Borussia Dortmund Champion!
For the second time in two years, the yellow and black outfit from Dortmund is crowned supreme leader of the Bundesliga.
For sure, Borussia deserved it this year, too.
The two games against Bayern, who are seemingly always fighting for the title, proved that Borussia is, indeed, better than Bayern, who is clearly better than the rest.
In the last few matches, alongside Bayern, Borussia Dortmund also had to face Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach, the third- and fourth-placed teams, respectively. And they won all of these matches.
It's very impressive, really, if you examine Dortmund's latest efforts, thoroughly.
The win against the second Borussia, 2-0 at home, was a good team effort, but it seemed like the Monchengladbach team clearly was never going to leave with the three points from the Westfalenstadion. That's not a bad thing, of course. It's just that the drama was minimal.
After 60 minutes, Klopp's team had already scored the two goals that would mark their win, through Perisic (in minute 23) and Kagawa (59).
So, with two games left, Borussia becomes 2011-2012 champion of Germany. Bayern is more than 6 points behind, still. (And that's it for the German league this year.)

What Good Is the Second Borussia?
Borussia Monchengladbach clearly cannot possibly challenge for the title.
Two matchdays ago, they were second, and quite close to the top. Now, one draw and one loss later, they seem already spent.
FC Nurnberg defeated them today, with an 87-minute goal, stopping Borussia M. from reaching second spot in the table again.
That's the way most German football teams perform, though(, except for Bayern Munich). They do well one time, then they take it easy for a very long time.
That could explain why Germany has only one team with tradition of winning.
Maybe Borussia Dortmund can change this, however. (They still have just four Bundesliga titles, but maybe they'll make it 5 this year, and two out of the last two.

Bayer, Bayern, Who's Winning?
Bayer Leverkusen is not in the title race in the Bundesliga.
As a matter of fact, they're not even closer than 15 points from the German leaders.
But they have shown a lot of tenacity when they played Bayern Munich, the team that always starts the German league expecting to challenge for the title.
The team from Munich did, indeed, press more, in this match, but they were very unlucky, overall.
First, Stephan Kiessling tapped the ball in from no more than 2 yards (or approximately 2 meters), in minute 79, after an attack sequence that showed remarkable fighting spirit from the hosts to maintain alive every possible chance of scoring. In the end, unless you're a Bayern supporter, you should appreciate the efforts.
Bayer scored their second in the last minute, through a quick counter-attack, finalized by Bellarabi, as Bayern kept pushing forward.
Also, Borussia Dortmund won, 2-1 at home against Mainz, and so the difference between the two teams became seven points now against the southern German giants.
But, oh, well, Bayern still has over 4 times more championships won than the closest challenger (- 22 to Monchengladbach's 5).

No Top Spot for Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach could have gotten a temporary share of Bundesliga's top spot today (together with the other Borussia, Dortmund), if they had only beaten Hamburger SV, at home.
And they were up 1-0 at half-time, courtesy of Mike Hanke 's deflection that made Arango's free kick go in, in minute 45.
But then some sloppy defending made it possible for Hamburg's forward Arslan to just poke the ball past goalkeeper ter Stegen, which made it 1-1 (in minute 56).
Borussia M. could not muster enough effort to score a second, showing a worrying lack of consistency exactly when they needed it, and that was the final score, sure enough.
Monchengladbach could now lose second spot to Bayern or Schalke, if either of these teams wins, but could not be passed by both because they are going to play each other.
And, also, Borussia Monchengladbach no longer has the best defense in the league, having just conceded their fourteenth goal, which puts them at the same level as Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

Bayern No Longer within Touching Distance
Bayern Munich lost two points in the fight for the title. This was partly due to Dortmund's win at Hertha Berlin, but, more importantly, partly due to their own inability to win at Freiburg. The distance between Bayern and the leaders is four points, after this matchday.
Borussia Monchengladbach also won, away at Kaiserslautern, and passed Bayern, who is now in third.
Well, second or third in Germany doesn't really make a difference, because both teams go into the Champions League group stage the following season, but I guess Bayern people always want to be in contention for the title.
Dortmund is looking good, trying to achieve that goal, by the way, even though they sucked big time in Europe.

Monchengladbach Crushes Schalke
Fourth and third met in the 1. Bundesliga today.
It should have been a nice, tight derby, considering.
But the other Borussia team ridiculed the Gelsenkirchen squad by going 3-0 up in the first 32 minutes. Nothing much happened afterwards.
Reus, Hanke and Arango easily exploited big faults in the Schalke defense, and the two teams switched places in the league standings.
Monchengladbach now has 43 points, while Schalke 04 remains on 41.
Dortmund and Bayern Munich also won, defeating Leverkusen and Kaiserslautern, respectively.
Borussia Dortmund remains leader.

Dortmund on Top
Both Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 Gelsenkirchen failed to keep up with Borussia Dortmund, who won yesterday at Nurnberg.
Bayern needed a 71-minute equalizer from Ivica Olic to draw level with Hamburger SV, 1-1, away from home, while Schalke drew at home against Mainz, registering the same scoreline. Schalke fell behind in the first half, too, just like Bayern.
Now, Dortmund is the sole leader, with a two-point cushion over the two rivals mentioned above.

Borussia Monchengladbach could have leapfrogged both Bayern and Schalke with a win, but they messed it up, too, by drawing 0-0 at Wolfsburg.
