Everything about Fu Ball-bundesliga 2000-01 totally explained
The Bundesliga 2000/01-season was widely considered as the season with the most dramatic championship decision in league-history.
34th match day
When the last match day started
Bayern Munich was in the lead to
Schalke 04 by three points. As the goal-difference of Bayern was three goals worse than those of Schalke, Bayern needed at least a tie at their away-match at
Hamburger SV to get the championship – under the condition, that Schalke were winning their home-match against
SpVgg Unterhaching.
Schalke indeed managed to win in a turbulent match, after lying behind by 0-2. After they tied the match by half-time, Unterhaching took the lead again in the 68th minute. Schalke stroke back by two goals in the 72nd and 73rd minute and finally won by 5-3.
The match in
Hamburg began 5 minutes late, as spectators had thrown things onto the ground. There had been no goals until the 90th minute. At this time
Sergej Barbarez scored for Hamburg with a
header. Schalke took the lead in the “imaginable” table at the same moment. The news became quickly public at
Gelsenkirchen and the match in the
Parkstadion ended shortly after.
Most Schalke supporters obviously believed that their team had gained the first championship since 1958 and crowds of people ran onto the infield celebrating this. Then the stadium television showed live pictures from Hamburg. The three minutes of injury-time in Hamburg hadn't been over. So Bayern had still the chance to strike back.
Then the people in Gelsenkirchen could see that the Hamburg-goalkeeper Mathias Schober took a back-pass by his team-mate into his hands. So referee
Markus Merk gave an indirect
free-kick for Bayern about eight meters from the Hamburg goal. There were discussions and protests which postponed the match for another minute. The tension was very high because any player and spectator knew that the whole season would be decided in this single situation.
Stefan Effenberg played the ball to Bayern defender
Patrik Andersson, who shot the ball through the wall of the Hamburg-defenders into the net, for his first and only goal for the club. The match ended with this situation.
By this Bayern won their 17th title with one point ahead of Schalke.
Schalke believed for 3 minutes and 43 seconds, that they could get their 8th title. Instead of this they became the first “champion of hearts” in the history of the Bundesliga, as many supporters, even of other teams, felt for them
