2004–05 SV Werder Bremen season

Season summary

Werder Bremen never came close to retaining their Bundesliga title and finished 18 points behind champions Bayern Munich. This was still good enough for another season in the Champions League, albeit entering in the third qualifying round. The club also failed to retain its DFB-Pokal crown, being eliminated in the semi-finals by Schalke.
