🏆 8 German championship titles (last two in 2011 and 2012)
🥈 Previous season – silver
👔 Coach – Niko Kovac
💰 Top 3 most expensive players – Niko Schlotterbeck (~€55 million), Seru Girassi (~€42-47 million), Felix Nmecha (~€45-49 million)
📥📤 The main loss – Karim Adeyemi, who moved to Barcelona (~€22-31 million). The club extended contracts with key players – Schlotterbeck (until 2031) and Girassi (until 2028), betting on retaining the core of the team instead of large-scale purchases.
👔 Kovac built a stable, disciplined structure – less chaos, more control in transitions from defense to attack. This is what allowed the “yellow and black” to return to the fight for medals.
📊 Dortmund finished second last season, but given the quality of Bayern’s squad, they can only hope for a miracle.
