45. Breaking Bayern: VfL Wolfsburg 2008-2009
Episode 45
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025

The Miracle of Wolfsburg. In 2008/09, a factory club with no Bundesliga pedigree tore up the script and produced one of the most astonishing title runs of the 2000s. Led by the iron-fisted Felix Magath, powered by the iconic trio of Grafite, Edin Džeko and Zvjezdan Misimović, and fuelled by a fearless, fast-breaking style of football, VfL Wolfsburg shocked Germany — and Bayern Munich — to lift their first-ever Meisterschale.In this episode, we break down how a side once flirting with relegation transformed into a goal-scoring machine. From Grafite’s legendary back-heel versus Bayern, to the 5–1 demolition jobs that defined their run, to the personalities and off-pitch dynamics that made this team unforgettable — this is the inside story of a title nobody saw coming.Expect tactical context, player deep-dives, match-by-match turning points, and the legacy of one of the Bundesliga’s greatest one-season wonders.If you love 2000s football, big shocks, and iconic strikers, this one’s for you.Make sure to follow us on our Instagram (@footballinthe2000s) and tell us of more topics you would like to hear.
