Which makes the Perugia feat all the more impressive. Winning the title undefeated is a pretty rare occurrence in the top leagues. But going undefeated and *not* winning the title must surely be unique! D

No. Atlético Mineiro and Botafogo managed to do it in the same year! In 1977, Botafogo went unbeaten for 18 matches (11W, 7D) but crashed out of the third stage of the Brazilian League, for an overall 5th place. Atlético went all the way to the final (17W, 4D!!!), but lost on PKs! Tchau! Jesus Petry
