BUNDESLIGA IS OVER, BUT DORTMUND GET A GREAT MORALE WIN WITH A 3-0 BEAT-UP OF BAYERN






Bayern are officially champions, so not sure how much can be taken from this game. It was more on Dortmund to WIN to keep themselves second, than Bayern having to do anything. I wish there was more at stake, but there we go. However, with a possible German Cup Final, Dortmund can take heart from beating their rivals IN THEIR home, and finally, Mkhitarayan finally DELIVERED.




Bayern can pretty much take their foot off the gas in the league, and from what I saw, they were strolling whilst Dortmund went out to go a them and beat them.

Again, NOT MUCH CAN TAKEN FROM THIS. If the league was close with Dortmund a few points behind, the scoreline would NOT be the same. But if you think back to the earlier game in Dortmund, it was similar. Dortmund had a lot of very good chances with Bayern struggling to keep up, but the difference today was Dortmund putting those chances away. And a loss is a loss. This is a morale booster for Dortmund who seem to have found their mojo with that performances against Madrid and this victory. Who really wants to lose to their rivals under ANY condition this badly at your cribb?

Pep has got to really work out how to defend against teams like Arsenal and Dortmund, who move the ball quickly and have that energy in attack. Madrid will be watching and studying this match, and will be hoping Bale and Cristiano can do what Mkhitaryan and Reus did today, along with Aubameyang.

The WORST thing for Bayern is to keep losing, and not really caring because it's tough to get back that winning mentality. The Augsburg loss DID affect them as they looked lethargic and slow against United in the first half. Again here, Dortmund defended them far too easily and were able to open their defense up with ease.

YOU. MUST. NEVER. LOSE. THAT. WINNING. MENTALITY.

Bayern can boast to their rivals that they have won the league...but I don't want my team losing to my rivals THREE GOALS TO NOTHING IN MY OWN STADIUM, IN FRONT OF MY OWN FANS. Nuh-uh....
