On the other hand, The Eagles had a pretty easy run during their journey of the league cup competition. The only tough team that they faced in the DFP Pokal cup was Borussia Monchengladbach in the semi-finals where Die Adler defeated them in the semi-finals and reached into the final of the competition.
Borussia Dortmund have had a very average campaign this season totally opposite to their standards. They finished their campaign on the 3rd place on the points table and 18 points behind their league leaders and arch rivals Bayern Munich, whom Die Schwarzgelben are expected to challenge for the league title. Thomas Tuchel’s men who have a rather disappointing season till now can take something out of this season by winning the DFB Pokal in the German Capital Berlin.
