"I'm disappointed about the result but pleased with the effort. We need to take the progress into account. Last year, we were 25 points (behind Bayern). This year, it's 11. Bayern can buy top players for €70m or €80m. We sign players with development potential with whom we're largely satisfied. we're not doing so badly at all."
Niko Kovač, Borussia Dortmund's manager and former Bayern Munich head coach, continues to highlight the financial and operational differences between the two clubs. Following a 3-2 Bundesliga loss, Kovač acknowledged disappointment with the result while emphasizing his team's progress and effort. He noted that Dortmund has closed the gap to Bayern Munich from 25 points last season to 11 points this season. Kovač contrasted Bayern's ability to purchase elite players for €70-80 million with Dortmund's approach of signing players with development potential. Despite this week's setbacks, including Champions League elimination and a loss to Bayern, Kovač maintains that Dortmund's strategic approach represents solid progress.
