2001–02 Borussia Dortmund season

Borussia Dortmund clinched its 6th national championship, thanks to a stellar ending to the season, passing long-time leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the penultimate round, before sealing the title with a win on the final day. It also reached the final of the UEFA Cup, where it had the disadvantage of playing away from home against Feyenoord. With skipper Jürgen Kohler being sent off in his final match of the career, Feyenoord were able to win 3–2 and deprive Dortmund of its first international title since its famous UEFA Champions League victory in 1997.

Top goalscorerMárcio Amoroso (18)

Key players in Dortmund's success were Czech duo Jan Koller and Tomáš Rosický, top scorer Márcio Amoroso and German internationals such as Christoph Metzelder, goalkeeper Jens Lehmann and Christian Wörns. It was coach Matthias Sammer's first season in charge, and the 1996 European Player of the Year was an instant hit, becoming one of the very few coaches to win one of Europe's top domestic league at his first attempt.

gollark: Does the JVM have tagged unions? No, I do not think so.
gollark: This would have many benefits.
gollark: As a certified idea haver, I have a better idea. We force all languages ever to compile to a common IL which does have all the features people want. There may be resistance to this, which is why it would be deployed via a "trusting trust" attack on all popular compilers simultaneously.
gollark: Although I guess you'd then lose out on the nice language features on each end.
gollark: They could probably be semiautogeneratedish.
