As we have start for the Union Berlin things were clearly looking for their win, but two late goals give massive win to Koln, but sadly they are still not able to bring themselves into safe zone with already relegated to Bundesliga 2, and now we have chance for the Union Berlin to jump out of this danger zone and having interesting competition for the third team which will play playoff game against team is coming from the Bundesliga 2 for the chance into top league.

Two early goals were looking enough but sadly Union Berlin defense not able to hold things and concede two goals in die hard minutes of the game which give them defeat Koln and Mainz wins were really limelight in this round of the season with now all things are clear for all clubs.

I get your perspective that Dortmund didnt play hard against Mainz. Avoiding injury and exhaustion is wise ahead of the Champions League final. Real Madrid is no easy opponent, therefore they must be at their best. The rotation of important players by Edin Terzic was smart. The London showdown is the greater picture right now. This win saves Mainz, right? Gaining those three points must be a relief after trying to avoid relegation. You can image the relief and rejoicing! Low-lying clubs' seasons can be defined by instances like this.

I think it's ridiculous that they don't consider this match just because they're in the final because it's an uncertain thing so why boast any further and not pay attention to how they're doing in the ongoing competition.

Being in the final is great but that doesn't mean they shouldn't pay attention to the Bundesliga especially now that they're down compared to where they were last season so the Champions League final is ridiculous to use as an excuse.

They lost because they could not take advantage of the advantage that they were previously favorites but their performance in the match was inversely proportional to the expectations expected and that is a sign that they still have to work harder to improve their performance which is still a lot of gaps for the opponent to maximize in order to get an advantage over Dortmund.

In a battle of 2 potentially relegation teams, it was the hosts Cologne who came out on top.The decisive factor in the final week will be who will play in the playoffs.Union Berlin, despite being on the road, managed to close the first half ahead.Cologne managed to hold on to the match with goals in the last minutes and reduced the points difference with Union Berlin to 3. The battle between Union Berlin and Mainz is likely to continue in the last week as well.Mainz's 3-0 win over Dortmund has greatly increased their potential to stay in the league.Considering Dortmund's Champions League fatigue, Mainz was likely to win this match.

Borussia Dortmund not taking their match against Mainz seriously doesn't mean it was as a result of the fact that they have already qualified for the champions league next season, it was just that the players felt relaxed knowing that they are in the champions league finals now so they don't want to overstress themselves which may lead to injury before the finals between them and Real Madrid so that was just the case because I know they will want to give Real Madrid tough play even if Madrid will win them but it will not be in an easy energy.

Just a few days after defeating PSG to win the right to enter the Champions League final this season, many Dortmund players were probably given a rest by coach Edin Terzic. Reserves will be used and young players from the academy may also be given a chance to shine. With a patchwork squad, Dortmund's system is difficult to operate smoothly. And in defense, the away team is too vulnerable. Mainz had good opportunities early. Dortmund experienced a poor match against Mainz.

Dortmund is playing to maintain their form before the Champions League final because they are sure to finish in 5th place. They are 14 points ahead of the team behind. And I believe that the next match with Darmstadt is only for training and testing purposes by coach Edin Terzic. This can also be considered your next opportunity to bet.

I'm not surprised at all because Dortmund have already confirmed a place in the Champions League for next season, and it is also predicted to be an advantageous match for Mainz who have currently managed to get out of the relegation playoff zone, but the number of goals scored by Mainz is the big surprising because it was three goals without reply, even though Dortmund controlled possession of the ball, there wasn't much they could do.
Mainz benefited from the conditions faced by Dortmund, and in the last match against Wolfsburg they only needed one point to remain in their current position and make Union Berlin compete in the relegation playoff and if Union Berlin manage to win then they will remain in this division, looking at what happened to Union Berlin is quite pathetic.

While no other team from the Bundesliga has qualified for the Champions League final, Borussia Dortmund are the only team to have qualified for the Champions League final. Many strong teams have been eliminated from the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League but Borussia Dortmund have finally managed to qualify for the Champions League final. However, I would appreciate the performance of Borussia Dortmund this season because without a great performance, it is not possible to qualify for the finals of a tournament like the Champions League. 

Although they have cleared all the hurdles in the Champions League so far, it won't be so easy for this team to cross the final hurdle now as their opponent in the final is Real Madrid who are hot favorites to win the Champions League title this season.

No doubt this defeat is not surprising and bothering for the Dortmund with they are enjoying their historic entry into Champions League, but Mewa Arena Mainz is surely going to have huge celebrations as their team is going to stay here in Bundesliga for the another season which is huge success for them three early goals give them good start, and they keep things in control for 90 minutes which give them good win and good confidence for the staying into Bundesliga and having chance of improving their quality and performance for the next season.

Dortmund is also having good chance of staying int good shape as they are going to face Real Madrid at the Wembley Stadium, London on 1st June even both teams are well prepare for this big game but still Real Madrid with his record in Champions League is hot favourite for the title.

Yeah the league is gradually coming to an end, I enjoyed this season Bundesliga a lot because there competition this season was quite interesting because unlike previous seasons Bayern Munich was the only club that keeps ruling the league but do to the competition on this league they were unable to maintain there Bundesliga wining record, however one of the club I cherished so much is Borussia Dortmund because it surprises me with how far they have gone on this league considering how difficult it was for them at the beginning of the season to the extend that I was thinking they will not qualify for the champions League next season but they have managed to scale through.

Apparently Terzic decided to fully concentrate on the Champions League, since in the Bundesliga they had already secured their place in the Champions League zone, and there was no point in fighting Leipzig to rise one place higher, it was better to concentrate all efforts on the finals of the Champions League. They are lucky that this year the Bundesliga gets 5 places, otherwise it would be surprising how the Champions League finalist could not qualify for this tournament.

Dortmund is currently ranked 5th in the bundesliga and mathematics of course Dortmund position can no longer be disturbed by other teams below it with 1 game left at this time, Dortmund certainly has a great chance to play in the Champions League next season because indeed this season the Bundesliga gets 5 slots for bundesliga teams can to play in the Champions League next season,  As you asked, if indeed this season if Dortmund is outside the Champions League zone and on the other hand they managed to come out as Champions League champions this season, of course Dortmund can play in the Champions League next season because so far the team that won the Champions League and also the Europa League is entitled to 1 automatic ticket to qualify for the Champions League the following season.

This season Dortmund is in the Champions League zone and also they are in the Champions League final, so if Dortmund can win the Champions League this season it will automatically provide an advantage for other teams in the Bundesliga who are ranked 6th in the standings can play in the Champions League next season, because indeed the slot owned by Dortmund via the group position route will be transferred to another team later because Dortmund has automatically qualified via the champion path Champions League this season.

In this season, we are having three massive surprises with 16th spotted Stuttgart is having place into top three ranks 6th spotted Bayer Leverkusen is ending their season with undefeated title and Union Berlin which was at the fourth spot is ending at the 16th spot even we are having few more surprises, but these three created good which needs to highlighted, but now we are also having good changes at the top like RB Leipzig is consistently giving good performance and having their spot into top spots Bayer Leverkusen is also good, but they need to stay at this level which will help them for having stay here at the top level.

Serhou Guirassy amazing player and his consistency and quality is also impressive with most chances he needs to stay here at the Stuttgart which will help them for having to keep this performance and consistency but still other options are also available.

Dortmund have nothing more to fight in Bundesliga because the fifth position is enough for them to get a last ticket of Bundesliga to play in Champions League next season. Bundesliga and Serie A will have two extra spots for a fifth position of each league, to join Champions League.

Dortmund will have a final match in Champions League with Real Madrid and they have to reserve best players for that match. They have less quality players than Real Madrid and reserve best players for the final is very important. Real Madrid can have many good substitutions to use but with Dortmund, it is impossible because they don't have too may good players on bench for substitutions.

The defeat by Mainz is a shocked result but it can be explained as above.

While we were in group stage no one having any prediction about Borussia Dortmund can reach into last four with their group performance and Bundesliga performance were clearly indicating things could be not favourable for them to have things like these, but they have done historic achievement and have spot into top two which is amazing stuff even their squad is not on level which give them success like this with their defense is conceded most goals in top five and their attack is also weakest in top five but still they have done good job and now going to face Real Madrid which is going to be another interesting encounter with any team can win from here even mostly are favouring Real Madrid as hot favourite for their previous record and current performance.

Reading your comment had me wondering, if Borussia Dortmund were outside of the "safe zone" for the Champions League next season, and they won this years Champions League, would they still qualify for the Champions League next season? Is the winner automatically qualified for the next season?

The UEFA Champions League title is priority for Borrusia Dortmund and they would jeopardize their chances of lifting it with some random opponents in league matches. Dortmund coach, Edin Terzic is preventing fatigue on his players by all means. Mainz flogged Borrusia Dortmund and we expected the defeats because the away team rested most of their best XI in preparation for the UEFA Champions League final where they face Real Madrid. Edin Terzic will thoroughly implement a solid strategy to enable them become winners and also a threat to Real Madrid.

Dortmund is clearly not aiming for anything else in the Bundesliga because its position can be said to be safe in being in the Champions League zone next season. The difference in points with Frankfurt is 14 points adrift even though Dortmund has lost in its last 2 matches, it will not change anything. I am very sure that currently Dortmund is preparing for the match. what is more important for him to win is the Champions League final which will be a big match for Real Madrid and also Dortmund, all corners of Europe will definitely watch this big match to see who will win the Champions League title. Real Madrid will be the bookies' favorites to win the Champions League title but Dortmund could also provide an unpredictable surprise.

Mainz is at least very lucky because Dortmund did not play at full strength in the Bundesliga towards the end of this season, therefore Mainz took advantage of Dortmund's weakness to win the match by at least winning 1 more match or achieving a draw. Mainz will remain in Bundesliga 1 and will survive not being relegated Mainz's next opponent is Wolfsburg, a club which is ranked 12th which is quite safe from the relegation zone so winning or losing doesn't mean anything for Wolfsburg.

In fact, Dortmund was not part of the favorites to hold the UCL title during the group stage at that time and people or even bookmakers only favored big teams that had higher quality players but with the advantage of Dortmund being able to improve the performance of its players, it could produce good results. It's very good this season to be able to reach the final round even though you will face the most difficult team.
there are no players who look shining in Dortmund line up and as you said, some players are just free players or on loan from other teams, like Sancho, even though he is only on loan, but in fact, with Dortmund advantages, they can build Sancho into a more talented player.
Dortmund chances will be very big in the UCL as long as they don't ignore every single gap that Madrid is always targeting.

If we understand that Dortmund can actually get an even bigger opportunity if they are able to come up with a strategy of playing the ball up top which will make things difficult for the Madrid players because physically Dortmund are far superior.
and if Dortmund wants to win the UCL title they shouldn't let Vinic and Rodrygo have free space in every minute.

Obviously, no one has ever made a previous prediction that Dortmund will reach the UCL final based on its performance in the Bundesliga, which is still having difficulty competing for the title. You could say this season is a very good season for Dortmund. They didn't spend too much money in the transfer market to bring in players, only outcast players from other clubs were brought in and then managed to be polished into important players in their squad. Dortmund opportunity to win the Champions League is wide open, they have the quality to win this most prestigious competition.

Real Madrid is indeed a tough team, but they can still be beaten if Dortmund manages to take advantage of every opportunity they have in front of their opponent's goal. I hope the referee is able to maintain his neutrality in this game, so that incidents that are detrimental to Bayern Munich do not happen again when the referee excludes Var when disallowing De Ligt goal which is considered offside.
