Dortmund's "Borussia" coach Lucien Favre says that the team deservedly suffered a setback in Munich, as their opponents were clearly better than them.
On Saturday, a crucial match took place at the "Allianz" stadium between the "Bayern" and "Borussia" clubs. The Dortmund team, who were at the top of the table until this round, suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:5, allowing the "Bayern" team to take the lead. The Bavarians now have a points advantage.
Favre believes that the continuous focus on the title contributed to such a poor result.
"It's hard to understand such a loss, but it is deserved. Congratulations to my colleague," said the coach after the match.
"I can definitely say that it was a lesson for us. We had a chance to score first, and if we had done so, the match scenario could have been different.
"Bayern" dominated in these matches, they were faster and better. It was a lesson for us to try to recover in the second half when the score was already 0:4, it was simply impossible.
Now we need to focus on the next matches. Today we were too focused on the title. We have more matches ahead of us, and the race for the title has always been tough.
We need to focus on the next matches, not on what will happen at the end of the season," added L. Favre.
