The 2021-22 campaign was a season of transition and consolidation for VfL Wolfsburg as Die Wölfe secured a 12th-place finish in the Bundesliga. Navigating a year of managerial changes that saw both Mark van Bommel and Florian Kohfeldt take the helm, the team returned to the prestigious stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Leading the charge was the clinical young forward Lukas Nmecha, whose 8 league goals and 10 across all competitions proved vital in a campaign built on defensive grit and the mid-season arrival of Max Kruse. It was a year that tested the club's resilience following a top-four finish and remains a significant chapter in their pursuit of consistency among Germany's footballing elite.
