Season summary

Schalke claimed the UEFA Cup, defeating Roy Hodgson's Inter Milan 2–1 on aggregate in the final. The European triumph allowed Schalke to compete in the UEFA Cup the next season despite a 12th placed finish - a disappointing finish after finishing third the previous season.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
Notes:
  1. Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 won their respective European competitions in this season, so they qualified as title holders. As a consequence, the original UEFA Cup places of Dortmund and Stuttgart, who qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup as domestic cup winners, were awarded to Karlsruhe and 1860 Munich; the Intertoto Cup berths of Karlsruhe and 1860 were handed to Köln and, as Mönchengladbach did not apply for this competition, Hamburg.
