Dortmund’s Borussia showed what they can do in their 1-0 win in Newcastle: a mature mix of calm, resilience – and a lot of courage. That gives hope for the league.
Lots of rain and people who weren’t wearing very much: that wasn’t the picture that the celebrating Dortmund fans gave late at night in Newcastle. Rather, it was a sign that there is life outside of football in the nightlife city in the north-east of England.
The predominantly young party crowd walked through the soaking wet streets on this Wednesday evening in a cheerful mood. With the football city of Newcastle, however, things were a little different. The 0-1 loss against Borussia Dortmund suddenly brought them out of their frenzy.
