Borussia Dortmund suffered a 4-0 loss to Hoffenheim to end the 2019-20 Bundesliga campaign, ending the season on a very low note. 

Borussia Dortmund were thrashed 4-0 on Saturday by Hoffenheim to end the Bundesliga season. Although it was a meaningless game from a points perspective it was definitely a momentum killer to finish a very solid season for the Black and Yellows. Lucien Favre came under a lot of criticism this season for not putting up a harder fight for the title in the second half of the season, but the reality is Bayern were just on a completely different level. Dortmund had an exceptional second half of the season until the 1-0 to Bayern which essentially ended the title run.

Dortmund just simply weren’t in this one from the get go as Hoffenheim took it to them for the full 90 minutes. Here we will look at the key talking points in the aftermath of Saturday’s game.
