This year, the Bundesliga club was as close to the German championship as it had been in eleven years when it last won the title. The fact that the championship trophy didn’t materialize last Saturday was due to BVB’s own 2-2 draw in the home game against 1. FSV Mainz 05. A huge shock that still has a deep impact on the protagonists.
On Monday evening, national player Marius Wolf spoke up on social media and gave an insight into his inner life: “Honestly, I’m still completely empty,” wrote the right-back on Twitter and made no secret of his huge disappointment.
“It’s eating away at me that all that and especially this brutal second half of the season wasn’t crowned,” said the 28-year-old since Saturday, who played 25 Bundesliga games for BVB last season.

In the 2023 calendar year, BVB had scored a total of nine points more in the Bundesliga than FC Bayern – namely 46 to 37. Nevertheless, it was ultimately not enough for the Westphalians to win their first championship since 2012.
“The pain will definitely lessen at some point. What remains are the moments and people with whom you experience it. Your incredible, world’s best and unique fans will always be a motivation to give everything you have for this club,” added Wolf add his statement.
The native of Coburg wants to take on “a new chance” with BVB soon, “to fulfill all the unfulfilled dreams.
