Bundesliga 1969-70


once more the defending champ was not able to repeat. This year saw the rise of Mönchengladbach; their rivalry with Bayern München would dominate German soccer for the next decade. The young Gladbach squad, built around midfielder Günter Netzer and defender Berti Vogts, had been strengthened in the off season by Stuttgarters Klaus Sieloff and Horst Köppel. A balanced attack and stingy defence proved to be decisive.

Defending champ Bayern got a monster season from "der Bomber" Müller: a record 38 goals. But they fell behind Gladbach's blistering pace mid way through the season. Also having excellent season's where Köln and Hertha, who set another attendance record with 89,000 against 1860.

On the bottom, Alemannia Aachen, the surprise runner-up from last season, sucked and were pretty much eliminated early on. Also tragic was the relagtion of ex-champion 1860 München, which once and forever fell behind rivals Bayern.
