1998–99 1. FC Kaiserslautern season

Despite only gaining five less points than last season's title triumph, 1. FC Kaiserslautern were unable to defend their Bundesliga title and finished in fifth – still enough for a second successive season in European competition, in the UEFA Cup. Kaiserlautern also enjoyed a good run in their Champions League debut – topping a group also containing Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and HJK Helsinki and reaching the quarter-finals before being knocked out 6–0 on aggregate by fellow Germans Bayern Munich.

gollark: This is the "missing the point" bit and it is inevitable until I finish scrolling down.
gollark: It's silly to blame people for "not doing anything" to attempt to change things when they cannot, in fact, actually do much, and you're missing the point linking lists of revolutions and such (besides, how many actually went *well*?).
gollark: Of course!
gollark: This is inaccurate. "You" as an individual cannot do anything but have to coordinate, and this is aææðæßðæßðæðæðæß hard.
gollark: Doesn't it vary quite a lot?
