Watch: Borussia Dortmund: Hard to Beat

Somewhat patchy form notwithstanding, Borussia Dortmund remain within touching distance of the table-top and also, as has become characteristic for them, extremely difficult to beat. Just one Bundesliga defeat in all of 2023 is a division-best by far – Bayern, by contrast, have lost four times over the same period. Since being bested by the record champs in Munich at the start of April, Edin Terzic’s team have put together a 13-game cross-season unbeaten run. The kind of resilience that is a prerequisite to winning titles, as well.
