Europa League, record-breaking Chelsea: 16 races without defeat in the competition

With the draw against the Eintracht the Blues stretch their unbeaten streak in the tournament: it is a record, as are the other numbers. Best attack, 8 trips in a row without losing, 9 consecutive wins at home

Everything is still very open, in view of the return, but Chelsea will be able to take advantage of the home factor to hit the Europa League final and ... do 17. With the draw in Frankfurt, 1-1 against Eintracht, the team trained by Sarri he has in fact extended his unbeaten run by collecting the sixteenth consecutive game without defeat in the competition. Already so a record, snatched from Atletico Madrid that held him from the 2011-2012 season; no one better since the Europa League changed formula (2009-2010). The numbers of Chelsea in the tournament cannot fail to impress: 16 matches in a row without defeat, of which 13 in this edition, in which Sarri's Blues reached the semifinal with 11 victories and 2 draws, the second just in the first leg with the Eintracht. Superb round with 5 successes and a 2-2 qualifying with the Videoton already obtained, then only victories in knockout races, with double wins against Malmoe (2-1, 3-0), Dinamo Kiev (3-0, 5-0), Slavia Praga (1-0, 4-3). An irresistible journey, enriched by the 31 goals scored (best attack in this Europa League in front of Eintracht, with 29). And if Pedro has "saved" another record of the Blues, the one that sees them unbeaten in 8 straight matches in the Europa League, the Eintracht in view of the return should worry about the data concerning Chelsea's home games: at Stamford Bridge, in fact, Sarri's team has won the last 9 matches in the competition. With the tenth, the final would be secured.
