2006–07 VfL Wolfsburg season

VfL Wolfsburg only just saved the contract to stay in Bundesliga, for the second year running. In sharp contrast to the miserable league season, Wolfsburg reached the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal, where they went out in a narrow defeat to eventual league champions Stuttgart.
