If Leverkusen avoid defeat in their final league game of the season – at home to Augsburg next Saturday – they will become the first team to go through a Bundesliga campaign without tasting defeat.
Bayern Munich lost just once in their title successes of 1986-87 and 2012-13.
After next weekend, Leverkusen will also face Serie A’s Atalanta in the Europa League final in Dublin on 22 May.
They will then play in the German Cup final against Kaiserslautern in Berlin three days later.
