Borussia Dortmund has to use more effort than planned to get three points in Gladbach. The scene of the game sees double goalscorer Sabitzer converting a penalty that shouldn’t have existed at all.
Borussia Dortmund’s motto for the rest of the season had already been announced by coach Edin Terzic before the final whistle: “We only play the Champions League. Either in or around the Champions League.” Despite this realization that everything is connected to everything else at BVB at the moment: in the hard-fought 2-1 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund left more strength than necessary – and than Terzic had probably planned.
