And Dortmund would be surprised if indeed they go to their Klassiker with a chance to actually tie the top of the league.

And let's not forget that their Klassiker is at home for Borussia Dortmund.

So...

You can make an argument.

This is what I would say about Dortmund and Niko Kovac.

In particular, Niko Kovac.

What you see from Borussia Dortmund lately, I would say over the last couple of months, is something that we haven't always seen from this team.

And there I say, toughness.

I'm seeing a team that has some toughness about them, that has some strength about them, that has some personality and a clear identity.

It doesn't mean that they're going to go on and win all the matches that they need to win.

But at the very least, you can watch this team and say, this is what they want to do.

This is how they're going to do it.

And they're mentally tough enough to do it.

The problem is that they've given themselves too much work because in the earlier part of the season, they wasted too many points and too many unnecessary draws.

And they allowed Bayern Munich to feel like they were running away with it.

Bayern Munich has dropped a couple of points here and there, and that allowed Dortmund to kind of get in the picture.

But if they're going to be fully in the picture,

Like Jan just mentioned, they have to do something against Leipzig, win that match and then put some pressure on Bayern Munich.

Watch party.

Watch party.
