Bayern Munich Home Shirt 2001/02

After the treble-winning heights of 2000/01, Bayern endured a difficult follow-up under Ottmar Hitzfeld. In the Bundesliga, they slipped to 3rd place, finishing well behind champions Borussia Dortmund. In the Champions League, Bayern were eliminated at the quarter-final stage by Real Madrid, failing to defend their crown despite strong early performances. The DFB-Pokal also ended in disappointment with an early exit. However, Bayern did collect silverware by winning the Intercontinental Cup against Boca Juniors in Tokyo, courtesy of a Samuel Kuffour goal. Overall, it was a transitional season marked by fatigue and inconsistency after the previous year’s glory.
