German Bundesliga Table and Statistics
The German Bundesliga is the elite football league in Germany. The Bundesliga was started 54 years ago by the German football federation in 1963. VFB Leipzig was the first elite football club in Germany certified to participate in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich is the all time winners of the Bundesliga with 26 trophies in cabinet.
The club that tops the league table after the season is the winner of the league and awarded with a silver trophy. The top 3 clubs on the Bundesliga table gets automatic qualification to the UEFA champions league and the 4th place club on the table qualifies for playoffs to enter the UEFA champions league. The 5 and 6th placed clubs qualifies for the UEFA Europa league. The 17 and 18th placed clubs are automatically relegated to the Bundesliga 2. The 16 placed club will engage in a round robin playoff with a Bundesliga 2 club and whoever wins the game plays in the Bundesliga.
The 2016/17 German Bundesliga is matchday 21 old and half way down the finish line. RB Leipzig shockingly took the Bundesliga by storm after qualifying for the first time to play in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich is currently leading the Bundesliga table but certainly things are not sparkling as usual in the camp of the Deutsch giants. Clubs like Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and Borussia Dortmund are all struggling this season.
