0:12 against Borussia Moenchengladbach: Borussia Dortmund's greatest sporting humiliation came on April 29, 1978. On the last day of the 1977/78 Bundesliga season, Otto Rehhagel's team were annihilated 12:0 by Gladbach at Duesseldorf's Rheinstadion. It remains the highest score in Bundesliga history. Rehhagel had to go, goalkeeper Peter Endrulat never played for BVB again and moved to Tennis Borussia Berlin that summer.

Season 1999/00: the 30-million-euro star ensemble that Dortmund had assembled produced a ludicrous season of collapses. Among the signings were Victor Ikpeba and the Germany internationals Fredi Bobic and Christian Woerns. Installed as title favorites and at times league leaders, Dortmund only just avoided relegation after two coaching changes.

Rookie coach Matthias Sammer and veteran Udo Lattek, then 65 and seven years out of the game, had to rescue the staggering club. They still finished only 11th. From Matchday 18 to Matchday 32 of that disaster season Dortmund went without a win and equaled the club negative record of six defeats in a row set in the relegation season of 1971/72.

2017/18 Champions League season, a dismal Borussia side set a new German low in the competition. With only two points from six group games against Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and APOEL Nicosia, Peter Bosz's team dropped into the Europa League, where the run of embarrassment continued. Now coached by Peter Stoeger, they managed only one win in four more matches, a 3:2 against Atalanta Bergamo.

Relegation 1971/72: the relegation season of 1971/72 brought with it numerous club negative records that still stood as of December 2019, including 17th place as the worst final league position, fewest goals scored, fewest points and fewest wins.

with it numerous club negative records that still stood as of December 2019, including 17th place as the worst final league position, fewest goals scored, fewest points and fewest wins. It also featured Dortmund's first double-digit defeat. On November 27, 1971 BVB lost 11:1 to Bayern Munich at the Gruenwalder Strasse ground.

Gerd Mueller scored four times. Former Pirmasens player Dieter Weinkauff at least made it 6:1 for Dortmund at one point.

a feast for haters. Dortmund produced the worst first half of any season in club history, taking just 15 points and sitting 17th. Under Klopp, the 2008/09 season also brought the club record for draws: 14 of them, which prevented any better finish than sixth.

Against Paderborn: a 0:3 against SC Paderborn on November 22, 2019 marked the biggest half-time deficit in BVB history at home.

November 22, 2019 marked the biggest half-time deficit in BVB history at home. Previously Dortmund had conceded three goals in one half at home on November 21, 1987 against Hamburg, but were only 3:2 down at the break and lost by that score. Before the Paderborn game, the last time Dortmund had trailed 3:0 at half-time in a home Bundesliga match was on April 15, 1983 against Bayer Leverkusen.

As in 2019, that match still ended 3:3.

Season 2007/08: Dortmund's worst season since the three-point rule was introduced in 1995 was 2007/08. Thomas Doll still reached the DFB Cup final, but 13th place in the league led to Dolly's replacement at the end of the season. In 1985/86, by contrast, 28 points meant only 16th and a relegation playoff against Fortuna Cologne, lost 2:0 then won 3:1 and 8:0.

long been able to pose as four-minute champions in 2001, but what was that compared with Dortmund's final-day drama in 1992? On May 16 BVB entered the day as one of three teams level on points and took over top spot in Duisburg after Stephane Chapuisat scored in the ninth minute. They stayed there for 77 minutes until Guido Buchwald headed ten-man Stuttgart into the lead in Leverkusen and ultimately to victory. The superior goal difference favored Stuttgart, and BVB had to wait three more years for their first Bundesliga title.

in the 89th minute of the all-German Champions League final between Bayern and Dortmund at Wembley on May 25, 2013. Arjen Robben's late goal sent Dortmund into the valley of tears. After Ilkay Guendogan's equalizer from the penalty spot, Dortmund had been on top, but could not strike back in the remaining minutes. A year later Robben would also steal the DFB Cup final from BVB in extra time in Berlin.
