Dortmund closed the season with an anticlimax by swallowing a humiliating second home defeat in a row.
Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper, Roman Burki (29 years), felt his team mates played half-heartedly in an embarrassing defeat to Hoffenheim.
In the final match of the German Bundesliga, Dortmund defeated Hoffenheim 4-0 at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday (6/27).
The visitors’ four goals were bought up by Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric, within 50 minutes. Respectively at the 8th minute, 30 ‘, 48’, and 50 ‘.
Dortmund season ends anticlimax. Although it was confirmed to finish in second place, Die borussen still swallowed the second straight home defeat.
“After the first 45 minutes, you will realize that there are teams on the pitch who really want to be on the field and a team that doesn’t seem to like being there,” Burki told Sky, after the match.
“It shouldn’t be like that. This is a Bundesliga match. We all need to be happy to play here. “Many things went wrong and included the final result of the match,” he added.
Dortmund actually only four points adrift of Bayern Munich when the Bundesliga resumed after the post-suspension last May.
The 4-0 win against Schalke on the restart match indicates that the title race will be tight until the end of the season.
However, at the end of the standings, Bayern are too powerful to ensure the eighth title will be 13 points ahead of Dortmund.

“We have to use the Bayern approach which is the winning mentality,” Burki said.
“They have more than we have who still lose points from matches against teams that are not stronger,” the Swiss goalkeeper said.
“Many times I have never won against Bayern and that is because we do not have the right attitude or mentality,” he concluded.
