Uli Hesse-Lichtenberger in Germany

Wow, this is one strange Bundesliga season. Werder Bremen, by Christmas most people's favourites to lift the title, began the second half of the season by losing no less than three games in a row - and then drop additional points at lowly Gladbach due to a stoppage-time equaliser.

At the same time, the dynasty we affectionately refer to as 'Bayern' are beaten by Nuremberg and Aachen and then can't score against Bochum. Just 21 days ago, the team trailed Schalke by a whopping 12 points and coach Ottmar Hitzfeld declared: 'We are now playing for third place only.'
