Borussia Dortmund embrace the Bundesliga title

BVB is now favorite for win the Bundesliga title with one matchday to go

Borussia Dortmund is now Bundesliga leader after to Augsburg win

Edin Terzic's Borussia Dortmund, with work, calmness, prudence, but of course luck, now holds the title case in the Bundesliga in its hands.

Borussia Dortmund took advantage of Bayern's "stumbling" in Munich (lost 3-1 to Leipzig) and now that they have overcome the away obstacle of Augsburg (won 0-3) they are projected as the first favorites to win the championship. "The Westphalians" climbed to first place in the standings with 70 points and with a victory in the last match against the not particularly strong Mainz they will win the championship.

The main protagonist of the winners was the forward Sébastien Haller, who scored the first two goals of his team in the 59' and 84', while the final score was made in the added time by the international Julian. The home team played with 10 players from the 38th minute as Uduokai was sent off with a straight red card.

Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic said the return of striker Sebastien Haller from cancer was the season's "biggest miracle" as his side moved to the brink of the Bundesliga title. Since Haller's return, Dortmund have lost just one of 18 league matches.

"That he's back with us is a pure miracle" Terzic said after the game, praising the forward's "important" presence "in the dressing room".

The manager said the 28-year-old Haller scores "important goals" but "also lets the others next to him shine".

Terzic, said he hoped Haller would replicate his success next week "then he'll be the hero of the season. But we're already very happy with him anyway."

Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who made the decision to bring Haller to the club from Dutch side Ajax, praised "Sebastien's special story. He deserves extra credit."

Mikel Arteta thinks back to 1985 and tries to shield Arsenal as much as possible

Por Manos Staramopoulos • 16 de abril de 2025

Arsenal failed to maintain the euphoric atmosphere that existed after the imposing 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Their tank was almost... empty, stuck at 1-1 against Brentford, and now Mikel Arteta's team seems to be raising the white flag in the championship battle!. Now Arsenal is turning its attention exclusively to the Champions League, where after the 3-0 win, it seems to have a big lead to qualify for the semi-finals of the top club competition in Europe, if not the world.
