Time to concentrate on the league

Getting knocked out of the Champions League might be a blessing in disguise for Lucien Favre’s men as now they can fully focus on going for the Bundesliga title, one that has eluded them since 2012 with Bayern Munich dominating.

With Bayern and Leipzig both still in the competition, this may give BVB the upper hand with having less fixtures and less chance of picking up any injuries to important players. Unless of course the league is suspended due to coronavirus fears.

The league title has to be the goal for Favre and his players this season now and it may well and truly be classed as a disappointing season if they were to miss out on silverware altogether.
