Dortmund gambled away the championship on the last matchday. Yet from the 81st to the 89th minute you are German champion for a short, almost measly eight minutes.
Because although they are behind against Mainz at home in the Signal-Iduna-Park, the title seems within reach – thanks to friendly support from Cologne. It is 5.10 pm when Dejan Ljubicic scores from the penalty spot for the equalizer against Bayern. That would be enough for Dortmund to win the championship. Would.
But then, it is now 5.19 pm, Jamal Musiala shoots the German record champion back in front and hits BVB in the heart.
That evokes memories of the championship decision in 2001, when Bayern also dueled in a long-distance duel with a team from the Ruhr area. Even then, the Munich team triumphed on a dramatic last day of play thanks to a late goal. Only: Schalke cheered after the final whistle as if they were champions. Small consolation, but the Dortmunders were at least spared this scenario.
Then Schalke held four minutes for the German champion
However, Schalke already knew before the last day of play that they would depend on support. And it looked like the Royal Blues were going to get them for a long time. At the time Schalke had won their game against SpVgg Unterhaching 5:3 – especially after trailing 2-0 – Bayern were 1-0 behind against Hamburg. Schalke would become champions. Schalke has already been champion for many players. 65,000 fans celebrate the supposed first championship title after 43 years.
In the Parkstadion in Gelsenkirchen, it was wrongly said that the game in Hamburg was over. Andreas Möller was interviewed on camera as if Schalke were champions. The fireworks are set off in the stadium, the championship celebration is about to begin.
Meanwhile, the unthinkable happens in Hamburg. Deep in stoppage time, Bayern received an indirect penalty because HSV goalkeeper Mathias Schober, who was loaned to Hamburg by Schalke, received a back pass. And to top it off, it actually slides under the wall, writhing in the net.
After four minutes and 38 seconds you also get this scene at Schalke – and you have to stop the celebration of the championship. It doesn’t get any more bitter, even though BVB is very close to this scenario 22 years later.
