"We cannot challenge Bayern, I think everyone can see that. Bayern are not only first in the Bundesliga, they are also right up there in the Champions League. That means this team has a class of their own, which is not to be seen in the rest of the Bundesliga at the moment. We know in the end where Bayern shop and where we shop."
"That is how it is. We all have to accept it. I said at the start of the season that we want to secure top 4 as quickly as possible, What do you make of these comments from Kovač - is he correct? Should he have said it? What message does this send to Borussia Dortmund fans? Tell us in the comments below!"
Bayern Munich occupy a dominant position in the Bundesliga and also remain highly competitive in the Champions League, creating a measurable quality gap with other German clubs. That gap reflects differences in squad class and in transfer and financial resources, which determine where clubs can recruit players. Borussia Dortmund recognizes those limitations and frames a top-four finish as a realistic season objective. Acceptance of the competitive hierarchy is presented as pragmatic strategy rather than aspiration to immediate domestic parity. The stance prompts debate among supporters about whether prioritizing stability and qualification is the correct approach.
