Teams like Union Berlin, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, Bayern Leverkusen, Leipzig, and others improved in the league past season, and it showed in their performances. However, towards the end of last season, several of them were unable to maintain the pressure and failed to make it into the top four, whereas Dortmund, after a poor start last season, managed to finish second in the league.
I understand that those clubs are performing admirably, but consistency is the key here, and that is the only reason I will place Dortmund ahead of them; otherwise, they are performing admirably and have a strong team.
I think Dortmund remains one of those teams that failed last season just like the other teams you mentioned only the difference is that Dortmund failed to reach the top of the table in their last game when the Bundesliga title looked one step closer but that opportunity left the fans disappointed. when Dortmund was not able to appear perfect in the match at that time so I called it failed to get the bundesliga title and could only regret being runner up.
one hand Dortmund itself in terms of consistency I think it was very good last season and was able to improve its performance from mid season to the end of the season but in the last match it was very disappointing with unsatisfactory results while we were a little tired of seeing Bayern Munich dominate the bundesliga and wanted an atmosphere Only when Dortmund can break record to win the Bundesliga title.
