The failure of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals made Dortmund completely shift his focus to the second leg of the semi-finals. As for the weekend's league, almost all those sent by Klopp were reserve players.

So it was not surprising that the team drew 2-2 at home with Reus's Mönchengladbach. Now, including Dortmund players, fans and media, everyone's minds are no longer in the league. Anyway, they are already the league champions.

The next final battle with Chelsea is the most important thing.

Before the game, Dortmund fans claimed that they wanted to make West**** Stadium a terrifying home court.

During the game, they did do it. The South Stand was like a burning wall. Dortmund fans also specially created giant TIFOs to create home momentum.

In the second round, Hummels and Klopp both released the ban and returned, and the players tried their best.

But Chelsea is more tenacious than they thought, with two goals leading, Chelsea fought a defensive counterattack away, and this is actually the style they are best at.

Facing Chelsea, which had contracted its defense, Dortmund bombed them around the half. In the 40th minute, Zhou Yi suddenly shot from outside the penalty area and opened Chelsea's goal.

When scoring the goal, huge cheers rang out from the stands, but Zhou Yi did not celebrate the goal, but instead called Lewandowski, who was in the front, to pick up the football and kick off the ball quickly.

It took 40 minutes to score, it's already a little late...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. While Dortmund launched an attack regardless of everything, their backyard caught fire.

Chelsea used a quick counterattack, and Torres went to the meeting alone, shook the ball away from the penalty area line, and then scored the football into the goal.

This ball made West**** Stadium silent.

The gap in the total score was pulled to two more goals, and the key is that Chelsea has an away goal. Even if Dortmund beats Chelsea 3-1 at home and ties the total score to a draw, he will still be eliminated by the disadvantage of a away goal. So if they want to eliminate Chelsea and enter the finals, they have to defeat Chelsea 4-1 at home so that they can advance to the finals with the advantage of the total score.

But after Chelsea scored, the time left for Dortmund was only half an hour. Three more goals were scored in thirty minutes, and at the same time, ensuring that Chelsea won't score again... This is not impossible, but the chance is indeed very, very small.

This is also the reason for the silence in the stands.

Marcel Leif sighed and said, "Although he is unwilling to admit it, Dortmund has almost been eliminated... Of course, he can still reach this level with the wounded camp. Dortmund's performance is already very good. He returned to the Champions League main match seven years later and reached the quarterfinals, and this season he went further and reached the semi-finals. They have done well enough..."

After the game started again, Dortmund's players did not give up and continued to seek opportunities to score goals, hoping to complete this impossible task.

But as time goes by, this hope becomes increasingly slim.

After scoring the goal, Chelsea set up a bus in front of his goal. Even if Zhou Yi and his teammates tried their best, it would be difficult to find the loopholes in Chelsea's defense.

In fact, Zhou Yi has already experienced this in advance in the virtual game. With Chelsea focusing on defending, it is really difficult for Dortmund to score a goal.

After all, it is a team led by Mourinho, and defense is integrated into the blood and genes.

Facing Chelsea's iron wall, Dortmund scored another goal until the 88th minute.

Zhou Yi suddenly pulled to the side to make a cross. Chelsea's defense was a little relaxed. His cross accurately found Lewandowski. Lewandowski, who was receiving the goal in front of the goal, pushed the ball into the goal guarded by Cech.

The total score is only one goal short, but there is not much time left for Dortmund.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Chelsea 2:1 at home, but was eliminated with a total score of 2:3.

They were not able to make it to the finals.

After the game, the Dortmund players were extremely frustrated, and some of them shed tears on the spot.

Their momentum in the league and Champions League this season was excellent. In the end, they won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, but were eliminated from the Champions League.

After the game, Zhou Yi accepted an interview with reporters in the mixed zone.

Regarding being eliminated, Zhou Yi gave his answer.

"We are so lucky..." He shook his head, his voice was low and his emotions were not high. Although this result may not be surprising to him - because he simulated many times in virtual games, and almost all Dortmund was eliminated, he still felt a huge sense of loss when this moment came in the real world.

Then he was unwilling to say more, so he said goodbye to the reporters and walked towards the locker room.

A Chinese reporter looked at his back as he bowed his head and walked towards the locker room, suddenly wanted to comfort him, so he shouted at him loudly: "Actually, you are already very good! Every season has made progress!"

Zhou Yi didn't look back, but just waved his hand. He didn't know whether he was thanking the reporter for his comfort, or whether he felt that this comfort was useless... In short, he just walked back to the locker room.

A group of reporters left behind to sigh for this.

Last season, after being eliminated in the quarterfinals, reporters thought that Zhou Yi was looking for some objective excuses to defend the team's failure, but Zhou Yi just said that he was eliminated because their strength was not strong enough.

At that time, Dortmund was indeed not strong enough and was beaten by Real Madrid without any power to fight back.

This season, facing Barcelona, ​​which is as powerful as Real Madrid, Dortmund eliminated his opponent, which should mean that their strength has become stronger, but they were still eliminated.

Really bad luck.

If Hummels and Klopp were not suspended, and if Sven Bend was not injured, many Tmund could have really entered the final at Allianz Stadium.

Because on the other side, Bayern Munich has eliminated Real Madrid and entered the finals. So some people think that if Dortmund can reach the finals, they can defeat Bayern Munich, perhaps because of their psychological advantage, they can defeat Bayern Munich and win the championship.

But now, all this can only be stopped at the possibility of imagination.

Bad luck...

What kind of mood should Zhou Yi feel when he said this?

Seeing his back as he just waved his hand and didn't stop, he could guess it.

I feel so sad.

Zhou Yi also tried his best in this game, scoring one goal and assisting the team to defeat Chelsea at home, but he lost too badly in the first round, and even he was unable to make a comeback.

Faced with such a defeat, no one would blame Zhou Yi. His performance is already good enough... In fact, with his performance in the Champions League in the past two seasons, it can be considered that Zhou Yi is no less than those midfielders masters. Dortmund's loss of this goal may still have many problems to be solved, and many shortcomings to be made up, but Zhou Yi is definitely not their problem or shortcomings.

After the game, various media commented on Dortmund's elimination this time, and they all used the reason for "bad luck". However, different people have different interpretations of this "bad luck". Some people think that the suspension and injury of the main players are manifestations of bad luck, while others think that being drawn with Barcelona is considered bad luck.

But no matter how you interpret it, it cannot change the reality that Dortmund has been eliminated.

Dortmund media believe that the most important thing is no longer to analyze why Dortmund was eliminated, but to face the next game.

Although the league has won the championship ahead of schedule, Dortmund still has one German Cup final to play.

When the team retrained after the game, Klopp also mentioned this. It was regrettable to be eliminated from the Champions League, but the whole team did not need to pay attention to this all the time. What's more important is the next game.

As long as Dortmund can defeat Bayern Munich in the German Cup final, they will become the double champion of this season. In this way, this season will still be a great and brilliant season for Dortmund and will not lose its appearance because of being eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals.

The next two league games are meaningless for Dortmund. Klopp considers that the players' physical fitness has reached their limit during this period, but there is a German Cup final next, so he lets all the main players who have fought for a season rest, giving substitutes more playing time.

The substitute player did not reduce Dortmund's combat effectiveness. Although he was eliminated in the Champions League, Dortmund's dominance in the Bundesliga was still very strong. In the 33rd round of the league, Dortmund challenged Kaiserslautern away. Dortmund, who was not the main player, defeated Kaiserslautern 3:1 away.

In the 34th round of the league, which was the last round of the game, Klopp continued the starting lineup of the previous game. The only difference was the adjustment on the bench, and more main players returned to the bench, such as Zhou Yi.

This is obviously preparing for the next German Cup final, and letting them on the bench to change them to the final stage of this game to find the feeling of playing.

Zhou Yi was replaced with fifteen minutes left in the game. Then he assisted Lewandowski, who also came on as a substitute in the last minute of the game, and helped the team defeat Freiburg 4-0 at home, bringing a perfect end to the league this season.

After this game, Dortmund's entire team entered the German Cup final preparations, and they will face Bayern Munich at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin a week later on May 13.

As their opponent, Bayern Munich is a little absent-minded.

Because Bayern Munich entered the Champions League final, which is important, the German Cup final or the Champions League final?

Is this a matter of saying?

Now Bayern Munich Club is full of minds to defeat Chelsea, who is not strong at home, and win the Champions League championship.

Is there anything more fun to win the cup at home?
