They might be lucky at first.
But, they are not lucky at all. I am sure that Dortmund achievement until becoming the finalist of UCL is because of their efforts. Dortmund will not get always luck every time they are playing. they really deserve it because they did much struggle on it. So, we really appreciate their achievement, because of their efforts, big efforts. although they are not really good in Bundesliga, but they are able to optimize the chance in the UCL. Dortmund came from group phase hell at that time. and he succeeded in becoming leader of the group. they even beat PSG during the group phase. and this is what opened the eyes of many people, including me, who initially underestimated Dortmund. But right now, really, Dortmund have done their best.

Some people are expecting an all-Bundesliga team for the Champions League final. But in the end that didn't happen. because, Real Madrid had just won the second leg semi-final match with a score of 2 - 1. And as usual, indeed, Bayern Munich was leading first, but Real Madrid was able to equalize the position from Joselu's goal and finally surpassed his goal with 1 additional goal from Joselu also in extra time. Yes, Real Madrid often scores goals in extra time. And with this, the UCL final this season is Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid.

That is likely to happen in Koln and Darmstadt they can not recover anymore while Mainz still has a chance to take the spot again in the Bundesliga 1st division, and not only this season we will have a new champion and because Bayern Munich right now can not do a thing about it as the points difference was enormous for the Leverkusen it was 84 to Bayern Munich's 69 it was really a shame for the defending champion but this season we got a new champion in the Bundesliga.


For sure it is really hard for a team in the 2nd division to get into the 1st division as many teams would want to get into the 1st division and if a team would likely get regulated then that team will need to get back into the hardship once again, but I really feel sorry for the Bayern Munich but for me it is good that we have a new Champion team but learning the truth that Bayern Munich is pretty much not the defending champion next season.

It matter, the outcome of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich actually favour the team Anceloti and they will be going to final to meet with Dortmund on the first of June, I'm not sure if there is any tricks Dortmund are yet to display in this Champions League but Real Madrid that I know have some kind of luck and it never finished. I didn't expect Joselu to lead Madrid this night but he actually did.

Dortmund might try but I don't know if they are that buoyant enough to win this Champions league but if they eventually do, then I will he happy to see Real Madrid lose atleast for second time in the season, they have not lose matches that much in this season and it will be unfair atleast to me and Manchester City they disgrace.

But this is so amazing about these competitions. You would never expect them to go that far and yet they did it. I thought that it would be game over for them against PSG, but they delivered a fight that made them earn it. However, the reality is that PSG hit the post like five or six times in the second match

Yet, they got lucky that they qualified for the Champions League already since the Bundesliga now has 5 starting teams instead of 4. Good question whether the participation in the final in Wembley saves Terzic the job. If they didn't get into the final, I think it would have been the end for him.

I could never imagine to see Dortmund in the final match of the Champions League because this team couldn't even get good results in the Bundesliga so far and compared to their performance in the last season they nearly failed. Now they can have the chance to even win the Champions League while compared to the other teams in this tournament they don't have famous superstar players and they didn't invest money to buy expensive players for their team.
Now Dortmund should just focus on the Champions League because there they can get the trophy while there is nothing to get for them in the Bundesliga.

We can say dortmund has always lost to Munich in dominating the Bundesliga, not only this season and even so far we have always seen if Dortmund always lags behind Munich in the title race, it is very natural to happen because it is Dortmund's habit of always selling their star players for big profits, but strangely they always do not run out of stock of talented young players so far,  I think it's unlucky for Dortmund this season in the domestic league because when Munich experienced a decline in performance they also experienced the same thing making it easier for Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga this season.

It is very natural for a team to shift their championship target to another competition if indeed a competition they can no longer achieve, like now when Dortmund is already impossible to win the Bundesliga and also has get a Champions League ticket next season of course they will focus on the Champions League because it is a target that they might be able to achieve even though it is actually difficult,  Dortmund are only one step away from winning the Champions League after they reached the final, and as I write this post, the other match between Madrid and Munich has almost ended with a provisional aggregate score of 2-3 for Munich win until the 84th minute, so I think if Munich can maintain their victory then the Bundesliga duo will meet in the final like the Der Klassiker match so far.

Leverkusen consistency this season has changed the overall competition in the Bundesliga, where the impact is breaking Bayern dominance and the difficulty of Dortmund breaking into the top four. Stuttgart and Leipzig add to the difficulty of the situation, so this is not just prioritizing the Champions League, but the Bundesliga is running more competitively than usual. Dortmund was lucky enough to reach the final, Edin Terzig fleet managed to break most predictions.

The difficulty of getting a ticket to the Champions League has pushed Dortmund beyond expectations, where they are trying their best to take advantage of the opportunities that are still available, they are just one step away from being able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. However, whoever Dortmund will face in the final, it will clearly not be an easy task, but it does not rule out the possibility that Dortmund will still have great luck.

In the Bundesliga, there are still two matches remaining, where Dortmund are 3 points adrift of Leipzig at the moment, and mathematically they still have a chance of securing tickets via domestic routes. Apart from all that, I didn't expect Dortmund to be able to go this far, meaning they managed to reach the final, which is another surprise in the Champions League this season.

Sometimes, teams are not able to get the same good results in the domestic league as they get in the Champions League or in the European League. So, the case experienced by Dortmund is a natural result, because there are many other teams every season, when they don't perform well in the domestic league but the team gets goodresults in other competitions . But regarding the Bundesliga teams this season it looks like it will be interesting,because after the success of Bayer Leverkusen who are unbeaten in all competitions, ofcourse it would also be interesting if for example the Europa League and Champions League trophies this season were won by a Bundesliga team. But about Dortmund,I have also said that this season seems to be a surprising result for Dortmund in the Champions League, because basically Dortmund is not considered capable of qualifying for the Champions League final at all, but in fact Dortmund managed to do it.

It is almost certain that Stuttgart is going to finish on the third position in the Bundesliga this season. Maybe even in the second if there is bad performance from Bayern Munich.

Yes I have agree that this is like Leverkusen. But the improvement from Stuttgart has been gradual, over a certain period of time. However, the improvement from Leverkusen has been almost instant. And it was definitely incredible to see such improvement in such short period of time. But he has consistency is everything. At the same time having a squad that is not plagued with injuries is also a blessing as well.

Union Berlin will be playing against Koln, a team that will definitely go down and I am sure that Berlin will win that game. Whereas Mainz will be playing against Dortmund, the team that is going to UCL finals, would be very weird to see them lose to Mainz, which means that it would be highly unlikely that Mainz would stay, I can see Union Berlin staying instead.

This is of course just an assumption and weirder things happened in the world of football so anything could happen. I am just saying that it would be quite tough for Mainz to stay, their situation looks like it will not work at all. Union Berlin losing to Koln could be the only thing that I can see happening, which isn't likely if you ask me and Koln has been a very bad team all year long, but Union Berlin hasn't been that good anyway.

In my opinion, saying that they are targeting the Champions League more than the Bundesliga doesn't make sense either, because the last time they were champions in the Bundesliga alone was the 2011/2012 season, and after that they couldn't become champions again because Bayern Munich was always successful and only this season Bayern Munich could not defend its title because it could not compete with Leverkusen. However, if you say they are aiming to win the Champions League because this is their last chance to become champions this season, that still makes sense.
In my opinion, Borussia Dortmund is not serious about competing, because they always prioritize business over trophies. If they want to then they really can as long as they don't always sell the talented players they have.
The 2 shining young players they sold are Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland for example, if they keep those players I think they will be much stronger than their current form.

Yes that's right, I also saw a different mentality shown by Dortmund in France, it was a different aura and a different style of play, not what we usually see in domestic league matches.

I think why Dortmund didn't really get a position in the domestic league because they felt that in the domestic league they were struggling enough with the amount of competition that appeared, or basically Terzic was more eyeing the champions league than the Bundes league, he maximized their chances in the champions league and yes he said he was now waiting in the final, waiting for the results of the Real Madrid and Bayern Munich match tonight.

German league top teams really tried this season; Bayern and Dortmund did very well in the Champions League despite their poor performances in the Bundesliga, Dortmund is able to qualify to the Champions League finals while Bayern’s qualification will be determined today after their match against Madrid at Berneboa tonight.
Leverkusen on the other hand did more than them because they beat both of them to win the Bundesliga title this season, and they are making extra effort to make it to the UEFA Europa league finals again this season since they have already defeated Roma 2-0 in the first leg.

Alonso is aiming to complete all their matches unbeaten, and if that’s achieved, it will be a great record for the team and the record will not be easy to brake anytime soon because it is always not easy to go a complete season undefeated.

Dortmund remaining two games are of course very easy because they will only face the bottom teams of the Bundesliga later, but I think for now Dortmund no longer care about the game and will focus their attention more on the Champions League final later, the games against Mainz and Darmstadt of course no longer affect their qualification to the Champions League next season,  Even if these two matches Dortmund suffered a defeat but still they could qualify for the Champions League despite ending the season in 5th place later, currently Dortmund has a gap of 15 points from Frankfurt and with two games remaining it is certainly impossible for Frankfurt to get rid of Dortmund's position in 5th place.

For now I think there is no more importance and also a very important match for Edin Terzic apart from the Champions League final, ending the season with 2, 3, 4 and 5 position for Dortmund this  season is no different because indeed they will still be able to qualify for the Champions League next season because indeed the Bundesliga this season gets 5 slots for UCL next season,  And maybe even the Bundesliga can send 6 teams to the Champions League next season if Dortmund and Munich win the Champions League this season, but for now what is certain is that the Bundesliga will send 5 of their teams to the Champions League next season because the Bundesliga is one of the two UEFA associations with the highest points coefficient this season.

Munich is very difficult to predict, that's why Madrid has to be careful when facing Munich today in the UCL second leg semi-final match, Munich has experienced bad results recently because they seem to be preparing a strategy and focusing on the UCL. Of course Madrid will not take Munich lightly, Tuchel looks like have prepared everything to be able to face Madrid today optimally, at least being able to win narrowly is more than enough because they want the UCL trophy this season to make up for their failure in the Bundesliga.

Kane and his friends will of course play better than before so this is a match that is difficult to predict therefore it is difficult to bet on this match even though I am more confident betting on Madrid than Munich, playing at Madrid's home ground will certainly be an additional strength for Madrid in front of all their supporters, I think Madrid will show their best game to be able to provide good results for all their supporters, Madrid only needs to win narrowly to qualify for the UCL final against Dortmund, Ancelotti seems to be preparing for that and we will see the results of today's match who will greatest in the UCL this season.

The players of Bayern Munich are going to be demotivated just by watching Ten Hag as the new coach. I also believe that a lot of players are also going to question the decision of the Bayern Munich club as well. Because this is the same coach who has not been able to do anything with Manchester United except for finishing in the third position once. And if he is actually the new coach of Bayern Munich, the morale of the players are definitely not going to be high. Needless to say that it is going to be a big mistake made by the Bayern Munich authority.

 I don’t understand why they will actually approach him when they have a lot of other options available? They have Zidane, Jose Mourinho and others to choose from. And they went to the coach which was literally one of the worst. Klopp is also a great option.

The UCL final is on 1st June. The last Bundesliga game is on 18th May, so they'll have over 2 weeks to rest. No need to "protect" their key players, in fact, they should utilise their strongest squad in the games to come to make sure they don't get too rusty from having too long break.

As for BvB's yesterday's game, despite the great 2-0 on aggregate, it wasn't their best game at all. PSG had plenty of chances but were out of luck in hitting the target. They had much better games in Bundesliga, but to win the league they need to be consistent in performance and that's what was lacking.

I agree that Bayern and Real Madrid are on similar level when they play at 100% of their abilities, but I find Real to be more consistent, whereas Bayern had a few really poor matches recently, which would make them an easier opponent. Especially given Borussia beat them 2-0 in their last game.

The two remaining matches are not too tough for Dortmund, on paper Mainz and Darmstadt can be beaten easily if you look at the difference in position in the standings list. Dortmund who is trying to finish in fourth place, must take advantage of these two matches to achieve victory. Edin Terzic certainly doesn't want to take risks because there are still much more important matches after successfully leading Dortmund to the UCL final.

This season passed in an extraordinary way, Dortmund were always unable to compete in the Bundesliga but were able to appear in the UCL final. It must be admitted that they are not very good in the Bundesliga, there are always obstacles that make it difficult for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga trophy. Dortmund must win the UCL trophy as an alternative route to appear in the UCL next season if they fail to finish in the top four in the Bundesliga.

Congratulations Dortmund, you broke my prediction. Even you made me lose money. But I think there are many besides me. Dortmund played well, they were more effective. PSG looked unlucky, they had a lot of tries but the goalposts always made them fail. I don't feel sure they can win but they have a chance to make Madrid or Munich fail to get trophies. They are experienced in reaching this phase, if I am not mistaken, these few years they can always reach the knockout phase.

All of top five teams in the Bundesliga have secured a ticket for the Champions League. Dortmund are really lucky though.    Because if the other extra quota for the tournament didn't come for the Bundesliga they were still going to be in a fierce competition with Leipzig. From now on it looks really risky to bet on the remaining games of top five teams at the same time.

However I assume Leverkusen would be worth taking the risk.    Because despite announcing their title already they are still not losing. The last win against Frankfurt was also a big destruction.
