Borussia Dortmund emerged victorious in their first Der Klassiker since 2019, defeating Bayern Munich on Saturday evening with a 2-0 win.
This triumph has propelled Dortmund to fourth place in the Bundesliga standings and has put them in contention for a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
However, the loss has led Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel to admit that his team’s chances of surpassing Bayer Leverkusen for the title have now come to an end.
Following their defeat to Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel conceded the Bundesliga title and extended his “congratulations” to Bayer Leverkusen.
Dortmund secured a 2-0 victory over Bayern, with goals from Karim Adeyemi and Julian Ryerson, marking their first Der Klassiker win in five years. Tuchel, who will be leaving Bayern at the end of the season, will be remembered as the manager who halted Bayern’s remarkable title streak.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen, who require just three wins from their remaining seven matches, are on the verge of clinching their first-ever Bundesliga title. Dortmund, now three points ahead of RB Leipzig in fifth place, are determined to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the upcoming season.
