The Bayern Munich defender has admitted that it is Dortmund’s title to lose this term as they have been in sensational form off-late.
The Bavarian giants were at the top of the table when they went into the winter break but have lost their place after a below par second-half of the season. The team slipped to as low as third on the table after their draw against
Hamburg SV but have are now only four points behind Borussia Dortmund in second place.
Boateng labelled Borussia Dortmund as favourites to win this season’s Bundesliga. The defender admitted that Jurgen Klopp’s side will be very difficult to stop as they have been in sensational form off-late and have some world-class
players.
The former Manchester City player added that Bayern will have to try and win all their remaining games this season so that they have a chance of claiming the honours. He admitted that the Borussians will not drop many points in
their remaining games so Bayern have to be consistent throughout.
“I do not think about them. The season is so long and we even have a game against them. We must win our own games. No, I do not think so. I believe that Dortmund will not lose many more games. If we win our own games, we would
have a good chance,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, manager Jupp Heynckes claimed that he is totally satisfied with his team’s progress. He admitted that the team has regained confidence after the win over Die Knappen at home and is confident that the results
will continue to come.
“I'm totally satisfied. I hope the team has rediscovered the belief that was to a certain extent lost. If we play like that, we needn't worry about anything,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich are four points adrift of Borussia Dortmund at the top with 11 games to play this season. The Munich based outfit will face Bayer Leverkusen in their next league fixture at the BayArena on Saturday, March 3, in a
bid to secure their 16 victory of the season.
