Season summary
[edit]Helsingborg stunned the footballing world when they defeated Italian giants Inter Milan 1-0 on aggregate to become the first Swedish club to reach the Champions League group stages. Unfortunately, Helsingborg's luck ran out in the group stage and they were soundly beaten in their first three matches; they recovered to chalk up respectable draws against Paris Saint-Germain and that season's European champions, Bayern Munich, but finished bottom of their group and failed to even drop down into the UEFA Cup.
