Borussia Mönchengladbach is one of the most famous and most supported German soccer clubs. Founded in 1900, it took 20 years to the club's first title: the West German Championship. In 1960 the first national title, the German Cup, was won. After entering the Bundesliga in 1965, coach Hennes Weisweiler led a young team into the club's most successful period, winning the national championship five times (1970-71, 1975-77), the one time German Cup, entering four times the UEFA Cup finals, winning the Cup two times (1975, 1979). In 1977, Borussia lost the final of the European Cup against Liverpool. Because of the very offensive philosophy and their powerful and successful play, the team won supporters all over Germany. Because of the small stadium and limited finances, they were perceived as the opposite to Bayern Munich, the other dominating club of this time.

The golden era ended with the beginning of the 1980s. The club had to sell the best players to be financially competitive, and without the extraordinary talent of coaches like Hennes Weisweiler and Udo Lattek it was not possible to stay this successful. Since these days, the only title, another German Cup, was won in 1995. The club has performed poorly since the mid-1990s, even with players such as Anton Polster and was forced to spend two years in the second league between 1999 and 2001 until returning to the Bundesliga.
