CSKA’s success over B36 brought a place for the playoff round in the Europa League, but also a record series of consecutive Euro matches without losing the “Army”. The game against the Faroese team was CSKA’s 13th in a row at home without losing in UEFA tournaments.
The previous peak dates back to 37 years ago, when Roma won 1-0 with a Falcao goal and ended the “Bulgarian Army” 12-match streak with success or draw. It lasted from 13.10.1965 to 19.10.1983 and practically included the first 12 matches of the “reds” in Europe in their stadium overall, and the start of the series was an impressive -10 wins.
The current 13-game unbeaten streak begins in autumn 2005 after losing to Hamburg (0-1) at the start of the UEFA Cup group stage. Then the three-star Miodrag champions Jesic beat Norwegian Viking 2-0 through Yanev (penalty) and Guillaume da Zaadi and marked the start of a series of matches without losing the “Army”. There are 12 more games at Freedom Park without a loss, although some of them leave a sour taste. In 2006, the “Army” tied the overall result in the rematch with Besiktas Istanbul with 2: 0 in regulation time, but in extra time they conceded two goals and retired just before the groups. A year later comes the dramatic 1: 1 at home to Toulouse with Gignac’s draw in the 96th minute again in the UEFA Cup group lobby.
CSKA returned to the “Army” in international competitions in 2018 and already has 7 consecutive victories in its stadium in the transplants of the Europa League in the last three seasons, writes “Tema Sport”.
CSKA had not eliminated three rivals in Europe since the 1998/99 season
The “Army” is making a breakthrough
