have also avoided defeat for 13 games in Ligue 1. Recently crowned LaLiga champions Barcelona are on an 11-match unbeaten streak. Juventus, who have faced challenges this season, currently hold a 10-game unbeaten run in Serie A. Their rivals and this season’s champions, Inter Milan, are eight games without a league loss, matching Nottingham Forest, who secured their Premier League safety this weekend. Three teams are on six-game unbeaten streaks: Leeds United (who face Tottenham tonight), Augsburg, and Real Betis.
