What German football club has produced the most stories in the 21st century?

I’d argue it isn’t the one that has won the most — but the one that has finished second the most.

Borussia Dortmund. The Westfalenstadion. The Ruhr.

Home to the tactics that reshaped modern football.
Home to a stand that captivated the world.
Home to a club that has charmed supporters from the United States to Australia.

This is a story of revolution and collapse. Of brilliance and heartbreak. Of why we love this game.

How Vincent Kompany made all the worst choices in his lineup selection.
A quick recap of how the game went.
The problem with Bayern Munich right now: Guardiola syndrome.
Joshua Kimmich is not fit and he's dragging the whole team down with him.
