Being unbeaten in a single season. Can Barcelona do it? What teams have done it during the history of top-5 leagues

Barcelona is unbeaten in 34 matches of La Liga. Ernesto Valverde side already ensured the title and is now motivated to finish the season without defeat. VivaroNews Sport gathered information about the teams that were unbeaten during the history of top-5 leagues. Data proves that only few teams managed to have such fantastic seasons. For example, in the history of Bundesliga and Ligue 1 (France) there are not any teams that reached that destination. Italy and England are providing the most recent examples of unbeaten teams. Juventus, under Antonio Conte, haven’t lost a single match in 2011/12 season. That was a crucial year, because Juventus took the first title after Calciopoli, and started the unbelievable run. Juve are champions for 6 years in a row. This year they are also closer to do it. But Juventus is not the only example from Italy. Two teams, including Perugia in 1978/79 season and AC Milan in 1991/92 season under Arrigo Sacchi. England’s recent example is about Arsene Wenger’s incredible campaign in 2003/04 season with Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Dennis Bergkamp. That was the last domestic title of Wenger, who, unfortunately for Arsenal fans, never reached that destination closer for 12 years and is leaving. England have also seen one other examples of invincible season, but it is dated in 19th century, when Preston North End became champions in 1888/89 season. And finally, in La Liga’s history Barcelona can become also the second team to finish the season with wins and draws. Only Athletic Bilbao, in 1929/30 season. Real Madrid were also unbeaten in 1931/32 season, but there were some controversies, as Spanish Civil war started and the title was not officially confirmed.
