With 60 seasons in the books, the Bundesliga has given fans at home and abroad some of the best football the world has seen since its foundation in 1963. Europe’s best attended league, the one with the most goals and a relentless record champion in Bayern Munich.
In its 60 years, the Bundesliga has seen it all: dramatic duels, spectacular saves, pulse-racing games and, above all, many, many goals. Here are some of the best Bundesliga records from the business end of the pitch.
This season marks a milestone occasion in Bundesliga history: on 24 August, Germany’s top flight celebrates the 60th anniversary of the league’s founding. The 1963/64 season was the start of a success story that continues to this day.
On August 24, 1963, the ball landed in the box after just 58 seconds and Borussia Dortmund s Friedhelm Timo Konietzka was in the right place at the right time to score the first goal in Bundesliga history, with Werder Bremen on the receiving end.
