They are in CL mode but Bayern is better in my opinion. 1-1 now Lewandowski scored.

2-1 after a penalty for Bayern. Surprised that Robben still shoots penaltys against Dortmund but he is so much on fire today.

Dortmund build up a little bit of hope just to hurt their fans that even more.

Welp that was sad.

Bayern deserved to win this. Robben MVP imo.

If Mensol says a Guardiola team deserved something it must mean they were godlike

.

Dortmund has now 7 points out of 10 games and is on place 16 which means they would go to league 2 by now. But still i think this was the best performance of the year especially Reus made a big "buy me" statement.

Dont worry, bvb will be top4 easily. They are always better at second half of bundesliga season. 39, 36, 47 pts in the last 3 seasons.

Dortmund played well in the beginning but in the end it was just bayern playing.
25-10 shots, 9-2 corners etc., very well deserved victory. Penalty call was also correct

The game at nou camp is pretty good.
Some back and forth action and since barca has only hit the woodwork it has tension.
2nd half just started.

*3 post hits so far, lmao

I dont know the margine of error gets smaller and smaller for them. Leverkusen is 9 points up, i think they will make top 4 for sure and i think one out of Gladbach, Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg will make it too.

They just need that little bit of luck one goal here one offside thats wrong there and 3 days without a new injury then they still have a chance but they have to win now.

They are up against Gladbach at home (super hot right now), Paderborn, Frankfurt, Berlin, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen so not an easy shedule until the winter break but i think to have a legitimate shot at top4 they have to get at least 12 points out of it.

Dortmund played a pretty good game the first half, but had no ideas in the 2nd half and the Grosskreutz-Kagawa substitution was very questionable. They're still really missing the likes of Gundogan, Sahin, and Kuba. Mkhi continues to fall short of his potential, and the defensive midfield just can't be trusted. If Freiburg win tomorrow, Dortmund will be tied for last place (only ahead of Werder Bremen on goal differential).

Dortmund's problems are simple and SHOULD be solved in time to get them into a CL spot.

They just can't play against a set defense that parks themselves behind the ball and counters. They have absolutely no inspiration or creativity when facing that. It's obvious when comparing their CL games + this game against the earlier losses in the BL. They just need to learn how to break down a defense with possession and quality passes and then they should be able to climb the table quite easily.

Aside from that, they need the injury woes to stop. I have no idea where Gundogan was today, but he, Kuba, and Sahin all need to get back, Hummels needs to get back in form (and not be injured), and Grosskreutz either needs to get in form or not come off the bench as much (he's looked HORRIBLE for the past few weeks).

Unfortunately, there's no place for new teams to break into the European elite these days, and Dortmund will continue to get picked apart by big-money clubs; Reus will probably go to Bayern next year, Hummels will stay for a couple more and then go to a big-money club somewhere else, Gundogan will probably leave in that time as well, and Dortmund will be left with 2nd-tier players that show a lot of potential and promise but can't step up to the same level as the world class players that get thrown around the European market. Dortmund's been in decline since 2012, and there simply isn't room for a club to become any kind of European power (and therefore be able to keep superstars) unless they're bankrolled. They'll end up back where the were before, in the same spot that Schalke is (making European competition often enough, but not being a true contender).

I'm pretty sure I called it two years ago before Bayern won the Treble, but Bayern is going to win the German Double for a minimum of 5 straight years, and I'm sticking to that prediction.
