With animals on the pitch, goalkeeping mishaps and incorrect jerseys, the first half of the 2024/25 season has given giggles aplenty. bundesliga.com looks back at the funniest moments...

The Bundesliga is entertaining for a number of reasons. Goals galore, record-breaking sides and clashes between some of the biggest teams and stars in the game are normally at the top of the list - but there are always some lighter moments to enjoy.

The 2024/25 season has already shown us plenty in that regard - a feathered new training partner for Manuel Neuer, a cheeky and squeaky infiltrator to Bo Henriksen's touchline and some hilariously unfortunate events in Bundesliga 2.

There's something for everyone to enjoy.

We'll be back for more from 10 January when Borussia Dortmund host champions Bayer Leverkusen - and while the race for the title, scramble for European spots and battle to avoid relegation might be in the forefront of fans' minds in the new year - more fun and games along the way is to be expected.
