With the Champions League final looming, Dortmund kept their celebrations confined to the Olympic Stadium Berlin after winning the title.
Although the DFB-Pokal final kicked off at 7:00 PM, it was already very late by the time the match and celebrations were over. Nevertheless, Dortmund decided to return to Dortmund that very night.
The recovery training session on the morning of the 22nd would proceed as scheduled!
To be fair, the schedule was quite demanding, almost like being forced to work overtime.
But everyone on the team took it in stride, their spirits soaring.
On the bus back to Dortmund, the glistening gold DFB-Pokal trophy was passed from player to player. Everyone had to hold it and touch it, treating it like a peerless beauty.
Humans are just so fickle!
In terms of prestige, the Bundesliga championship shield was definitely more valuable.
But having won the championship shield both last season and this season, this was a new experience.
