The most dreamed day of Borussia Dortmund It turned out to be his worst nightmare, as he drew against Mainz (2-2) and saw his dream of becoming German champion 11 years later. Bayern, always Bayern, won at home to Cologne and won their 11th consecutive Bundesliga, extending their record. Jude Bellingham, coming off knee problems, is on the bench.
At first, despite his attack, he seemed uncomfortable Borussia Dortmund, victim of pressure before a mainz that no one played. Apparently not. The group of Bo Svenssonwho has already won Bayern3-1 on April 22, he became the judge of this Bundesliga.
A victory will give him, regardless of the result of bavaria, the Bundesliga in Borussia Dortmund. But his game is dense, with problems creating chances. And he also suffered the severe shock of the advance of mainz thanks to the purpose of Andreas Hanche-Olsen through a header and takes advantage of a ball from Edimilson Fernandes at minute 15.
Of all these, from 8′ the Bayern in Cologne thanks for a bit of Kingsley Coman. And not only did Borussia Dortmund not react, but Mainz, with an excellent Karim Onisiwo, gave them a hard time. The nervousness in the ranks of Terzic’s team grew stronger.
That this was not the afternoon for Dortmund was shown again when Sébastien Haller missed a penalty awarded, after consulting the VAR, by Dominik Kohr to Raphael Guerreiro. It is 19′. Another big blow to Edin Terzic’s dream team. Jude Bellingham, in all of this, on the bench, because he is out suffering from knee problems.
That’s not all. In the minute 24′ came Mainz’s second goal, the work of Karim Onisiwo, with a header, taking advantage of the ball from Jae-sung Lee. 0-2 and Bayern continue to win in Cologne. Dortmund need 3 goals to get back.
It was in the second half when the substitution of Giovanni Reyna in the 63rd minute for Donyell Malen was able to change the game of Borussia Dortmund, who began to really overcome the goalkeeper of Mainz, a Finn Dahmen who was at a great height. Haller, Hummels, Moukoko… Dortmund finally created a danger and Guerreiro scored to close the gap taking advantage of the ball from Reyna.
However, the second one did not come. And then came the good news for Borussia Dortmund: Cologne drew against Bayern thanks to a penalty goal converted by Dejan Ljubicic. And just like the good, the bad. Bayern’s 1-2. In the last breath Niklas Süle made it 2-2, a great goal. Final whistle. Champion of Germany again. Borussia Dortmund is crying again.
