Game of the season: ecstasy in Lisbon
After earning four points from their first four UEFA Champions League outings following a 3-0 defeat against Sporting Clube de Portugal, a 1-0 win over Olympique de Marseille as well a goalless draw and a 3-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, the Eagles needed to win their last two group games in order to reach the knockout rounds – and they did just that!
A 2-1 triumph over Marseille at Deutsche Bank Park was followed by a sensational 2-1 win away to Sporting Lisbon on 1 November 2022 thanks to goals from Daichi Kamada und Randal Kolo Muani.
Newcomer of the season: Randal Kolo Muani
After joining on a free transfer from Nantes, Kolo Muani enjoyed an unbelievable season, registering 23 goals and 14 assists in all competitions, of which 16 and 11 respectively came in the Bundesliga. His displays caught the eye both domestically and internationally, earning him a maiden call-up to the senior France national team.
Furthermore, his six goals in the DFB Cup equalled a single-season club record set by Cha Bum-kun in 1980/81.
