The 1990-91 campaign delivered a dramatic and ultimately frustrating season for Der FCB as Bayern Munich finished a close 2nd in the Bundesliga, just three points behind champions 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Leading the charge was the prolific striker Roland Wohlfarth, whose league-leading 21 goals earned him the Bundesliga's Golden Boot and proved vital for the side. This turbulent season, overseen by manager Jupp Heynckes, was defined by a humiliating first-round exit from the DFB-Pokal to fourth-tier minnows and a heartbreaking European Cup semi-final elimination by Red Star Belgrade, thanks to a dramatic, last-minute own goal from captain Klaus Augenthaler. It was a chaotic year that saw them win the DFB-Supercup but remains a painful, defining chapter that marked the end of the Heynckes era.
