For Dortmund to reach the finals last season in UCL, it was a great achievement for ghem and this also shows that they are a very stong team in Bundesliga even though they find it difficult go win the league. I am not surprised at their current performance and it shows that they might do better in Bundesliga this season than last season.
The coach is a good one and he has tried to keep the club's consistency which is a good start for them this season because some clubs are having challenges this new season to be in form.
Dortmund is indeed no longer in doubt because they are a team that has often troubled Bayern Munich in recent years, even in the 2023 season they almost won but unfortunately in the last match they failed to get full points. Even though they had the advantage with a points advantage. Bayern Munich should be the one under pressure because their chances are slim. Then last season Dortmund also managed to enter the final but unfortunately they got a tough opponent, Real Madrid, which made them fail again.
Overall, a team like Dortmund is indeed good, they are even a team that can maintain their consistency, but Dortmund only has one problem if you look at the two opportunities as above, namely they are unlucky and do not have a champion mentality. This season Dortmund's journey is not easy because they are coached by a new coach, of course they need some adaptations in order to get chemistry between the coach and the players. This can be seen from Dortmund's failure to get perfect points from the two matches that have been played, indeed this is only the beginning of the season but I am not sure Dortmund will be a serious challenger for Bayern Munich and Leverkusen this season.
