Manchester City reached a new milestone in European football after extending their unbeaten streak in the UEFA Champions League to 25 matches.

Read also:UEFA Champions League Unveils Exciting New Format for the 2024-2025 Season The win in Slovakia saw Pep Guardiola's side continue their extraordinary consistency on the continental stage. Their unbeaten streak began following a semi-final defeat to Real Madrid in May 2022. Since that setback, City has been relentless, recording 17 wins and 8 draws, a run that has made them a dominant force in European football. Manchester United's record of 25 games without defeat spanned their European campaign from 2007 to 2009, eventually ending with a 2-0 loss to Barcelona in the 2009 final. For Manchester City, the opportunity to surpass that record looms large as they head into their next European encounter. Key to City's current unbeaten run was their triumphant 2022-23 season, which saw them claim their first-ever Champions League title. The streak also included impressive performances against elite teams, further solidifying their status as one of the premier clubs in Europe. While City was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2023-24 campaign following a tense penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid, their current form suggests they are once again one of the leading contenders for the crown. In the Champions League era, only Ajax has managed an unbeaten streak of 20 or more games. The Dutch giants enjoyed a 20-game unbeaten run from October 1985 to March 1996, a period highlighted by their victory in the 1995 final against AC Milan. Manchester City’s pursuit of further Champions League success is underscored by their 25-game unbeaten run, a testament to the club's resilience and dominance on the European stage. Fans will be watching eagerly to see if Guardiola’s men can set a new record and further cement their place in football history as they continue their journey in this season’s competition.
