Pulling statistics hand, we have that Atlético de Madrid since the arrival of Cholo Simeone has won all its European games. Reviewing the aforementioned statistics, the mattress set is with 14 consecutive victories the team that has won the most games in a row in the history of the second continental competition.
The surprising thing in these statistics is the irruption of Levante, that never ceases to amaze. According to the statistical file, There are only two teams in the history of Spanish football that have managed to win their first European matches consecutively; Levante and its neighbor, Valencia CF.
The record is held by the Mestalla painting, with four consecutive wins, in the season 1961/62. It was in the old Fairs Cup, thus being the Spanish team with the most consecutive victories the year of its debut. The Levant, rookie this season in European competition has three, so if he won in Hannover today he would equal the record that the neighbor and rival of the city curiously owns.
Definitely, another incentive for today's game for the faithful Granota parish.
