VfL Wolfsburg managed to take a sensational title in the Bundesliga, their first one ever. Coach Felix Magath formed an attacking lineup, which included strikers Edin Džeko and Grafite, the pair scoring 54 goals between them, much due to the help of attacking midfielder Zvjezdan Misimović, the 1. FC Nuremberg signing providing 20 assists.
