BVB.

Borussia Dortmund. The team on most fans lips when you think of the Bundesliga and the current Champions League campaign.  This is a team that i personally have been keeping an eye on since at least 2009, when the likes of Mohamed Zidan and Lucas Barrios were leading the line for the German outfit.

Since then, both of them have moved on to pastures new and as the cliche goes, the grass isn't always greener and this has proved so for Mohamed Zidan who is now a free agent however Lucas Barrios isn't doing all that bad at Guangzhou Evergrande.
Another player we've seen leave the yellow of Dortmund was Nuri Sahin who was arguably the heartbeat of Dortmunds team however, when Jose Mourinho comes calling as the manager of Real Madrid, you're not going to say no are you? Sahin went on to make an astounding FOUR appearances for Real Madrid's first XI, was then loaned out to Liverpool who then sent him back to Madrid after 7 appearances and is now back in the black and yellow of Dortmund!

When Nuri was sold to Madrid, Dortmund went on to find a more than capable replacement in the Turkish-born German, Ilkay Gundogan and every time i've been able to catch Dortmund playing, this man has been more than instrumental in not only keeping teams attacks at bay, also being an important player in dictating Dortmunds flow in midfield and attacking in the final third.


A lot of football fans have been reeled in by BVB's attacking, full of flair starting XI and especially in the front four of, Jakub "Kuba" Blaszczykowski, Mario Gotze, Marco Reus and Robert "Lewa" Lewandowski.
The latter, Lewandowski was bought by Jurgen Klopp in the summer of 2010 for a small fee of just 4.5 million Euros, Kuba from Lech Poznan for an undisclosed fee however, no Dortmund fan has good enough reason to complain.
Marco Reus was brought in from Borussia Monchengladbach, in the summer than the dynamic Japanese playmaker Shinji Kagawa was sold to Manchester United and he's certainly justified his price tag.

Jurgen Klopp has a squad under his management that look set for challenge Bayern Munichs domination of the Bundesliga for some years to come and with Bayern Munich bringing in the tactical astute Pep Guardiola in the summer, we are looking to have a superb tactical battle on our hands for the foreseen future with Jurgen Klopp vs Pep Guardiola.
