Borussia Dortmund squandered a huge chance of winning their first championship in eleven years. BVB did not go beyond a 05-2 (2-0) draw against FSV Mainz 2 on Saturday and let perennial champions FC Bayern Munich pass them at the top of the Bundesliga table.

With a late goal at 1. FC Köln, FCB secured the title. Instead of coming from the Ruhr area, the champion of the 2022/23 season will once again come from Munich.
