In the 1976–77 season, Borussia Mönchengladbach won their fifth Bundesliga title with 44 points, one point more than runners-up Schalke 04 and third-placed Eintracht Braunschweig, who defeated them in the first round of the DFB-Pokal. In the European Cup, they defeated Austria Wien, Torino, Club Brugge and FC Dynamo Kyiv, only to lose to Liverpool F.C. by 3–1 in the final, which they had lost to four years ago in the finals of the UEFA Cup.
