The Bundesliga is headed for a grand finale. Who will be champion – Borussia Dortmund or FC Bayern Munich?

On Saturday (May 27th, 2023) around 5.30 p.m. the question will be answered as to whether there is another German champion than FC Bayern: Borussia Dortmund has a two-point lead over Munich before the last matchday and plays at home against FSV Mainz 05 The Bavarians play at 1. FC Köln and have to hope for support. Everything about the topic in the live blog.

Monday, May 22nd

The original of the championship trophy is going to the Borussia Dortmund stadium for the last day of the Bundesliga match. As the German Football League confirmed on Monday, only a copy of the trophy will be available for FC Bayern Munich’s game against 1. FC Köln. As before, the ranking is based on the table: Before the match against FSV Mainz 05, BVB is two points ahead of Bayern Munich.

The DFL wants to announce who will hand over the bowl to the new champions on Saturday in the course of the week. This was done last year by the then DFL boss Donata Hopfen, from whom the umbrella organization has since separated. On an interim basis, the DFL currently has two managing directors in Axel Hellmann (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Oliver Leki (SC Freiburg).

The prospect of the championship title has helped the share price of Borussia Dortmund to jump enormously. The paper of the only German listed Bundesliga club climbed on Monday in the first hour of electronic trading by around 15 percent to 5.15 euros. The last time the stock was this high was around 20 months ago.

Nico Schlotterbeck is convinced that the championship title goes to Borussia Dortmund. “We will. We will, men!” yelled the central defender through the dressing room aisle after BVB won 3-0 at FC Augsburg and thus moved to the top of the table.

Sports director Sebastian Kehl was also loud: “One more damn victory, one more shitty victory.”
