The 20th round of the German championship is dedicated to the Bayern retreat

The 20th stage of the Bundesliga added a dose of suspense within the competition for the Bundesliga title. In the wake of Bayern Munich's setback and Borussia Dortmund's defeat, Monchengladbach managed to regain the runner-up.

Bayern Munich's chance to defend their Bundesliga title has not dwindled seven points behind Borussia Dortmund, but the Bavarian have lost the Bundesliga table to Borussia Moenchengladbach.

This came as a result of a severe defeat at Bayer Leverkusen 3-1, followed by coach Niko Kovac responsible for the players "retarded."

In contrast to Bayern, Gladbach was the biggest winner in the 20th stage of the Bundesliga, beating Schalke 04 2-0. Dortmund had only one point to draw at home to Antrecht Frankfurt.

Bayern are now in need of a great miracle, in which Dortmund's strong side collapses, which is unlikely, according to current data, even if the yellow and black team had two fateful matches against Bayern and Gladbach.

Dortmund missed the opportunity

However, Bavarian coach Nico Kovac insists his team still believes in the title. "The only positive thing is that Dortmund has not scored his three points," Kovac told Sky television. "Now the difference has widened to seven points, it is not the small difference, we have to achieve the best possible results in the last 14 games, which is not easy, we will not give up."

In fact, Dortmund missed a precious opportunity to raise the gap to nine full points. Dortmund coach Lucien Favre had to concede: "We certainly wanted to win and we have to deal with the draw."

Borussia goalkeeper Roman Borki said that Bayern's loss of some solace to his team, but stressed "we are not satisfied with what happened."

Gladbach with a shy ambition

Despite his second place in the standings, Gladbach still considers himself out of the list of candidates for the title, although the defense line and the offensive offer a great journey until the moment.

"We are certainly not wrong not to consider ourselves a rival to Dortmund," said midfielder Christoph Kramer of midfielder Gladbach. "We know that Dortmund and Bayern are superior to us, although it looks different on the table."

Indeed, the team is showing up differently this season, with impressive results at home, winning all nine matches at Borussia Park and waiting for Bayern and Dortmund on the same pitch.
