Schalke 04, who lost Yang Muge, was forced to draw 1:1 at home by Mainz in the 20th round of the league. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Borussia Mönchengladbach drew 0-0 away at VfL Wolfsburg.

Bayern Munich also drew 1-1 away from Hamburg.

For a time, all three teams in Group 1 were drawn.

Only Dortmund is still strong, as strong as the man in the morning.

They beat Nuremberg 2-0 away.

Borussia Dortmund has 47 points, opening up the points gap with Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich has 41 points, Schalke 04 41 points, and Borussia Mönchengladbach has 40 points.

Although Zhou Yi did not have an assist in the game, he did have a goal.

He's also in strong form.

He was substituted shortly after the goal.

Jurgen Klopp didn't let him play the full game because he had one more German Cup to come.

Three days later, Borussia Dortmund challenged Kyrier 1900 away.

As the name suggests, this is a team founded in 1900 and has a long history, older than Borussia Dortmund, which was founded in 1909.

But a long history doesn't mean good results.

The current league name of this team is called Nord United, the full name of the Northern German League.

The German league is divided into seven levels, and the Bundesliga below is an amateur league, and the German North United is under the Bundesliga. In other words, Dortmund's opponent in the quarter-finals of the German Cup is an amateur team.

Despite this, Klopp did not dare to underestimate this team.

Because they were able to make it all the way to the quarter-finals of the German Cup, it shows that they have the quality. You must know that in 1900, in order to be able to appear in front of Dortmund, Kyrill eliminated stronger opponents than them along the way.

In the first round, they defeated Butbus, the second place in the Bundesliga, 3-0. In the second round, they eliminated Duisburg, who finished 14th in the Bundesliga, 2-0. In the third round, the team they eliminated was replaced by Mainz in the Bundesliga, 2:0!

In three German Cup matches, the amateur team scored seven goals without conceding a single goal.

Such a performance cannot but attract Klopp's attention.

Cup competitions have always been a hotbed of underdogs, and underestimating opponents will pay a heavy price.

So in the face of this cup opponent, Klopp did not send a second team to deal with it, although he made some rotations, but still retained most of the main team.

Zhou Yi is naturally the core that cannot be rotated.

And Zhou Yi also proved in the game that he is indeed the guarantee of Dortmund's victory.

Facing the dark horse Keriel 1900 who have counterattacked many teams all the way, Dortmund took a two-goal lead in the first half.

Zhou Yi assisted a goal, and he also scored a goal.

Dortmund scored two more goals in the second half to eliminate the dark horse with a score of 4:0.

Ended Kyrier's 1900 campaign in the German Cup.

This is the best result of Kyrier 1900 in the German Cup since the 2002-2003 season.

If it weren't for Dortmund, who overturned the boat in the gutter and ate a lot of money, maybe their dark horse miracle would have gone one step further......

In the 21st round of the league, Bayern Munich defeated Kaiserslautern 2-0 at home. Borussia Dortmund beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at home.

There is a direct meeting between the bottom two of Group 1 as Borussia Mönchengladbach hosts Schalke 04.

In the end, Reuss scored a goal and an assist to help Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Schalke 04 3-0 at home.

Despite Yang Muge's efforts in the game, there was still no way to save the team's defeat. Reuss's breakthrough on the wing is so sharp that he can't do anything about it, and as a midfielder, he can't always run to the wing and play one-on-one with Reus.

The outcome of this match changed the third and fourth places in the league.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's 43-pointers overtook Schalke 04, who had 41 points, to move into third place, while Schalke 04 dropped.

After agreeing an early transfer deal with Borussia Dortmund, Reuss was in red-hot form and helped Borussia Mönchengladbach catch up, and they are now just one point away from Bayern Munich, who are second in the league.

And you know, the next Champions League knockout stage is about to begin.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will certainly be distracted by the Champions League fixtures and may not be as focused in the domestic league.

At that point, it will be Borussia Mönchengladbach's chance.

Seeing Reuss perform so well, Borussia Mönchengladbach fans don't want Reuss to leave even more. But there is no way, the wood is done, and Royce will eventually return to the team he has supported since childhood. Borussia Mönchengladbach was just one stop in the middle of his career......

The only thing they can hope for now is that Borussia Mönchengladbach can finally defeat giants like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund under the leadership of Reus, snatch the league title from them, and say goodbye to Reuss with a remarkable season.

This is not a whimsical drive from Borussia Mönchengladbach fans, they really think it is possible.

After all, the Champions League is next.

As for the German team, the only one who can fight on two fronts and maintain its form is probably Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund won the league last season, but their Champions League run came to an end in the quarter-finals. If they had continued to move forward in the Champions League at that time, it is difficult to say whether they would have won the league title in the end.

In addition, let's take a look at Bayer Leverkusen, who also participated in the Champions League this season and reached the round of 16. They are now sixth, a full 10 points shy of Schalke 04 in the league. Leverkusen will not qualify for the Champions League next season.

The Champions League is indeed approaching.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are two Bundesliga teams set to make their debut in the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week.

So in the twenty-first round of the league, Zhou Yi didn't play the whole game, and he was replaced in the seventy-second minute.

Dortmund were leading 1-0 and it was a risky substitution. Because after Zhou Yi is off the field, Dortmund's midfield control will decline, and it is too unsafe to lead by one goal, and it is difficult for Dortmund to fly the three points in hand.

However, Klopp still replaced Zhou Yi, because the next Champions League is equally important, and he does not want Zhou Yi to get the fullest rest.

Fortunately, Dortmund withstood the opponent's attack and finally won the game with a score of 1:0, and was finally not caught up by Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund have drawn old rivals in the Champions League quarter-finals this time around, having met AC Milan in the quarter-finals last season.

At that time, when the lottery results came out, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

I think it's too coincidental that Dortmund and AC Milan have met again, is UEFA trying to create a new pair of rivals?

After the results of the draw came out, the "Milan Sports Newspaper" couldn't wait to shout the slogan of "revenge".

AC Milan do have that confidence too.

After being eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last season, AC Milan won the league title by a large margin, ending Inter Milan's previous five-game league title. They finished winning the title by as many as six points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan.

They have been doing well this season as well.

After 23 rounds of Serie A, they won 14, drew 5 and lost 4, accumulating 47 points. With a goal difference of five points, Juventus is the top of the league.

After buying out Ibrahimovic from Barcelona, AC Milan, which has been in the works for several seasons, seems to be on the rise.

After the excellent results and excellent form, when they met Dortmund, the enemy who saw them eliminated from the Champions League last season, it was naturally very red-eyed, and this revenge could not be avenged.

AC Milan have been in good form this season, and Klopp does not dare to take it lightly, so he would rather give up a league game than let Zhou Yi get time to rest.

Fortunately, in the end, Dortmund still won in the league.

They can be distracted by AC Milan.

Although AC Milan shouted the slogan of revenge, Klopp still hopes to add a "new hatred" to the "old hatred" of the two teams.

If AC Milan resent Borussia Dortmund for knocking them out of the Champions League once, then do it again.

Anyway, their resentment won't make Klopp lose a pound of meat......
