Barcelona relinquished their undefeated record after a loss to their arch-rivals Real Madrid in the first instalment of El Clasico on Saturday, October 28.

La Blaugrana had been among the select few clubs with an impeccable beginning to the season until their encounter with a formidable Los Blancos led by the red-hot English midfielder Jude Bellingham.

Although the reigning Spanish champions bid farewell to their near-flawless start, several clubs across Europe's top five leagues still maintain their undefeated status.

Here are the remaining teams yet to be defeated:

OGC Nice - Ligue 1

On Friday, October 27, Nice ascended to the summit of the French league standings, courtesy of Hicham Boudaoui's lone goal that secured a 1-0 triumph away at Clermont, as cited by Reuters.

This marked the fourth instance of Nice clinching a 1-0 victory in their last five league matches, underscoring their proficiency in tightly contested encounters.

Their consistent reliance on a one-goal strategy has proven fruitful, leading to six victories and four drawn matches, thus preserving their unblemished record in the ongoing campaign.

Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga

Dortmund's performance in the 2023-2024 Bundesliga season may be falling short of expectations as Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen take the lead.

Despite their inconsistent form and a penchant for drawing matches, the team remains undefeated after nine games.

Under the guidance of Edin Terzic, the Yellow and Blacks have clinched six victories and settled for three draws, displaying a commendable offensive record of 20 goals while conceding 11 goals.

Bayern Munich - Bundesliga

Another club in the Bundesliga with an inch-perfect start to the season is none other than perennial champions Bayern Munich. The Bavarians, predictably find themselves among the list of undefeated clubs to date.

With the addition of Harry Kane strengthening their offensive line, the Bavarians have displayed a striking goal-scoring prowess, tallying an impressive 34 goals in only nine games, per Sofascore, averaging a remarkable 3.7 goals per match.

Simultaneously, their defensive line has exhibited staunch resilience, conceding a mere seven goals. In summary, FC Hollywood has clinched seven victories and settled for two draws in their nine appearances so far.

Arsenal - Premier League

After narrowly missing out on the EPL title to Manchester City last season, Arsenal are determined to end their championship dry spell this term, and it's no wonder they continue their unbeaten streak.

In fact, the Gunners are familiar with this feat, having remained undefeated throughout their Invincible championship campaign in the 2003-2004 season.

Bayer Leverkusen - Bundesliga

Certainly one of the most remarkable teams in Europe, Bayer Leverkusen is relishing an exceptional start to the season.

Blending a swashbuckling style of play with efficient pressing, complemented by an almost impenetrable defence, Xabi Alonso's finely tuned team has taken the Bundesliga by storm.

While their playing style is aesthetically pleasing, their flawless record speaks for itself, with eight wins and a solitary draw in their nine appearances so far.

Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

The Premier League's top spot has been an unexpected delight for the North London club, surpassing even their own expectations, as they lead ahead of the likes of title favourites Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal.

Despite initial concerns about the aftermath of Harry Kane's departure, Ange Postecoglu's management has defied the odds.

The Lilywhites have maintained an unbeaten record in 10 matches, boasting eight victories and two draws, cementing their remarkable journey with the esteemed label of a fairytale run.
