BVB squandered the title on the last matchday with a 2-2 draw against Mainz. The frustration of some Dortmund fans was directed at the opponent.

The sting sat deep with the fans of Borussia Dortmund. On the last Bundesliga match day, BVB gave away the championship.

They only managed a 2:2 draw against FSV Mainz 05, while Bayern won 2:1 at 1. FC Köln. The fact that Mainz, despite their position in the no-man’s land of the table, threw everything into the balance against BVB obviously caused great frustration on the Dortmund side. This was vented on the social networks.

According to Christian Heidel, many BVB fans showed a lack of decency and level-headedness. The sports director of Mainz deplored the hostility and incitement on the internet against FSV Mainz 05 after the season finale at Borussia Dortmund.

“The insults go into an area that is light years below the belt,” criticised former Schalke sports boss Heidel in a media round on Sunday. “It made me think, but we can deal with it.”

The club had rarely received so many reactions after a Bundesliga match as on Saturday, Heidel reported. The draw meant that BVB had lost the championship, which they thought was safe.

Instead, record champions Bayern Munich celebrated the title. “Of course we also wished that there would be another champion,” said Heidel, “but it can’t be that we influence that.” It was “normal that we try everything to win a game”, the 59-year-old affirmed. “Normally we deserve a fair play award for that. “

The chance to win the ninth league title in Dortmund’s Kub history seemed to inhibit rather than inspire the professionals. The start of the game was like a nightmare. After 24 minutes, BVB was trailing 0:2, and Sebastien Haller also missed a penalty. And so the disaster took its course.
