Historic double: 2003/04 was as Werder as Werder gets. Since Matchday 16, after a 3:1 against Leverkusen, Thomas Schaaf's side had led the table and never surrendered that place. Six points clear of Bayern, Werder won the Bundesliga and then the DFB Cup with a 3:2 over Alemannia Aachen in Berlin.
In the shadow of Ailton, Ivan Klasnic became one of the discoveries of the season with 13 goals and 11 assists.
