After Nico Schlotterbeck, Waldemar Anton is now also increasing the pressure ahead of the Bundesliga top match against FC Bayern. BVB still believe they have a chance in the title race

FC Bayern are once again getting a clear message from Dortmund in the title race. After Nico Schlotterbeck had recently publicly declared that they wanted to „become champions“, Waldemar Anton has now followed suit. In an interview with Sky, the centre-back made it clear that BVB have not given up on their title dreams

„Anyone who doesn’t have title dreams is wrong for Borussia Dortmund. We’re doing everything we can to make it exciting again. But we have to do our job well and, above all, win the close games,“ said the 29-year-old. Anton thus underlined Dortmund’s clear ambition to put pressure on the record champions until the end of the season
