The 2020-21 campaign delivered a devastating end to an era for Werder Bremen, as Die Werderaner finished a crushing 17th in the Bundesliga, resulting in their first relegation in 41 years. The season, marked by a seven-game losing run and a late managerial change, saw the team unable to stop their slide despite the efforts of striker Niclas Füllkrug, who netted 6 goals in a campaign that was otherwise anchored by a defiant run to the DFB-Pokal Semi-finals. The final-day defeat condemned the historic club, ending their record-breaking Bundesliga status in a painful and defining chapter of their modern history.
