Dhe thoughts of Marco Reus wandered, fleeing into blissful memories as he tried to grasp the historical dimension of that ludicrous finale, at the end of which Borussia Dortmund lost 2-3 to Werder Bremen. “The last game where things went something like this, but the other way around, was our game in the Champions League against Malaga. Now we’ve experienced what it’s like for ourselves,” said the BVB captain after his team had led 2-0 up to the 89th minute and lost in the end.
On the magical night in Malaga in the spring of 2013, Dortmund needed two more goals of their own at the beginning of added time to reach the semi-finals of the premier class. The miracle came true. Now Bremen had even turned a lost game with three goals of their own. Never before have a team scored three goals so late in a Bundesliga game, and Dortmund have lost a home game after a 2-0 lead for the first time since 1982.
