Champions League next season? 'it’s almost impossible': Nico Schlotterbeck loses hope
Borussia Dortmund are enduring a dismal season. Nuri Sahin’s winter sacking hasn’t yet sparked significant change, and Niko Kovac can’t fix everything with a snap of his fingers.
Meanwhile, he faces the task of securing Champions League football next season - a prospect Dortmund themselves seem to doubt.
The loss to RB Leipzig dealt another blow to Borussia Dortmund’s pride, further complicating their Bundesliga standing.
Post-match, Nico Schlotterbeck was asked if he still believes in Champions League qualification. "Over and done? It’s tough. It’s almost impossible. The chances are slim now," he replied.
Still, Nico pressed on: "We’ll keep giving our best. After the international break, we need to mount some kind of fightback."
Borussia Dortmund’s next fixture is at home against Mainz on March 30.
