The 2007-08 campaign was a turbulent season of two halves for Borussia Dortmund, with Die Schwarzgelben slumping to a disappointing 13th-place finish in the Bundesliga, their lowest in two decades. However, the year was salvaged by a spectacular run to the DFB-Pokal Final, where they were narrowly beaten 2-1 in extra time by eventual double winners Bayern Munich, a runner-up spot that secured qualification for the UEFA Cup. Leading the league scoring charts was Mladen Petrić with 13 goals. This pivotal year was defined by the end of Thomas Doll's management and the subsequent appointment of Jürgen Klopp, marking the quiet beginning of a new, legendary era for the club.
