BVB files a complaint with UEFA

Before kick-off in the UEFA Europa League match away to PAOK Saloniki, the rucksacks and bags of some BVB fans went missing due to the inspection measures taken by the PAOK stewards.

Borussia Dortmund has already filed a complaint with UEFA and requests that all the fans concerned send an e-mail to [email protected] in order to clarify the facts.

After a bit of a dip in form, we\u2019re ending the season on a high with three wins from four games, and we\u2019ve managed to build up a bit of anticipation for what\u2019s to come. These wins, the way they were achieved and the contract extensions for the young players show that we\u2019re heading into next season with courage, confidence and anticipation. When the manager arrived, we were 11th in the table. Now we\u2019re second and want to fine-tune things together so that next year might be even a bit better, although that\u2019s obviously difficult with 73 points. It was the fifth-best season in Borussia Dortmund\u2019s history \u2013 you could even win the German title with that.

That defensive solidity is worth highlighting. And we\u2019ve also achieved a lot in attack. Today\u2019s win was well deserved and therefore a fitting end to a good season. Now we\u2019re fully focused on preparing for the new season.\u201d<\/p>\nJulian Ryerson<\/b> (in the mixed zone): \u201cIn terms of points, it was a good season for us in the Bundesliga. 73 points is a decent tally. Unfortunately, the gap is a bit too big, but we can build on that. We\u2019ve got ten days off now, so we can recover a bit \u2013 and it\u2019s also very important for our mental state.

We were in the mix for long stretches and achieved the goal that was still possible: finishing second. That\u2019s the main thing. Nevertheless, we had completely different goals, but we didn't manage to finish first. But Bayern have had an outstanding season; we mustn\u2019t forget that. Congratulations to Bayern.

We had plenty of chances to score. After a bit of a dip in form, we\u2019re ending the season on a high with three wins from four games, and we\u2019ve managed to build up a bit of anticipation for what\u2019s to come. These wins, the way they were achieved and the contract extensions for the young players show that we\u2019re heading into next season with courage, confidence and anticipation. When the manager arrived, we were 11th in the table. Now we\u2019re second and want to fine-tune things together so that next year might be even a bit better, although that\u2019s obviously difficult with 73 points. It was the fifth-best season in Borussia Dortmund\u2019s history \u2013 you could even win the German title with that.
