AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten run may be too long, and Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run is perhaps even more impressive. Remember the atmosphere at that time? Even if you are not a Gunners fan, when you see Arsenal becoming more and more difficult to beat in the Premier League, you will unconsciously follow their next game like a drama. The more Arsenal go undefeated, the more potential this suspense creates. Therefore, when they lost 0:2 away to Manchester United, it was equivalent to announcing that the drama had finally come to an end, and the fans also got a refreshing feeling of witnessing the finale.
In fact, this kind of pursuit of suspense is also true in the opposite direction, for example, a losing streak. Of course, the fish belly team's consecutive defeats should not attract too much attention, after all, with their strength, they can only play such a result. But it's not the same for teams that are good or even super strong. In the era of the Champions League, Real Madrid has twice staged 5 consecutive defeats in the league, although the number is not large, but it is indeed very eye-catching and shocking on Real Madrid. Fortunately, the league was about to end at that time, and Real Madrid's losing streak was finally forced to end by the schedule.
And this season, there is a team in European football, although its strength and heritage are far inferior to Real Madrid, but at least it is also a strong team in the Champions League. In this round of the league, they lost 0:3 at home, so as of now, they have lost 12 consecutive games in all competitions.
Union Berlin.
Not much could be said about the game, and although Union Berlin had more shots, they were still crushed by Eintracht Frankfurt in terms of attacking efficiency. Here's a look at Union Berlin's general journey this season. They got off to a good start with big wins in the first two rounds of the Bundesliga; But from the third round, their losing streak began. The current 12-game losing streak includes eight Bundesliga games, three Champions League games, and one German Cup.
As mentioned earlier, there is one thing that many fans are starting to take in now – when will Union Berlin end their losing streak?
However, in the framework of the 12-game losing streak, there is actually a more desperate detail hidden. It is this detail that makes Union Berlin look so weak that there is no hope of a counterattack.
Let's start with this 0:3. The ratio of shots on goal was 11:4, but the score was 0:3. Union Berlin can't even score a single goal, so what can they do to stop the losing streak? Even if this game is 1:3, it can give us a glimmer of hope.
Yes, the 12-game losing streak hides an even more desperate statistic – Union Berlin have kept a clean sheet in five games in a row.
Since losing 2:4 to Dortmund in the 7th round of the Bundesliga, Union Berlin has lost the next 5 games with the scores of 0:3, 0:1, 0:2, 0:1, and 0:3. Five games without scoring are more embarrassing than a losing streak.
Now that I think about it, the 2:4 loss in Westphalia was more or less tragic. Despite the defeat, the two goals at least showed that Union Berlin was able to resist. But the next five clean sheets did make Union Berlin look like a sick wolf with teeth extracted.
Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Union Berlin will want to stop the losing streak in the short term. After all, the mentality of this team is close to falling apart, and in the future, 12 is just the benchmark, and this number will get bigger and bigger.
So, what about 5? Will Union Berlin continue to keep a clean sheet?
This gray suspense, I don't know when it will be solved.
