EUROPE'S LONGEST WINNING STREAK






With Chelsea a win away from equaling the highest winning run from any team in England a record held by arsenal, wetake a look at the longest winning run in Europe.




Bordeaux(champions)2008/2009-Former psg coach Laurent blanc was the hero when Bordeaux embarked on a remarkable 11 game winning run that eventually led them to the ligue 1 title finishing  3 points ahead of Marseille. The best run in Ligue1 till date.




Chelsea(pending)2016/2017-After a 3-0 loss to arsenal, pressure was mounting on newly appointed coach Antonio conte with speculation that the Italian was going to be sacked with less than seven months into the job. a return to his favored 3-4-3 formation which has been the trademark of the Italians success in his managerial career saw Chelsea keep 5 clean sheets in a row and  scoring more than 15 goals in the process and are currently on a 12 game winning run.




Arsenal(champions)-The 2001/2002 season was one to remember for arsenal fans as they did the double. they went on a 13 game winning run which included a 1-0 against united in the last game of the season and followed it up with an fa cup final victory against chelsea.




Barcelona(champions)2010/2011-Pep Guardiola was the man in charge as Barcelona went on an unstoppable 16 game winning run. the Spaniard set up his team in a way which they dominated the ball and pressed higher up the pitch whenever they lost it with xavi integral to the system. The tikitaka was given life by guardiola and many suspect that was the reason Spain became world champions and won the euros in succession as guardiola had already laid the blueprint for Vicente Del bosque to work with.




Inter Milan(champions)2006/2007-Inter Milan won the Serie a title under former man city coach Roberto Mancini, losing just once in the process. Luis Figo was integral to the inter Milan setup. A 17 game winning run was too much for other title contenders to meet up.They won the league by 22 points.




Bayern Munich(champions)2013/2014-For the second time in this list Pep guardiola has featured but this time in Bavarian colors. Bayern Munich became champions in incredible fashion as they won the league with 7 games remaining with a 19 point margin. They looked invisible and a 19 game winning run was a beauty to behold which is the highest ever winning run in European history.
