A bitter end
But after a crazy final on the last day of the championship on Saturday, the Ruhr club conceded a draw at home against Mainz (2-2), while Bayern Munich, winner in the very last minutes in Cologne (2-1), regained first place in the standings thanks to a better goal difference.
Borussia Dortmund’s stock fell sharply after climbing 32% last week, to 5.93 euros, its highest level since the fall of 2021.
After the same Bayern Munich lost their home game against RB Leipzig a week ago, investors had bet on a consecration of BVB at home in a final match, pushed by its famous Yellow Wall. But under enormous pressure Edin Terzic’s players got through.
