Borussia Dortmund have established themselves as Germany’s second biggest club, winning a pile of domestic honours and the Champions League. But they are gaining an unwanted reputation for near misses
The Black and Yellows are eight-time Bundesliga champions and are one of only three German clubs to have won the European Cup, having done so in 1997.
To most modern football fans, the name Borussia Dortmund evokes images of Jurgen Klopp's heavy metal soccer, the superb albeit injury-stricken Marco Reus, as well as a culture of letting young talented players lead the club's charge for silverware.
Dortmund's youth-focused philosophy has seen Christian Pulisic (£57.6m), Jadon Sancho (£76.5m), Erling Haaland (£54m) and Jude Bellingham (£112m) become some of the club's biggest exports in recent years.
