The 2015-16 campaign delivered a spectacular European comeback for Borussia Monchengladbach, as Die Fohlen dramatically rallied under new manager André Schubert. After a disastrous start led to the shock resignation of Lucien Favre, the team surged up the table to clinch a crucial 4th-place finish in the Bundesliga, securing a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League play-off round. Leading the charge was the sublime Raffael, whose 13 league goals proved vital in a season built on immense character and a stunning, memorable turnaround that secured a European place against all odds.
