Borussia Dortmund Continue Bundesliga Domination: Can Bayern Munich Catch Up?

In the past decade the Bundesliga has been eclipsed by Bayern Munich.

In the past 15 seasons Bayern Munich have won nine titles, and in the past ten seasons they have won six, maintaining a prolific 3:5 title to season ratio.

While before German football was dominated by the Bavarian giants, this season the Bundesliga dances to a different tune—Borussia Dortmund's tune.

Borussia Dortmund have been truly suffocating the competition in Germany's top-tier of football.

In first place, a staggering 12-point lead separates Dortmund from the second-placed Hannover 96.

Jurgen Klopp revolutionized a team, which previously could only arrive in sixth place, into a team which currently fears nothing.

This past weekend, Borussia Dortmund had a big test. Klopp's team had to travel away to face Bayer Leverkusen, and surrounding this match was a large amount of doubt—saying that Borussia Dortmund would buckle under the pressure under the spotlight.

But what took place against Leverkusen wasn't a tense battle, it was a waltz in which Dortmund comfortably won 3-1.

Like a team of miners, excavating towards goal in luxurious style, Dortmund made the Leverkusen players as uncomfortable as they've been in quite some time.

Tireless in attack, Borussia Dortmund's players scored three goals in six minutes: in the 49th, 53rd, and 55th minutes. Kevin Großkreutz scored the first two, and 18 year-old Mario Gotze scored the third.

All three goals were wonderful. Borussia Dortmund were an organic mechanism, working together to pick apart a shaky and imperfect defence.

Mario Gotze tortured Leverkusen in his scintillating performance, and was ultimately substituted because Klopp feared that a Leverkusen player would try and harm the young genius.

Before the season started, this dominance was unimaginable.

Now, Borussia Dortmund are on the track to winning their seventh Bundesliga title—and doing it in style.
