Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund – the “box office” of Europe

In Klopp’s terms, his team is the box office of Europe. The visually appealing football his side offers is one of its kind. The coupling of modern tactics and extreme adaptability of the squad has made them what they are today.

Everybody knows how Dortmund got to the position they are now, after they almost went out of business 10 years ago. For what it’s worth, they have taught the world how a club has to be run, and have reaped the rewards with consecutive league titles and a UCL runners-up medal.

The departure of Mario Goetze to rivals Bayern Munich and potential transfer of marksman Robert Lewandowski at the end of this season might feel like a thorn in Dortmund fans’ hearts. But Die Schwarzgelben (Dortmund) possess a brilliant youth setup which is capable of producing many more Goetze’s.

The revenue gained from the youngster’s sale has been well spent on 3 great signings in Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and Sokratis. For more on Dortmund and their probable tactics, follow the link.
