Revisiting Jurgen Klopp’s all 6 previous cup final defeats

#4 Borussia Dortmund 1-3 VfL Wolfsburg (DFB Cup final, 2015)

The Wolves inflicted a third consecutive cup final loss on Dortmund

Die Schwarz Gelben were into their third consecutive German Cup final, and this one had special significance as it was Klopp’s last as the Dortmund manager.

He was supposed to bow out on a high, especially after beating holders Bayern in the semis on their own turf. But this time, an irresistibly good Wolfsburg outfit befell his rag-tag team that could only finish seventh in the league after a calamitous season.

The DFB Cup final offered an opportunity to salvage some pride and also a fitting swansong, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s early opener fell through the cracks after a 15-minute blitzkrieg that saw Wolfsburg score thrice through Luis Gustavo, Kevin De Bruyne and Bas Dost.

“I’m going to need time to get over this loss,” said an aggrieved Klopp after the match.
