Borussia Dortmund endured a devastating end to their season, narrowly missing out on their first Bundesliga title in 11 years due to a difference in goal count. Despite their valiant efforts in securing a 2-2 draw against Mainz, Edin Terzic’s team fell short as Bayern Munich clinched the championship with a thrilling 2-1 win over Koln, thanks to a late goal by Jamal Musiala under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel.
Dortmund found themselves in a difficult position from the start, trailing 2-0 in the first half due to goals from Andreas Hanche-Olsen and Karim Onisiwo. Furthermore, Sebastien Haller’s weak penalty was saved, compounding their struggles. While Raphael Guerreiro provided a glimmer of hope with a goal in the second half, Musiala’s late strike for Bayern at the RheinEnergie Stadion rendered Niklas Sule’s last-minute equalizer for Dortmund insignificant in determining the title outcome.
