I think it would. Losing/winning on penalties counts as a draw I believe.
Xabi Alonso: Bayer Leverkusen manager
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
But technically they lost the match so not sure if this counts towards the unbeaten record, no?
They weren't even close to getting Atlanta to penalties so no point wondering about such a "what if".
Not sure but I think it's still a draw as I heard some commentator talking about City's current unbeaten streak counting their game vs Madrid a part of it as well as it was 1-1 after 120 minutes.
It's still a draw
Argentina narrowly missed out on bringing home the 1990 World Cup despite only winning two games. Penalties decide a tie but don't count as wins/losses.
They won the German Cup as well, unbelievable season for them.
That EL final loss is gonna sting even more now that they’ve secured the double.
Amazing season
Amazing season
Yeah, its been an incredible season for them, but the way they got rolled over by Atalanta just doesn't feel right.
Will be interesting to see how much of their squad gets plundered over the next couple seasons.
Wirtz has De Bruyne replacement for City written all over him.

I don't think many players will leave this season. Frimpong (whose replacements are already there) is the only starter who I expect to go. The Garcia rumour smells as if Palacios could be in for a surprise move as well.
2025 will be very hard, though. Alonso will leave and many players will se that as an exit signal. The good thing is that Xhaka will likely end his career here and we can build a team around him. Really, really hope we sign either Brajan Gruda or Desire Doue this summer to be prepared for the eventual Wirtz departure.
Wouldn't foden want that position?
Just read that Alonso and Wirtz have a potential deal with Real Madrid end of next season.
He wrote an article detailing our season from his own perspective:

These cnuts are at it again with their late goals. This time with 10 men for most of the game.
Yet another trophy.
Meh. Should have won a treble, didn't. All the hype for him has gone.
Play some great football. He's got them purring. Wonder will the big boys at real run as much for him.
On the contrary..his stock has never been higher..
Alonso must have the Ferguson magic dust
Ear marked to replaced Don Carlo when the time arrives
I think it's a bit myth that "big players" won't like working hard - how the Real, Barca, City have dominated, with all players giving in 100% and working for manager.
Yeah true,but did you watch neymar messi and mbappe work their socks off for poch....cause I didn't and one of them lads is now no1 striker at real....
Wheels are coming off.
Will be a different season for them. Dont think they will win the league this time. They dont look sharp so far this season. Good first half, second half was ok, but they look more vulnerable and shaky
What an overrated fraud.
Hirsute fraud
BDL still pretending he’s any good.
Openda had a superb match - he will be in the P.L next season
He's finished at this level.
No Hradecky, no party.
Another added time winner.
Turning into fergies united team.
Gonna relish those 30 mins added time when he comes to Madrid 
This is some proper plot armor they have. Bordering on ridiculous. Think this was the 12th injury time winner in less than 2 years of being there.
easier in germany in the late games as a lot of the players are distracted and counting the hours until they need to be up to milk the cows.
