Bundesliga finale: Dortmund narrowly wins the Champions League qualification

Before the 34th round of the league, Dortmund ranked fifth with 54 points, one point behind Freiburg, who ranked fourth. Emre Jan and his teammates are no longer able to control their own destiny, but they still need to win in the face of an opponent who has been confirmed to be relegated to retain hope for the Champions League qualification.

At home, Dortmund successfully completed the task and defeated his opponent 3-0 with goals from Selhu Gilasi, Marcel Sabitze and Felix Nmecha. The fans of the Ruhr area in the stands nervously used their phones to check the results of another game played at the same time. Fans were in a state of excitement when they learned that Freiburg took the lead first but was eventually reversed 1-3 in the match against Frankfurt.

Dortmund narrowly qualified for the Champions League.

This result helped Dortmund replace Freiburg's fourth place position, and also allowed them to appear on the stage of top European club events for the 10th consecutive season. Freiburg regretfully missed the opportunity to advance to the Champions League for the first time in team history, but still qualified for the 2025/26 Europa League with fifth place.

Bundesliga teams that advance to the Champions League next season with Dortmund include Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Frankfurt. Freiburg will participate in the UEFA Cup, while Mainz 05 will qualify for the UEFA League. This is the first time Mainz 05 has appeared in the European arena since 8 years ago.

On the other hand, Kilholstein and Bochum were unfortunately relegated, while Heidenheim needed to fight for hope of continuing to stay in the Bundesliga next season through the play-offs.
