'35 games unbeaten for Italy' - Which national teams have the longest unbeaten run in football?

The Azzurri last lost a match in September 2018 against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal...

Roberto Mancini's Italy are on the cusp of history after their 1-1 draw against Bulgaria in a 2022 World Cup qualifier on Thursday, extending their unbeaten run of matches to 35. Federico CHiesa was on target for Italy, giving them a lead before Atanas Iliev equalised for Bulgaria.

The Azzurri had a terrific run under Mancini and even won the Euro 2020 unbeaten, with Mancini's side defeating England in the final after a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.

Their last defeat came on September 10, 2018, in the group stage of the UEFA Nations League in 2018 against Portugal.
