Borussia Dortmund are fighting for their lives in the Bundesliga top-four race just one season after taking Bayern Munich to their limit in the Bundesliga title race. Yet despite their struggles domestically after failing to adequately replace the best player in the world, Jude Bellingham, Dortmund are back in the Champions League semifinals for the first time since Jurgen Klopp took them to the final against bitter rivals Bayern. BVB's path to the semis wasn't exactly easy either, as they had to get past two-time finalists Atletico Madrid and one of the best players in the world in his own right, Antoine Griezmann. But that's exactly what Dortmund achieved with a ferocious second leg showing, winning 4-2 in front of their home fans to turn the tie in their favor, showing once aga...

Borussia Dortmund are at risk of falling outside of the Bundesliga top four this season. Although they have shown great resiliency in some matches, such as a recent comeback victory over rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach, there is a clear lack of talent in this squad compared to past seasons.

However, Dortmund's best teams have been about the collective rather than young superstars, with the sides from the late 90s and early 2010s standing out as some of the most special in European football over the last few decades. Stars of those teams will be represe...

Borussia Dortmund are expected to lose Jude Bellingham this summer transfer window. Real Madrid are reportedly close to signing him. Not only is Bellingham already one of the world's best midfielders at the age of 19, but he is also arguably the only midfielder capable of starting for a team with Bundesliga title aspirations. Die Schwarzgelben will need to replace him with at least one midfielder in their never-ending effort to beat Bayern München at the top of the German league. Nobody can replace Bellingham one-for-one, but there are several compelling options around European football - and the Bundesliga - for Dortmund to target this summer. Enzo Le Fée, Lorient Nobody stands out more than Enzo Le Fée. The Lorient youngster has the eye of so many clubs around European football, and...
