The BIGGEST Defeat in EVERY Top 5 League

[lhering]

The 77/78 Bundesliga season had one of the craziest title showdowns in football history.
Before the last matchday Köln and Gladbach were level on points, but Köln had a goal difference of +40 while Gladbach only had +30. So the race seemed to be decided before the final matchday. That was until Gladbach pulled off this astonishing 12:0 beating, to blow the race wide open. Now Köln needed to win by at least three goals to still get the title. An hour into the game it was still only 1:0 against St. Pauli. But in the end they managed to score 4 goals within 30 Minutes and win the Bundesliga in spectactular fashion. That's why the biggest win in Bundesliga history felt like a great defeat for Gladbach.

Lets not forget football in England existed before 1992...

The biggest top flight wins in England are the 12-0 Win for West Brom over Darwen in 1892 and the 12-0 win for Nottingham Forest over Leicester in 1909

Not just 3 of the biggest German clubs were in the bottom half of the table, but also Koln managed to win the title that season without even getting 50 points throughout the season. Just couldn't imagine how tight the season was🥵

Athletic Bilbao was insane back then winning laliga three times

[GerardC]

Athletic Bilbao used to be the biggest team back then

[honestegg]

I did not just see the 3 biggest German clubs at the bottom half of the league

[romt-xv]

The fact that Bayern was on the bottom of the table 💀

What he didn't mention was the fact that while Borussia Monchengladbach won 12-0, they missed out on the title by 3 Goals. Bitter sweet.

Bro did I not just see Bayern in 12th 😂

In England the biggest defeat was 12-0. It happened twice. West Bromich Albion beat Darwen 12-0 in 1892, and Nottingham Forest beat Leicester Fosse 12-0 in 1909. Both top tier football. Football history doesn't start in 1992 with a profit driven rebrand

To think that, in Gladbach’s case, it could have seen them win the Bundesliga if not for FC Köln winning on the day

The Dortmund coach was Otto Rehhagel. Who got fired and became a laughing stock after the game.

He went on to become the coach with the longest tenure in Bundesliga history, coaching Werder Bremen for 14 years, forming the club into a worthy rival for Bayern and leading them to their only European Cup. Later he let 1. FC Kaiserslautern to promotion and immediately in the first season back in the Bundesliga he won the title with them and lastly in 2004 his victory at the Euros with Greece is arguably the biggest upset in international football history.

Se yeah. Never give up after one failure!

The story behind Gladbach's 12:0: As the reigning three time in a row champion, they were on the same amount of points as Köln before the last gameday but only had a +30 goal differencial while Köln was on +40. Köln was playing St. Pauli in the last game, who were dead last and already surely relegated, so everyone knew, a simple win over Dortmund was not enough. To halftime, they were leading 6:0 while Köln had only scored one goal, so some people believed in the possibility. But in the second half, Köln scored 4 more goals, winning 5:0 and the coach of Gladbach always screamed things like "only 5 more". But the 12:0 was not enough. Many people say, Dortmund received a lot of money to lose that high but even that was not enough. The next season, Gladbach finished on tenth place. And by the way, Bayern also got destroyed on the same day, the lost 5:0 to Kaiserslautern.

I was waiting for the 11-1 but Bilbao fcked it up

Madagascar League: hold my beer
(the people who don’t understand there was a game where a team won 149-0 to another team)

[corushii]

With Liverpool v Bournemouth, Bournemouth slapped back with a 1 - 0 win over Liverpool the same season so

[randomserbianguy]

No way Köln won the Bundesliga back then 💀
