It’s not over, until it’s over.
It’s the 60th minute of the night. After a whole hour of working hard and dominating play Borussia Dortmund find themselves on mere a 1-0 lead, having even missed a penalty. Then; 1-1. An hour of tireless running, all made in vain by a poorly defended volley. Tired and down on their luck, how does the team respond to this.
Perfectly. They bounce back in a phenomenal manner and keep giving it 200%, finding their new lead after 13 more minutes of great play. Only 16 more minutes till the end of regular play.
Only 10 minutes, still 2-1.... Only 5, still 2-1... 0 minutes, the end of regular play. Just make have to make it through extra time now and.... 2-2 at 90+1
One and a half hours of pure tireless running to dominate the match, once again made in vain. Is there any bouncing back from that? Yes. Yes there is. A chaotic sequence results in BVB’s 3rd time leading on the night. 3-2, at 90+5. End off play.
Through the appointment of Niko Kovac, a new fire seems to have been lit inside of this club. A fire that has players running twice as much as before, has them not even thinking about letting their heads down and has them fight until they physically can't.
Going into the last 3 games off the season with the best form since the departure of Edin Terzic, Top 4 is still more than possible. Only 3 points, is now what separates Borussia Dortmund from Champions League football for the upcoming season.
Will they make it? We don’t know. All we do know now is that for this team, it isn’t over until it’s over.
