The missed championship title from Borussia Dortmund from the 2022/23 season is still employed by Hans-Joachim Watzke.
“The missed championship 2023 is a trauma that has an effect on the present,” said the BVB managing director in an interview with 11 friends.
“If we had become champions, we would have broken the Phalanx of Bayern and after the Klopp era there would be a whole new story that we could tell,” added the 66-year-old.
On the last match day, BVB had given up the championship that had already been safely believed to be safe through a 2-2 against FSV Mainz 05. At the same time, FC Bayern won 2-1 at 1.FC Köln and celebrated the eleventh championship in a row due to the significantly better goal difference compared to BVB.
In the two follow -ups, BVB had nothing to report in the championship race. The last league for Dortmund was cheered under coach Jürgen Klopp on Borsigplatz in 2012.
