Will Michael Gregoritsch become the second-worst Bundesliga player of all time against Stuttgart this Saturday? At least when it comes to conceding 100 defeats in the German upper house as quickly as possible, that would be the case.
The tall Austrian has made 207 appearances for Hamburg, Schalke, Augsburg and Freiburg and lost 99 times. The 28-year-old is approaching an inglorious milestone.
Gregoritsch missed the dubious honor of setting a new record. But it could still be enough for second place in the ranking of Bundesliga players who needed the fewest games to collect 100 defeats. Here is the ranking…
