Bundesliga ‘Relegation Rollercoaster’ details wild playoff battle

The Bundesliga playoff battle to conclude the 2023/24 season was one of the most unpredictable stories in recent soccer history. The team finishing 16th in the Bundesliga, Bochum took on the third-place team from that season’s 2. Bundesliga. In this case, that was Fortuna Dusseldorf, a side that last played in the top flight in 2020. The tight affair went down to the wire, and the Bundesliga was capturing every moment along the way.

Relegation Rollercoaster is a new feature the Bundesliga produced to capture the hunt to stay in the Bundesliga. For much of the close of the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign, fans focused on Bayer Leverkusen.

That drama from the closing stages of the Bundesliga seasons is not available in a six-part documentary series organized by the DFL. The entire program is available on the Bundesliga website.

Koln, Bochum, Union Berlin, Mainz and Heidenheim hovered around the bottom four. The Bundesliga then covered some of the major moments from the close of their season.

Many of the games among the relegation candidates had significance as to how the final table shaped up.

The series concludes with the aforementioned relegation playoff series between Fortuna Dusseldorf and Bochum. After losing 3-0 at home to Dusseldorf, Bochum needed a miracle to keep its Bundesliga hopes alive. The documentary crew captured how that unfolded in Dusseldorf.
