The 1995-96 campaign delivered triumphant domestic glory for Borussia Dortmund as Die Schwarzgelben clinched their second consecutive Bundesliga title. Under manager Ottmar Hitzfeld, BVB retained the championship with a comfortable six-point margin over rivals Bayern Munich. Leading the charge was the legendary club captain Michael Zorc, whose 15 crucial league goals anchored a side built on a star-studded squad including Matthias Sammer and Andreas Möller. It was a golden year that solidified Dortmund's status as the new dominant force in German football, marked also by winning the DFB-Supercup and a run to the UEFA Champions League Quarter-finals.
