The Dortmund asks licence to play in Second Division

To any fan of the European football could seem him incredible, but there are possibilities that the Borussia Dortmund go down to second this season. The current runner-up of the Bundesliga, and runner-up of the League of Champions does less than two years, finds in a critical situation in the national championship: it is the penultimate classified.

In front of this danger, the club has been previsor and already has requested the licence to be able to contest the second German category, the Bundesliga 2. It treats of a simple formality, but in the country Teutonic is indispensable to do it if it wants to contest this tournament, so much if it accesses by the road of the descent as if it is for promotion. The Borussia Dortmund never had had the need to fulfil it, and therefore it has to do it now.

Of course, the team of Jürgen Klopp still has a lot of possibilities to save : it remains him all a turn to redo and, besides, the low places of the table go so adjusted that only three points separate him of the twelfth position. What himself will have to do is to improve the poor balance of four parties won, ten empatados and three stray.

What is more inexplicable of the Borussia Dortmund this season is that it go so bad in the Bundelisga and that, instead, have done a so brilliant paper as always in the Champions. It remained first of the Group D, by in front of the Arsenal, and will confront to the Juventus in the eighth of final. Reasons for the hope remain, but the fact that a possible champion of Europe finish descending does not have precedent.
