Leverkusen - Greatest European Achievement?

[cannable]

Genuinely a question, not a statement.

As individual achievements… winning the DFB Pokal’s a good season 

The Europa League would be an amazing season 

The Bundesliga for the first time is the best season in their history 

They’ve already achieved the latter and are in the finals of the former two competitions 

They’ve just broken the European competition included unbeaten record (Celtic went 65 unbeaten over 100 years ago so no European football)

Would this be the greatest season of all time if they remain unbeaten in the league and win both finals? The only argument as to why it isn’t is that it’s the Europa League and not the Champions League that’s made up their potential treble

A great achievement but no, for this reason.  The absolute crap in that tournament where the biggest losers join up in different rounds amongst other random entry criteria, makes it the most pointless cup competition in history.  If they'd been in the one they will be in next time, I don't think they'd be this many unbeaten.

It’s amazing what momentum can do. I think I read a stat that if games had finished on 90 minutes flat, they would have lost six times this season.
