The Munich "Bayern" football players keep playing at an unstoppable pace. However, the improved Champions League record of the players and coaches of the German superclub does not escape their attention. Their eyes are more focused on a record related to titles.
On Wednesday evening in the Russian capital, "Bayern" defeated Moscow's CSKA 3:1 and secured their tenth consecutive victory in the Champions League.
Winning so many times in a row has never been achieved by any team before. Ten years ago, "Barcelona" had won 9 matches in a row.
"I'm very proud of this record. Especially because we won that game by dominating," praised "Bayern" coach Pep Guardiola. "Winning ten matches in a row in Europe is something special."
The sentiment was echoed by Arjen Robben, the player who scored the first goal against CSKA. "We can be proud because we took the record from a team that has dominated Europe in recent years. Also, our record-breaking journey included the Champions League final and semi-final. Ten consecutive victories prove that we are excellent," the Dutchman stated.
The words of the "Bayern" representatives will be completely different if they manage to leave a much brighter mark in the history books of the Champions League. No team has ever won this tournament twice in a row.
