Dortmund lost their palyer Jude Bellingham just a few weeks ago and we can't expect to see good results from them after selling an effective palyer like him. I think Dortouynd will get better over time when they know how to cover the empty place of Bellingham in this team. Dortmund was always the team racing this Byaern Munich for the Bundesliga title.
It would be very funny if this only relies on Jude alone because even though Jude is one of the good players there, the poor performance of Dortmund is not only limited to losing Jude because of the fact that they always sell their stars and last season they also lost Haaland but his performance was very good and could even compete until the end of the season.
Losing Jude is indeed disturbing but on the other hand there is something more disturbing where they always seem to lose momentum in matches at the beginning of this season which makes them always not separated from the series.
But on the other hand, looking at last season's performance, Dortmund is actually the same and indeed their development is gradual until they become a strong candidate for the championship last season, hopefully this season will be the same.
