People are curious about Dortmund's performance because they are wondering how successful they will be after selling Haaland. They weren't too impressive against Leverkusen in their first league game but they still secured a 1-0 win. However it is obvious that they still need a significant improvement in their effort. This is not enough for staying in the title race mathematically for a long time. I'm not saying that they can keep up with Bayern Munich until the end but at least they can hold on for longer.
Leverkusen is an amazing team aswell, I surely will not underestimate them even though they have lost to Dortmund, well I really think Dortmund and Leverkusen are equal teams, and the result can be either one around, and for Dortmund, I think they are not completed yet, and right now the lost of Erling Haaland is a big adjustment for them, and right now Sebastien Haller is out because of his current condition, and Dortmund will have to suffice with their current rosters, And I think we need to give credit to Leverkusen as well they were after all landed in the 3rd position last season,
That is inseparable from the behavior of those who always make movements contrary to what Bundesliga fans expect. We are waiting for a move from Borussia Dortmund that can improve their performance to break the dominance that has been held by Bayern Munich for a very long time.
I personally have always been disappointed with the movement of Dortmund from year to year.
In the last season because of Erling Haaland's injuries he has lost game appearance, and surely I know we can not blame it because that is an injury, but can we blame it aswell the whole team? I guess we can all assume they surely need to put more effort into making a new way if Haaland is not on the team, but I think they have a possibility to win against Bayern Munich when they still have Erling Halland, and right now their expected new Halland Sebastien Haller is not with them because of tumor cancer,
