Honestly our success this season depends on how fast our back line can get back from injuries. It was great to see Schlotterbeck on the field again. But it is a story we have all seen before, Dortmund looks solid, but unfortunately it is the Bundesliga, and Bayern will always win the league bar a miracle.
