Ranking the 9 best goal-scoring Bundesliga seasons of the 2020s decade so far

Even though the Bundesliga season is actually the shortest of any top five league since there are only 18 teams in the first division, meaning every team plays four fewer games per season, the German top flight has become known for gaudy goal-scoring statistics. But in case anyone keeps trying to apply the "Bundesliga tax" to downplay the accomplishments of top strikers in German football, Erling Haaland quickly dispelled that notion by breaking the single-season Premier League goals record in his first season with Manchester City, scoring more goals (36) than he ever did with Borussia Dortmund.

Perhaps no league in the world is more famous for creating quality goalkeeping talent than the Bundesliga, and that goes beyond the obvious fact that the literal GOAT of goalkeepers, Manuel Neuer, was made in the Bundesliga at Schalke and became a legend at Bayern Munich.

Ranking the 10 best Bundesliga goalkeepers of 2023

Out of all of Europe's top five leagues, the Bundesliga is perhaps most famous for producing top-caliber goalkeepers. Aside from the most obvious star, Manuel Neuer, the league has produced great keepers in other leagues, such as Barcelona superstar Marc-André ter Stegen. Neuer remains a star in goal for Bayern München, but is he No. 1 on our list of the best Bundesliga goalkeepers? And which players join him on the list?
