Team Achievements – 1997–1998 Season:
Coming off the high of winning the UEFA Champions League in 1996–97, Dortmund entered the 1997–98 season with high expectations:
• UEFA Super Cup: Runners-up, losing to FC Barcelona over two legs.
• Intercontinental Cup (Toyota Cup): Champions, defeating Brazil’s Cruzeiro 2–0 in Tokyo, becoming world club champions.
• Bundesliga: Finished in 10th place, a disappointing domestic campaign after European success.
• DFB-Pokal (German Cup): Knocked out in the Round of 16.
• UEFA Champions League: Reached the semi-finals, showing strong European form before being eliminated by eventual champions Real Madrid.
While domestic form dipped, the season was notable for international success, especially winning the Intercontinental Cup — a prestigious honor that solidified Dortmund’s status among the elite.
