The fluorescent Borussia Dortmund

The first phase of the Champions League news leaves us three good teams as, although not candidates have achieved qualification for the second round with some slack. One is the Malaga , which at its premiere can boast of reaching the final round as the leader of his group, as well as play a game that has nothing to do with the racanería or boredom. Quite the contrary. Another group that has done a fine job, although reprehensible behavior is Shakhtar Donetsk, who will fight with Juventus for first place in a group in which the great victim may be the reigning champions Chelsea in trouble one that not depend on himself to win the title. Finally, in Group of Death, Borussia Dortmund is back on track in the Old Continent to play football a few months ago made ​​him Bundesliga champions. The Germans have not lost a game despite having the likes of Manchester City or Real Madrid and is postulated as the main threat to the hegemony usual.

Jürgen Klopp has managed to move to the continental showpiece which takes time cultivating your country. A football association based in the daring and, above all, talent. Two summers ago was proclaimed league champion with a staff that mediated 23.5 years of age . By then paraded in Dortmund players like Sahin , Lucas Barrios and Shinji Kagawa, a bargain that cost 300,000 euros and was transferred to Manchester a few months ago for 16 'kilos'. Without them, but Klopp in charge, the style has not only remained but stressed thanks to the emergence of players like Mario Götze, Lewandowski or brilliant signing for this course, a Marco Reus that oozes class on all sides and that was part of the club's youth ranks before you pack and operate at Borussia Mönchengladbach. A cast of superclasses perfectly protected by less media names but just as important as Gündogan, Kuba-now-injured, Grosskreutz or central duo, Hummels and Subotic, life insurance back.

The Germans, who at last year fell to the first change in a group of Arsenal, Marseille and Olympiacos, nothing to do with the term, we have retaliated for his disappointing performance a splendid start to curdle. Perhaps the only 'but' that can be criticized for Klopp and his players is that they have somewhat neglected the domestic competition, where, after twelve days currently occupy fourth place, nine points behind Bayern Munich a landslide. Otherwise, nothing to blame Borussia that combines a youth, class and ease and so far do not know the troubles in Europe. Yesterday he walked in the Amsterdam Arena against Ajax, with goals from his magical trident, and against Real Madrid did not lose any of their matches . Reach as the first round in a fortnight and receive a City that will fight to enter the Europa League! 15 years ago that does not reach the European scepter but at least now emphasize again, to shine, as well as their clothing by then . Fluorescent.
