But for Dortmund sports director Sebastian Kehl
the race has not yet been decided.
"It was no doubt a bitter day but we are Borussia and we will
get up again," Kehl said. "This thing is not over yet and the
title race has not yet been decided."
Dortmund have a busy few days ahead with their German Cup
quarter-final on Wednesday against RB Leipzig before hosting
third-placed Union Berlin in the Bundesliga next weekend.
PSG'S SEASON GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE
Paris St Germain's season could take an ugly turn if their
current form continues, with the team suffering their second
successive home defeat after they were beaten 1-0 by Olympique
Lyonnais on Sunday.
It was also the capital side's fifth defeat in Ligue 1 this year
as they saw their lead slashed down to six points with
second-placed RC Lens visiting the Parc des Princes in two
weeks.
PSG have already been eliminated from the Champions League and
the French Cup, leaving coach Christophe Galtier in an
uncomfortable position as the end of the season looms.
Marseille are third, behind Lens on goal difference after a 1-1
draw against Montpellier on Friday.Monaco are fourth, three
points behind after a spectacular 4-3 home win against Racing
Strasbourg.
NO EXCUSES FROM SPALLETTI
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti refused to blame the absence of
Serie A top scorer Victor Osimhen for the league leaders's 4-0
hammering by AC Milan.
The 24-year-old Nigerian striker has scored 21 goals for Napoli
in Serie A this season but had to sit out Sunday's match due to
a thigh strain.
"Mathias Olivera and Piotr Zielinski both returned with problems
(from international duty), Osimhen had that injury, so we were a
little unlucky with this round, but Milan too had players away
on international duty."
With Napoli still holding a 16-point advantage over second
placed Lazio, Spalletti refused to get too worked up by Sunday's
result.
"Milan had an excellent performance, started strong and then
made the most of all the opportunities we allowed them when we
got stretched out, using those spaces cleverly," he said.
