Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano closes in on Bundesliga unbeaten record
Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano is approaching a remarkable Bundesliga milestone, having gone 53 consecutive league appearances without defeat. The Frenchman now sits just three games shy of equalling the all-time record held by former Bayern centre-back Jérôme Boateng.
The France international’s remarkable sequence stretches back to the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign, meaning he has gone over two seasons without a league loss.
Having avoided defeat in each of his nine Bundesliga appearances in 2026/27, Upamecano has moved into third place on the all-time list, overtaking the likes of Franck Ribéry, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller.
Only two players in Bundesliga history have enjoyed longer individual unbeaten runs. Former Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký occupies second place with 54 matches, while Boateng remains the outright record holder with 56.

4) Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich) – 49 matches (2012–2014)
4) Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) – 49 matches (2024–present)*
4) Robert Andrich (Bayer Leverkusen) – 49 matches (2023–2025)
7) Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) – 48 matches (2012–2014)
8) Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich) – 45 matches (2012–2014)
9) Dante (Bayern Munich) – 44 matches (2012–2014)
9) David Alaba (Bayern Munich) – 44 matches (2012–2014)
9) Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich) – 44 matches (2012–2014)
9) Rafinha (Bayern Munich) – 44 matches (2012–2014
13) Jonas Hofmann (Bayer Leverkusen) – 43 matches (2022–2025)
13) Josip Stanišić (Bayern Munich/Bayer Leverkusen) – 43 matches (2024–present)*
13) Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich) – 43 matches (2024–present)*
Upamecano isn't the only active Bayern player enjoying a historic unbeaten run, either. His defensive partners Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanišić have also gone 43 Bundesliga matches without tasting defeat, putting them joint-13th on the all-time list. With both streaks still active, the pair have the opportunity to climb further up the rankings this term ans will crack the top 10 with one more game.
Unsurprisingly, Bayern players feature prominently among the Bundesliga’s longest individual unbeaten sequences. Alongside Boateng and Upamecano, former Bayern winger Ribéry enjoyed a 49-match unbeaten run between 2012 and 2014. Current club captain Neuer had a 48-game streak during the same era and has now gone one better with 49, although he will have to wait for the chance to reach a half century due to injury.
Neuer and Upamecano are in fact yet to lose a Bundesliga match under Vincent Kompany, having last lost a domestic league fixture on the final day of 2023/24 under Thomas Tuchel away at Hoffenheim (4-2).
Müller's best run was 45 Bundesliga appearances without defeat during Bayern’s period of dominance under Jupp Heynckes and Pep Guardiola, with David Alaba, Philipp Lahm, Dante and Rafinha each recording streaks of 44 matches.
Leverkusen are also represented towards the top of the list, with Hrádecký’s 54-match streak and Robert Andrich's 49-match sequence highlighting the remarkable consistency of Xabi Alonso’s side during their historic unbeaten title-winning campaign in 2023/24 and beyond.
