Borussia Dortmund had it set up on a plate, but still failed to end Bayern Munich’s stranglehold on the Bundesliga. Will this grip ever be broken?The Signal Iduna Park fell silent at the final whistle. Of course it did. What was there to actually say? An afternoon that started with a hint of celebration in the air, a level of joy which bordered on hubristic even though it surely couldn’t be avoided given the circumstances,.
And they froze. The signs were there early on, the misplaced passes and bad decisions hinting at a group of players who did not want the responsibility of being in possession of the ball – who did not want it to be their fault. The irony of that happening on an individual basis is that what ended up transpiring was ultimately their collective fault. You can’t blame refereeing conspiracies when you’re given a penalty which you then toe harmlessly back to the opposition goalkeeper.
But they’d left it too late. At the full-time whistle the players sunk to their knees, most in tears. The crowd didn’t leave. The shock of it all appeared to freeze the whole scene almost still for a few minutes. The chance to end Bayern Munich’s absolute stranglehold on the Bundesliga, an opportunity served up to them on a golden platter, hadn’t so much been thrown away as desecrated, set on fire and cast out to sea on a longboat.
Bayern Munich failed to replace Robert Lewandowski last summer and have been a bit of a mess all season, comfortably knocked out of the Champions League after a tie which reminded everybody of where the true power on the pitch is in 2023 and Bayern of just how much work they have to do to have any chance of closing that gap. They will strengthen in the summer.
