West Ham United’s manager, David Moyes, expressed his pride after his team’s 2-1 victory against Freiburg extended their unbeaten streak in European competitions to a record-breaking 17 games for English teams. The previous record was shared by Don Revie’s Leeds United from the 1960s and Bill Nicholson’s Tottenham Hotspur from the 1970s.
West Ham, the defending champions of the Europa Conference League, achieved this milestone with their recent win in Germany. Currently, Manchester City is on a 16-game unbeaten run in European competitions and has the opportunity to equal West Ham’s record when they face Swiss side Young Boys on October 25.
Moyes shared his feelings about the historic achievement, saying, 17 matches unbeaten in Europe fills me with so much pride. He also acknowledged the significance of the victory against Freiburg, stating: The record is always really good to get, but more important was winning tonight, and getting those three points is so good, particularly when many would consider this the hardest game in the group.
West Ham is currently leading Europa League Group A with six points from two games. Their next match will be in the Premier League against Newcastle United on Sunday, adding another layer of excitement to their impressive season. Moyes’s leadership has been instrumental in West Ham’s success, and the team’s fans are hoping for more achievements under his guidance in the coming matches.
