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.
Indeed Bayern Munich luckily secured the title. Bayern Munich were nowhere near the kind of performances they had in Dortmund in the last few games. I really feel sorry for the Dortmund team now.
Yeah of a truth, Bayern Munich winning of this season's German Bundesliga title should be attributed to luck. After they were beaten in their previous fixture before the final fixture in Saturday while Borussia Dortmund win in that same weekend to overtake them at the top of the league, I was of the opinion that Dortmund are gonna put a break to Bayern Munich's dominance in the domestic but little did I know that even before their exploding home fans, Dortmund will go on to hold Mainz on a 2:2 draw.
As much as I wanted Dortmund to win the Bundesliga this season, I will not join those who claim that Bayern won the cup with luck, luck doesn't work that way. What you just saw was a demonstration of the power of fate, not luck. Are you turning a blind eye to the number of matches that each club played to get to the final?
Not to talk of the ups and downs that could be plainly seen on both the sides of Bayern and Dortmund. The sides were switching the top post for some time during the match and as time goes on towards the end Bayern was displaced from the 1st place and Dortmund took over, and now again Dortmund lost and Bayern took over and won the cup. And you are saying this is luck? No justification for that. The season was keenly contested by the two rivals and fate crowned Bayern.
