However, the finals, the Hertha at 0. 3 (0: 1) missed at home to Borussia Dortmund over significantly , “and so there is no clock for me.” In it feel “a little disappointment”.

A bit of a disappointment – more would have been, however, not appropriate in view of the class difference, the both teams embodied this evening at the Olympic Stadium. Hertha BSC had to acknowledge that an almost overpowering opponents stood here in the square, dominant from the first until the last minute, and thus a well-deserved winner of this semi-final.

Since the DFB host the Cup finals in 1985 laid awarded to Berlin, the professionals from Hertha BSC waiting to be able to play such a final again in their own stadium. Until the semi-finals since they were never penetrated, correspondingly large public fuss was in the capital ahead of the game. For Dardais team obviously too large. “Such pressure situation was new for us, we still have to learn to deal with it,” the coach said, “perhaps in the next season in European competition.”

BVB in all respects the best team

the professionals from Borussia Dortmund must not learn something, “one noticed that most of my players are accustomed to act in such situations,” said BVB coach Thomas Tuchel. But not only in terms of experience Dortmunder were superior to their opponents Berlin. In everything else.

In fact, the Berlin ran the Dortmundern almost the entire season just behind. “We had the Hertha actually presented more aggressively,” shrugged Gonzalo Castro, the penalty to 1: 0, even a little surprised shoulders. The 3:. 0 reflected only peripherally the superiority of guests resist, at a better Dortmunder chances, the game as a debacle for the Berliner would have ended

Dortmund missed the dozen best options

Rows of left Marco Reus, Adrian Ramos and Henrich Mkhitaryan from best opportunities so that the Hertha up to 0: 2 by Reus after 74 minutes even dared to hope even in secret to bring BVB somehow with a transformed opportunity to score from the concept. But something like at Anfield, as the Dortmunder the seemingly secured victory at Liverpool still gave out of hand in the previous week, was not repeated this evening certainly.

The fact that the fourth-the Bundesliga with the home advantage of more than 70,000 spectators in the back against second was complete chance, once more made it abundantly clear what immense digging itself opens behind the big two Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in this season. For Tuchel BVB Bayern is ultimately the only reference value in Germany, it is only logical that both team meet again for the final on May 21 in Berlin.

A game, “in which we prepare to beat Bayern,” Tuchel announced accordingly confidently. There had been “claim to achieve this final” be. Whether it will actually win, which however “I will not make my season Conclusion dependent”. For the fourth time in five years, BVB has now reached the cup final for the third time in a row. That’s Bavarian conditions.
