Can't believe Dortmund messed that up. They may not get a better chance to win the title for some time.

Borussia Dortmund, who know a win will see them lift the Bundesliga, are trailing 2-0 home to Mainz with 45 minutes left to play.

Bayern Munich are currently leading FC Koln and if things stay the way they are, Munich will be crowned champions again.

Unbelievable that Dortmund couldn't get the job done after it looked like Bayern had gifted them the title last week.

This is the same Mainz that got beaten 4-1 at home by (the now relegated) Stuttgart. Absolutely pathetic from Dortmund.

Beyond the choking title race, there were loads of interesting stories in the Bundesliga.

Union Berlin making CL is incredible, basically the same as Brentford making CL so shows the achievement although personally wanted Freiburg to get it as that would've been another great achievement by Christian Streich. Still, the Europa League again shows how well-run Freiburg generally are.

And Bundesliga has become a very unforgiving league for any big club that is shambolically run. Schalke and Stuttgart have effectively become yo-yo clubs which would've been incredible to think 20 years ago when both were top 6 regulars and Hertha Berlin has been chaotic the last few years. If Hamburg doesn't choke yet again and actually get promoted they'll probably struggle to not be bottom 3 next season.

I do think there is plenty of good still in Bundesliga with how certain teams innovate and give chances to young players and coaches but it is suffering from the stigma of Bayern winning the league even on autopilot.
