Borussia Dortmund's good start to the season has received its first irreparable scratch. After the 0-1 home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, it was clear: BVB will not win the cup this season either. A statement from BVB boss Lars Ricken has therefore aged poorly after just one week.
At the club's annual general meeting, the former professional announced: "We should once again show that we are title-worthy in the DFB-Pokal." Well...
A personal wish of the managing director has also died with this: "My special wish as a Borusse and native of Dortmund is that our future president Aki Watzke can hold the DFB-Pokal in his hands at the end of the season!"
A dream that has now become a longing.
Because Dortmund hasn't really been close to the cup since their last title win in 2021. Perhaps now, without the triple burden, they can achieve even more in the league and Champions League?
