Dortmund is doing their best. Especially coming from their poor ranking at the beginning of the season to this position is a great achievement. I already thought their squad was good at the beginning of the season,
Dortmund are currently struggling to qualify for the UCL zone. They are in 5th place and they only qualify for the Europa League group stage. The remaining one match Dortmund still has a chance to qualify for UCL. The point difference between the 2 clubs above is quite thin. Luckily they will compete in the last league match. Funny enough if the Eintracht Frankfrut vs Freiburg match ends in a draw, I think Eintracht Frankfrut will get 3 points.
The arrival of Niko Kovac seems to have made little improvement for Dortmund. I think the rest of the players from Nuri Sahin did not make Niko Kovac comfortable. I think Niko Kovac should take advantage of the transfer market to improve performance for next season.
