Jurgen Klopp’s side have proven that they are capable of taking on the big guns but whether they carry on their domestic form in Europe remains to be seen.
Borussia Dortmund secured their second successive and their eighth overall Bundesliga title this season as they once again showed high spending Bayern Munich what they can achieve. The Borussians have been in sensational form throughout
the campaign and have proved many detractors wrong with their impressive showings.
Bayern were the dominant team in the first-half of the campaign as they ended on top of the table before the winter break. However, Borussia Dortmund were sensational in the second-half as they took advantage of Jupp Heynckes’
side’s disappointing start after the one-month break.
Although Dortmund have won their second league title in two years, their form in Europe has been disappointing. The champions were knocked out in the group stages this year and their form was in complete contrast to the displays
in the league.
On the other hand, rivals Bayern Munich have been sensational in the UEFA Champions League as they have reached their second final in three years. They will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 after defeating Real Madrid in the last four. The Bavarian
giants will be looking for redemption as they lost 2-0 to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan in Madrid.
It will be interesting to see how Dortmund comeback next season in Europe after the disappointments this season. The team needs to perform well to ensure their status as a successful club as domestic success alone is not enough.
The Black Yellows have a great squad at their disposal and Jurgen Klopp has some of the best young talent in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 in his team. Mario Gotze has signed a new deal to stay with the club thus playing down speculation of his departure
at the end of the season. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 has also shown his desire to stay for another two years which is another positive.
The club have also splashed the cash this season as they have acquired in-form striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 from Borussia Monchengladbach. The player has been in sensational form for the Foals this and has been influential in securing a
UEFA Champions League place for his side in this campaign. The attacker will be a valuable addition to the team as his style of play suits Dortmund to the T.
However, there has been speculation recently that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 with the likes
of Manchester United interested in his acquisition. This could be a huge blow for the side as the Japanese has been one of the best players in the Bundesliga this season.
Dortmund will have to spend money in the transfer market this summer if Kagawa departs in order to match the heavyweights in Europe. They have to sign one or two world-class players who have the experience at the highest level
to match the performances of the likes of Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
