If the club€™s 2012/13 season was a dream, 2013/14 was certainly the rude awakening. Dortmund once again met Real Madrid in the knock-out stages of the Champions League though were this time knocked out after the Spanish side effectively killed off the tie with a 3-0 victory in the first leg. After opening the season by raining on Pep Guardiola€™s debut parade with a decisive 4-2 victory in the Supercup, many fans and pundits believed that this could be the season where Dortmund finally overcame Bavarian giants Bayern Munich. However, Jürgen Klopp€™s team failed to deliver on the hype and once again Bayern won the league with ease, with Dortmund failing to come out of their shadow. Currently Dortmund€™s offensive rating on FIFA 14 is an 86, but with the loss of Robert Lewandowski €“ the club€™s highest goal scorer from the past 3 seasons €“ the second best team in the Bundesliga will lose a great deal of potency, likely resulting in their being downgraded in FIFA 15. The fact that the Polish striker is bound for Bayern Munich will surely only strengthen Dortmund€™s rival€™s vice-like grip on the top German league.
