Who's this Knauff guy?

Not seen his name at all in the matchday squad most of the season yet started v Man. City and now looks like he's scored the winner today.

19 year old winger from their own academy - usually playing for their reserve team and German U19 national team, but obviously in the last weeks he become a part of the first squad as replacement for the injured Sancho. No one expects him to become a world beater, but there is potential for becoming a good first league player.

Now that Hütter announced his departure, Frankfurt could crumble. Will be interesting to see if Dortmund can get top 4.

Frankfurt is back on track with their win against Augsburg. The race to the CL increasingly looks like a duel of Silva and Haaland (both also fighting for second-best scorer after Lewandowski)

Everything's still possible I think. Both Dortmund and Wolfsburg have tricky games today, but I'm half expecting the race to be between those two after tonight. Given they still have to play each other on the weekend!

Game at the weekend is key. If Dortmund don't win, they're pretty fecked.

Dortmund are now favourites to finish top 4. Will likely be them and Wolfsburg.

Today's results are huge for them, but favourites? I don't know about that, they play Leipzig next while Frankfurt play Mainz, and Wolfsburg against Union. It's hard to predict but that could well set them back again

Although for a long time it didn't look that way, it has been a very successful season for Dortmund.
Cup winners, they reached the CL quarters and put in a decent display against City and also a spot in next year's CL is secured.

Yup turned out to be a good season in the end. Wonder what happens to their lame duck, surely gets picked up by someone else on the BL managerial merry go round?

We will see...

It is obviously planned that Terzic stays as an assistant coach, he just a few days ago signed a new contract for this, so he seems to be happy staying at Dortmund.

But this more or less makes Rose a lame duck when he starts there next season - he has a title winning coach who apparently loves the club as his assistant, and as soon as Dortmund's performances are not great, the club will be massively under pressure to sack him and make Terzic the new permanent head coach.
