The annual table of the Bundesliga 2021

The football year 2021 has been history in the Bundesliga since Sunday evening. This includes the past twelve months, among other things, because of the effects of the corona pandemic, but other topics also repeatedly made headlines. A constant that lasted in 2021 was the dominance of FC Bayern.

In the 38 games that the record champions played in the league from January to December inclusive, he scored 91 points, 15 more than his first rival, Borussia Dortmund. Munich won the most, lost the least, scored the most goals and conceded the fewest: The lonely circles that FC Bayern draws in this country continued to manifest in 2021.

Bavaria, above all, more consistent than Dortmund

Once again, the consistency of the industry leader is particularly noteworthy. Other clubs in the Bundesliga can certainly keep up over shorter periods of time. A look at the monthly tables, for example, shows that fussball.news over the entire year. Bayern were three times ‘month champions’, as often as BVB. Nevertheless, there is a gaping gap between the teams at the end of the calendar year 2021.

Frankfurt clearly a third force

After all, Dortmund clearly secured second place in the annual ranking with 76 points. Behind them, Eintracht Frankfurt, is already a surprise team. The fact that Hessen scored only six points less than BVB in 2021 was probably something that very few football fans had in mind. SGE’s eleven point lead over RB Leipzig also shows how impressive Eintracht has been in the past twelve months. All the more annoying that at the end of the 2020/21 season there was no ticket for the premier class.

Freiburg and Mainz in lockstep sensational

Had the current season been over after the first half of the season, SC Freiburg would have secured participation in the Champions League as a sensational third-place in the table. In the annual table, the Breisgauers are on a par with VfL Wolfsburg and FSV Mainz 05 on points. The Rheinhessen are perhaps the even bigger surprise, after all, Mainz was almost relegated when Bo Svensson took over the head coach on January 4th, 2021.

Leverkusen, Gladbach, Hertha among the disappointments

In comparison, some of the consistently highly traded clubs have been disappointing. Bayer Leverkusen, in tenth place in the annual ranking, and Borussia Mönchengladbach one place behind, had other resolutions when the Bundesliga started in 2021. The same applies to Hertha BSC or FC Augsburg. The Fuggerstadt club are among the clubs that have spent the entire year in the Bundesliga, the one with the fewest points. VfL Bochum deserves one comment: The promoted team scored more points in 17 games in 2021 than the relegated Werder Bremen and FC Schalke 04 scored in 21.
