Whether coach Terzic or club boss Watzke: Many people at BVB thought the team was stronger than it actually is. At 0:4, a few moves from Bayern coach Tuchel are enough to expose Borussia’s weaknesses as if under a magnifying glass.
The frustration is always greatest when you least expect it. Zero-to-four. That sounds like doom, like a slap, like an abrasion, or as Bayern player Leon Goretzka put it briskly and freshly: “We flattened the opponent.” Goretzka comes from Bochum, he grew up twenty kilometers from the site of Bayern’s latest triumph. In the Ruhr area, people just say what’s going on.
