Add to that the elimination against VfB Stuttgart in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup: If you look at Borussia Dortmund's record in the national competitions this season, there is little euphoria. On the other hand, BVB will be in the Champions League final against Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium in London in two and a half weeks. It's a season in which Dortmund shows two completely different faces.
