Despite defeat in the Klassiker against Bayern: new club record for BVB | OneFootball

In the 2-3 defeat of BVB against FC Bayern Munich, not only was the direct duel lost, but the battle for the championship was likely decided as well. Eleven points behind should be enough for Bayern, who wobbled yesterday but did not fall, to no longer be seriously threatened by BVB. Nevertheless, Niko Kovac’s team set a club record yesterday.

This new club record was already set with the header goal by Nico Schlotterbeck to make it 1-0, as Spox notes. With that, BVB scored at least one goal in their 24th match of the season. This means Borussia Dortmund has reached a mark that the club had never before achieved in the Bundesliga. However, the Spox article does not reveal which season’s record BVB has surpassed with this feat.

BVB goals in all 24 matches since the start of the season

This new record is unlikely to be much comfort, as the team had to experience in this match at Signal Iduna Park that even a very strong performance of their own is not enough to defeat FC Bayern Munich these days. After having to say an unexpected goodbye to the Champions League earlier in the week, and having already failed in the DFB-Pokal, the season remains without further objectives, apart from defending second place in the Bundesliga.

The goal record of 24 consecutive matches with at least one goal could still be extended. Borussia’s next opponent is 1. FC Köln, where BVB will once again play the Bundesliga’s top match next Saturday evening. In the first half of the season, Dortmund won 1-0 thanks to a very late goal by Maximilian Beier in the sixth minute of stoppage time—thus keeping alive the streak that was extended to 24 matches yesterday.
