Unbeaten Boateng Claims New German League Record

Germany defender Jerome Boateng set a new Bundesliga record on
Saturday in Bayern Munich's 4-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt to go 50
German league matches unbeaten.

The 26-year-old centre-back eclipsed Bayern team-mate Franck Ribery,
who had the previous record of 49, and his last league defeat came in
Munich's 2-1 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in October 2012.

Boateng's Germany team-mate Thomas Mueller claimed a hat-trick in
Bayern's romp in Frankfurt which left the defending champions
seven-points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table.

"Once we get into our stride, we're difficult to stop," said World Cup
winner Boateng, who has been selected for Germany's Euro 2016
qualifier against Gibraltar and friendly against Spain.

Boateng has missed only three matches this season in all competitions
and was rested for last season's Bundesliga defeats, when Bayern did
the league and cup double, at Augsburg and at home to Borussia
Dortmund.
