Statistics from the 2021/22 season
A positive goal difference in all four competitions | Christopher Nkunku played 51 of a possible 52 competitive games | Three players averaged 3.0 points per game
It’s time to take a look back on the season, one that ended with our first major trophy in the DFB-Pokal!
RBL were involved in three competitions right up until the end of the season. Domenico Tedesco’s side were the best in the Bundesliga in the second half of the campaign, made it all the way to the semi-finals of the Europa League and won the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin. We also took part in a fourth competition in 2021/22, the Champions League. All in all, it was an incredibly long season, but how many games did we actually play? And who scored the most goals? Which players had the best individual statistics?
Let’s find out!
