They went through sort of knockout games. I\u2019m not sure at that time if there was two European competitions, there probably was.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So I don\u2019t want to put myself down here but the level of competition [was tougher].<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But anyway I\u2019m thrilled that West Ham and myself have got it [the record] but more thrilled that we got the win tonight because it was it was really important to us.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Irons are top of Europa League Group A after two rounds and next up face a trip to Olympiacos on 28th October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>Facebook,\u00a0<\/strong>Twitter\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/10\/05\/west-ham-break-55-year-european-record-with-europa-league-win-vs-freiburg-19614657\/?ico=top-stories_home_bottom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Ham have broken the record for the longest unbeaten run in European competition for an English club.
