#4 The Selling to them
You can never build a stable mansion when the foundations keep giving way. That’s exactly what has happened with Dortmund, just when they seemed like they were creating something, Munich were there to pull the rug from underneath them.
The first was Mario Gotze, who they poached by activating a release clause in his contract. It didn’t quite go to plan for the young German at the Allianz Arena but it was the first sign that the Yellow Wall could be brought down.
Next and potentially the biggest, Robert Lewandowski joined on a free transfer after his contract ran out. Rather than get the money a year prior, Dortmund stood firm but missed out what could have been used to replenish their squad.
A final blow came just over a year ago when Mats Hummels returned to Bavaria. Too often have Dortmund’s best players made the journey to the “bigger” team in Germany.
