The 2000-01 campaign was a dramatic season for Hamburger SV as The Rothosen slumped to a 13th-place finish in the Bundesliga, despite the incredible scoring form of Sergej Barbarez. Barbarez's phenomenal 22 goals earned him the prestigious Bundesliga 'Golden Boot' as the league's joint-top scorer. However, the season is immortalized for their dramatic role in the most controversial Bundesliga final day, known as the '4 minutes in May.' Their late 1-1 draw against title rivals Bayern Munich, sealed by a last-second Patrik Andersson free-kick, is remembered as the moment Hamburg inadvertently snatched the title away from Schalke 04 and handed it to Bayern.
