Here for the Long Haul?
Is it too early to install Dortmund as the favorites for next season's Bundesliga as well?
After doing the double over Bayern this season, Dortmund appear to have figured out how to beat their more illustrious rivals on the pitch.
Off the pitch, they're showing they can compete as well.
The addition of Marco Reus from Borussia Monchengladbach will clearly help Dortmund next season. The same could be said for the return and further development of Mario Götze, who had been linked with several elite clubs before suffering a long-term injury in January.
This season, Dortmund have set a club record by going 24 matches (and counting) unbeaten in league play. What will they do for an encore?
