Four left standing: Europe’s still unbeaten clubs

Journalistic data reveals that only four teams across Europe’s top divisions remain unbeaten midway through the 2025/26 season. Remarkably, two share a distinct link to Jose Mourinho. While most clubs have experienced defeat, Slavia Prague, FK Vardar, Fenerbahce, and Benfica still stand undefeated.

Slavia Prague leads the Czech league with fourteen wins and seven draws, matching the resilience of Macedonia’s FK Vardar, who top their table with thirteen wins and sixteen draws. The "Special One" connection involves Fenerbahce and Benfica. Mourinho managed Fenerbahce for the first three matches, securing one win and two draws, before departing. The Turkish side remains second, unbeaten after twenty games.

Subsequently, Mourinho joined Benfica on matchday six. Under his guidance, the Eagles added eleven wins and five draws to their unbeaten start. Currently third in Portugal, Benfica joins this elite quartet chasing the rare, historic achievement of finishing an entire league campaign without suffering defeat.
