However, Dortmund still need to play their last games in serious manner to secure the ticket for the Champions League next season and also to maintain their determination and rhythm of the game. They need to take those games as preparation to play against Real Madrid in Champions League Final. They have chance to make history by being the first team to beat Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League final.
The Bundesliga need to be proud because it has produced two teams that are in the major finals of two top European competitions which are;
the Champions League and
the Europa competition.
If Leverkusen can win the Europa, and Dortmund win the champions league, then it is a German year. Leverkusen however look more likely to be a better representative of Germany than Dortmund due to how well they always a way to win or not to loose.
For the Europa League, I think they will get it, but for the Champions League I think they will fail. The reason is that the opponent they will face is Real Madrid. We know that Real Madrid is a team with superior status if we compare it with Borussia Dortmund. They have to work harder to beat Real Madrid and that is not an easy thing.
In the European League they have representatives, namely Leverkusen. Their representatives in the Europa League are a team that is unbeaten to date and the opponents they will face are also no better than them. I don't mean to underestimate Atalanta, but if we compare their performance this season, we will know who is better between the two teams that will meet. But apart from all that, this is a success for the Bundesliga because they can compete very well in European competitions. Even if Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid then there will be a German derby in the Champions League this season.
