Borussia Dortmund suffered a bitter defeat in the DFB Cup after losing 4-2 at Bayern in the top game in the Bundesliga. In Leipzig, BVB is toothless, the press sees “the ugly side” of the top team.
“foosball”: BVB remained harmless until injury time, but then had the chance to equalize – and only shortly afterwards conceded the decisive goal.
“Picture”: Dortmund fights out! […] Dear BVB, that was really bad! Dortmund lost the cup quarter-finals 2-0 at defending champions Leipzig and caught a pitch-black day. After the bitter league defeat against Bayern last weekend (2:4), BVB conceded the next knockout!
WAZ”: The Dortmund professionals were not only recognized by their yellow jerseys on Wednesday evening around 10:15 p.m. Their posture was similar during this brief break in play when Dani Olmo left the pitch of the former Leipzig Central Stadium to the applause of the 47,069 spectators. The BVB players had their hands on their hips, their eyes looked helpless. Believe in the turning point? none.
“ran”: Dortmund showed their ugly side in Leipzig. From the side that comes less often than before, but still too often, and at the wrong time. Now that it’s the most important time of the year, the moody diva bitches at the completely wrong time, slowly but surely setting an entire season on fire.
“Ruhr News”: BVB left by all good spirits. Can coach Edin Terzić crisis?
“Mirror”: Two bankruptcies in five days: Dortmund showed even less resistance in Leipzig than in Munich, only goalkeeper Kobel shone. BVB captain Reus found clear words, RB coach Rose was unstoppable after beating the former club.
“Leipziger Volkszeitung”: Inspired Red Bulls let an unbelievably good first half be followed by a stable second, win 2-0 (1-0) against Dortmund and can continue to dream of Berlin and defending the title. […] Deserves high three.
