Bayern's got a thousand lives, eh?
I was really rooting for Dortmund and I still feel that they deserved the title. The table does not lie though - and this example shows why we all love football.
Dortmund had 14 wins in 16 home games before this week, Mainz had 4 losses in a row with 3-13 goal difference.
Doesn't mean much though when everything in a game goes the other way.
Funnily enough - Mainz gave Dortmund the chance for the title when they won 3-1 against Bayern a month ago. A great way to finish the championship for the neutrals, but hell for the team waiting for the title since Klopp.

I think that it was the biggest surprise of the week that game,the pressure was huge for Dortmund players and this was best demonstrated when Haller lost the penalty which for me would have changed the course of the game 100% sure.A lot of my colleagues are joking around that Bayern management must have promised all Mainz players a brand new Ferrari as they cannot otherwise explain that performance of Mainz in this game
.As I said it was a horrendous day for Dortmund and their fans which were prepared for a party but it ended up in a complete different way.
