Chapter 1009 Zhou Yi!

After the second half began, Bayern Munich, of course, had to buck up and continue to besiege Stuttgart, hoping to score again, extend their lead, and ensure they could definitely win the game. Then they would take some time to pay attention to the match between Dortmund and Hertha Berlin.

But just as Bayern Munich was preparing to go all out, but had not yet broken through Stuttgart's goal, another piece of news came from Berlin.

Only seven minutes into the second half, a huge, unprecedented boo suddenly rang out in the stands of the Allianz Arena.

The booing swept in, but at the time, it was a Bayern Munich player with the ball.

And it happened to be Götze with the ball.

After the boos sounded, Götze stumbled and almost lost the ball.

But when he realized that the boos weren't for him, he felt even worse.

Because he knew the meaning behind the boos—Dortmund had scored again, they were leading by three goals! Was there any chance of an upset in this game?

He was a little curious: who was the one who scored this time?

"Zhou—Yi!!!" Marcel Reif roared, dragging out the syllables. "3:0! Dortmund leads Hertha Berlin 3:0 on the road! Can I say that the suspense of this season's league title has come to an end?"

In his roar, Zhou Yi ran toward the corner flag while waving to his teammates to follow him. Everyone celebrated the goal together.

And his teammates rushed up happily.

On the Dortmund coaching bench, Klopp hugged the people around him to celebrate.

Everyone was excited.

A two-goal lead in the first half hadn't made them this excited. This goal in the second half released all their emotions.

A three-goal lead!

Even though this was Hertha Berlin's home ground, with Dortmund's current momentum, the possibility of them making a comeback was very, very low.

Many people felt that they were only inches away from the league title…

※※※

Guardiola didn't need anyone to report to him. Just by listening to the boos, he knew that Dortmund must have scored again…

Dortmund led 3:0, and the possibility of them losing the game was almost zero.

Bayern Munich was getting closer and closer to defeat.

His first season at Bayern Munich had begun with ambition, but now it was ending with disappointment and frustration.

Perhaps only his last season coaching Barcelona could compare.

But even in that season, the number of titles Guardiola won was at least more than this season.

In the 2011-2012 season, Guardiola led Barcelona to the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, and the Copa del Rey, only losing the league title and the Champions League title.

And this season at Bayern Munich? The German Super Cup before the season was snatched by Dortmund, and now it seems that only the German Cup still has a chance to win. The Champions League and the league are hopeless.

This is truly a disappointing and terrible season.

Originally, before Guardiola came to Bayern Munich, he felt that Dortmund should have been at the end of their rope. The Bundesliga league was still quite easy to win. If Dortmund was no longer a threat, then no team could threaten Bayern Munich's position. Bayern Munich was the undisputed boss in this place, and he had the final say on everything.

He really felt that as long as he did his job well, it would be enough to win the championship. That's why he said he didn't care about Dortmund's situation. He wanted to show the idea of "focusing on myself," but the media interpreted it as arrogant and conceited, not taking Dortmund seriously.

If he didn't take them seriously, then he didn't take them seriously. He didn't care.

As a result, in his first season coaching the team in the Bundesliga, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Dortmund did seem to be at the end of their rope this season. But the journey to the end of their rope seemed a bit long, and they fought to the very end in the league and the Champions League. Now they were about to defeat Bayern Munich in the league, and who knew what would happen in the Champions League final.

He knew Real Madrid very well, and it would definitely not be an easy game.

But no matter what, Dortmund was about to win one of the most important titles of the season.

Guardiola lowered his head and rubbed the back of his head with his hand.

He had clashed with Dortmund in the German Cup as soon as he arrived at Bayern Munich. At that time, Dortmund gave him a warning.

But he didn't care at the time. Now that he thought about it, perhaps that game foreshadowed the outcome of Bayern Munich's competition with Dortmund this season…

Dortmund's third goal not only frustrated Guardiola, but also almost demoralized Bayern Munich's players.

The situation now was that no matter how many goals Bayern Munich won against Stuttgart, Dortmund was leading Hertha Berlin by three goals. A 3:0 score in such a game was simply a double insurance. It would be difficult for Dortmund to lose the game.

Bayern Munich's fans also knew this, so in the subsequent game, the Bayern Munich fans in the stands of the Allianz Arena were noticeably quieter than before.

The television broadcast frequently captured images of Bayern Munich fans sitting in their seats, holding their heads in their hands, or propping their chins, staring blankly at the field.

This fully reflected the disappointment of Bayern Munich's fans.

Bayern Munich's players also played somewhat listlessly in the game.

In fact, the two teams were only one point apart, but no matter how hard they tried, this one point was like a chasm that could not be shortened or narrowed.

On the Dortmund side, after taking a three-goal lead, Klopp began to make substitutions.

First, he replaced Durm with Schmelzer.

Schmelzer was injured at the end of the season, and his muscle strain kept him out for more than a month.

Now he was finally able to return. This game was also Klopp's way of letting him find the feeling of the game. There were no more requirements.

And his return from injury was also good news for Dortmund, who were about to usher in the Champions League final.

In this way, except for Subotić, the other three main players in Dortmund's defense had returned.

Five minutes later, Klopp replaced Reus with Mkhitaryan.

He didn't replace Zhou Yi yet. Although they were leading by three goals, Klopp was still cautious.

It wasn't until the eighty-second minute that Mkhitaryan crossed from the wing and assisted Mark to score the fourth goal of the game.

Dortmund led Hertha Berlin 4:0, and at the same time, there were only ten minutes left in the game.

Only then did Klopp decide to use his third substitution.

"4:0! The suspense of this game for Dortmund is gone! The suspense of the league title is also gone!" Marcel Reif couldn't wait to announce.

This goal was like the hammer in the auction house, falling for the third time, sealing the deal.

Dortmund's fans had already begun to eagerly celebrate their four consecutive championships.

And the commentators also began to talk endlessly about how difficult it was to achieve four consecutive league titles… After all, this season was too special for Dortmund.

"…In the first half of the league, they suffered continuous major injuries. Everyone felt that Dortmund was finished. Their most realistic goal was second and third place in the league, holding on to the qualification for the Champions League group stage. But Dortmund did not give up. They actually reversed Bayern Munich at the last moment…"

"Bayern Munich's performance this season has been very good and relatively stable. But their biggest mistake was seriously underestimating their opponents. Guardiola just came to the Bundesliga and may not be very clear about the grudges between Bayern Munich and Dortmund, and no one in the Bayern Munich club reminded him not to underestimate Dortmund…"

"Winning the league title for four consecutive seasons, Dortmund has permanently written their name in the history of the Bundesliga with such a wonderful performance! Moreover, this season, they snatched the championship from the mouths of Bayern Munich, who are known as the 'Universe Team'. At the same time, this is under the premise that their lineup has been incomplete for most of the season, which highlights the difficulty and gold content of this championship even more!"

"Dortmund has already won the league title. Next, it depends on the Champions League final. Can they become the first team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League reform!"

…

One by one, they said that Dortmund was already the league champion.

In fact, there were still ten minutes left in the game.

The ball is round, anything is possible, right?

It's just that this time the possibility is indeed a bit too low.

Dortmund's four goals also wiped out Hertha Berlin's fighting spirit. They originally had nothing to ask for, no worries about relegation, no hope for European war, and the last game of the season. The players' minds were probably not on the game, but thinking about vacation and the World Cup.

Dortmund had no life-and-death feud with them, so there was no need to fight to the death when the game had become like this.

On the other side, Bayern Munich fans in the Allianz Arena knew that Dortmund had scored again, but this time, they did not express their dissatisfaction with huge boos.

Instead, they collectively fell silent.

They already knew what the final result of this season would be.

Like last season, they led for most of the season, but fell at Dortmund's feet in the final sprint, surpassed by the opponent, and had the championship taken away.

Suffering such blows for two consecutive seasons made the arrogant Bayern Munich fans unable to help but begin to doubt their lives - what kind of evil did we do to encounter such things twice in a row?

For a moment, the entire Allianz Arena was as quiet as a morgue.

It felt uncomfortable all over.
