I believe that this has been a setback for Dortmund over the past few seasons. They are generally prone to selling their most talented players every other season to either Bayern Munich or the English Premier League, which is a very unfortunate situation for them.

There is no doubt that Dortmund would have been an unstoppable force in European football if they had players like Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland on their team. However, I think that is why they are able to generate such a large amount of revenue, because they are able to scout out the finest young players and sell them for a decent price.

quickly searching on google I saw that dortmund made a profit of 37.8 million in Q1 2022/23 alone, I don't know how far this site is:

but if really dortmond are making big profits each season then they won't try too hard to win the bundesliga though not my opinion if they manage to hire a good manager and keep their good players i'm convinced they could manage to win the bundesliga and with that would see a very competitive bundesliga in which it would be very difficult to guess who would win the bundesliga in each season, the way things are currently each season, you don't even have to try to guess who will be champion because everyone knows that it will be bayern

the other teams just keep playing to qualify for European competitions and thereby expose their players so that they have a very high price on the market. became a very lucrative business for the Bundesliga teams that don't even care about becoming champions anymore

occupying the 6th position, dortmund will play their first game against Augsburg, which in my opinion even though dortmund coming into this game with a sequence of two defeats they will be able to come out with victory in this game against augsburg, which to a certain extent would raise dortmund is in need of victories to stay in a good position in the table, if they lose it will be a big disaster, there will be 3 consecutive defeats

Bundesliga is so competitive this season. Union Berlin and Freiburg are the most surprising team so far. One wouldn't think they will go that far in the Bundesliga. It has always been Bayern, Dortmund, and Leipzig. The most shocking of all is Dortmund who seems to have flipped out from the top 4 zones. BVB needs to do something in other to change this current situation. It wouldn't be nice to see them miss out on the champion league race next season.

It looks like this season will provide new surprises for several clubs who are in their best form. There is no doubt that this season or next season clubs like Union Berlin and Sc Freiburg will continue to dominate the bundesliga. The UCL zone seems to have started to change and this now belongs to another club, we know Dortmund really dominated with Bayern Munich like the previous season, but it seems that Dortmund will have a little trouble this season to reaching the top 4 of the standings.

Yeah, the league settings have changed. underrated clubs like Freiburg and union Berlin who have not appeared in the Bundesliga top 5 positions, or Europe competition for years, are now a big problem for the likes of Leverkusen, Monchengladbach, and Borussia Dortmund. I'm happy for Bayern Munich and Rb Leipzig, they have proven themselves even as big names like Dortmund, Leverkusen, and Monchengladbach, seem to have faded away in strength. Indeed, Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the Giants of the German Bundesliga.

it's really sad to see this scenario but there are still many games left to finish the league and as I've seen many cases in which certain old teams fall from position in the beginning and middle of the league but at the end of the league they return to occupy their old positions I think that no final of the league and we will see who will really finish in a good position, of course the number 1 position is guaranteed by bayern, there is no doubt about that
