On Saturday, in the XXXI round of the German "Bundesliga" championship, Borussia Dortmund footballers were just a hair away from their second consecutive league title.
Jurgen Klopp's charismatic team won 2-1 away against the third-placed Schalke, increasing their lead over second-placed Bayern Munich to eight points.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich failed to break through Mainz's defense in front of their own fans, with the match ending in a 0-0 draw.
With three rounds left until the end of the championship, Borussia Dortmund only need to win two points to bring the Bundesliga champions title to Dortmund for the second consecutive year.
