I have the feeling that Borussia Dortmund is coming back the next season, especially when I see how much they progressed at the end of it.
Besides, they are trying to consolidate their team, they added the brother of Jude Bellingham to their team, coming from Sunderland. Their winger will likely stay after Chelsea refused to pay more for him. Maybe more news will come in the next days, after the Club World Cup.

Come back? Do you mean to be in the top 2 again? Undecided

I'm not sure this team to have a big chance "come back" again if they still can't perform consistently. Even if they could show a good progress at the end of the last season, they actually didn't play consistently in the whole season. They got 11 losses and 6 draws, this is worse than the previous seasons. Well, Jobe Bellingham may be a good asset for Dortmund but he isn't in the same level of Jude Bellingham. I don't think he can change drastically the midfield line of Dortmund next season. I even a bit doubt that he can play regularly. TBH, I don't think the current squad of Dortmund is quite strong to compete with the big teams in Bundesliga. There should be some new stronger players, especially on the attacking and defense line.

Now the competition in the Bundesliga is getting faster, because other teams can start to catch up, while at the same time Borussia Dortmund is just running in place which makes them have to be shifted and even left behind.

They have not been able to fully find themselves like a few seasons ago where they were always in second place. Apart from that, I also feel that they were previously just lucky because other teams were not like now where they look more prepared. But I also do not rule out the possibility that they will be able to do better.
