Jonathan Lïew was there to see Dortmund blow the title.
As the full-time whistle blew on a breezy early-summer afternoon, a strange and unfamiliar noise gripped the huge Westfalenstadion: the sound of nothing at all. A silence, an emptiness, a void, an unrequited longing. Eleven years without a title will become 12, and now how many more? There were bitter tears and there will be even bitterer memories: the photographic negatives of a day on which Dortmund came, and saw, and did not conquer.
