Borussia Dortmund win Bundesliga title!

Borussia Dortmund are the champions of the 2010/11 Bundesliga season! The club from the country's western industrial belt of the Ruhrgebiet won their seventh overall Bundesliga title (1956, 1957, 1963, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2011) in German football, which happens to be their first in nine years.

And the young, talented side coached by Juergen Klopp confirmed their title on match day 32 on Saturday with a heard-earned 2-0 win against 1.FC Nuremberg through first-half goals by Lucas Barrios and Robert Lewandowsky, while closest rivals Bayer 04 Leverkusen lost 0-2 away in the Rhine derby against 1.Cologne. With Dortmund now having eight points more then Leverkusen with only two rounds to go it was party time in Dortmund and for the Borussia Dortmund fans across Germany over the weekend.

After the match ended at 17.21 h on Saturday the sell-out Signal Iduna Park with over 80,000 spectators present was one big party with players, officials and fans celebrating their title. Amongst other things coach Juergen Klopp had to overcome the on pitch beer bath before going through an interview marathon.

"What these young guys have achieved is hard to put into words. The way they have taken our direction and used it on the pitch has been incredible," said a delighted Juergen Klopp.

It has been an incredible season for the BVB's yellow-blacks. The club has so far won 22 of its 32 games losing only four matches. The team has so far conceded only 19 goals and are chasing Bayern Munich's record of only conceding 21 goals a few years ago. Still the team had to face injury problems with seasoned midfielder Sebastian Kehl and defender Patrick Owomoyela out for most of the season with Japanese Shinji Kagawa returning in January from the Asian Cup with a broken foot, while influential midfielder Nuri Sahin has also missed some matches due to injury.

What makes it even more special is that this is a very young side with an average age of only 22 years if you take out goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller who is 30. You have one of Germany's brightest young talent in 18 year old Mario Goetze besides numerous other players who could make it big in the years to come like Sahin, Kagawa, Hummels, Subotic, etc.

Juergen Klopp has been building this side since he joined Dortmund in the summer of 2008 and he stands for a new generation of German coaches, who play a more attractive brand of football and are known as concept coaches due to their way of working. Now next season Klopp will have the tough task of proving that this team is champions material and face tough opposition in the UEFA Champions League.
