Dortmund's players believe they can win the club's seventh title |
In the past decade the Bundesliga has been eclipsed by Bayern Munich. In the past fifteen seasons Bayern Munich have won nine titles, and in the past ten seasons they have won six, maintaining a prolific 3:5 title to season ratio. While before German football was dominated by the Bavarian giants, this season the Bundesliga dances to a different tune, Borussia Dortmund's tune.
Borussia Dortmund have been truly suffocating the competition in Germany's top tier of football. Dortmund are in first place, with a staggering 12 point lead between them and second-placed Hannover 96. Jurgen Klopp revolutionized a team which previously could only arrive in sixth place, into a team which currently fears nothing.
This past weekend, Borussia Dortmund had a big test. Klopp's team had to travel away from home to face Bayer Leverkusen, and surrounding this match was a large amount of hopefuls, saying that Borussia Dortmund would buckle under the pressure under the spotlight.

All three goals were wonderful. Borussia Dortmund were an organic mechanism, working together in picking apart a shaky and imperfect defence. Mario Gotze tortured Leverkusen in his scintillating performance, and was ultimately substituted because Klopp feared that a Leverkusen player would try and harm the young genius.
Before the season started, this dominance was unimaginable. Borussia Dortmund are on the track to winning their seventh Bundesliga title, and they're doing it in style. Can Bayern Munich make a 16 point comeback? Share your comments below!
