FC Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga and the German domestic cup, following a season without trophies in the year before. Despite the 16-point margin to the second-placed Stuttgart in Bundesliga, the season was not regarded as a complete success, due to a humiliating run in the Champions League, where it only got two points in six matches. Even though it arguably had the toughest group of all, with Inter, Deportivo and Lens as opponents, early elimination was still not expected with signings such as Michael Ballack, Zé Roberto and Sebastian Deisler, and incumbents such as the World Cup's player of the tournament Oliver Kahn, in the squad.
