Borussia Dortmund's capitulation at the hands of Real Madrid in the Spanish capital on Tuesday somehow seems in keeping with the wildly out-of-balance nature of the Schwarzgelben in their current guise.
It was a reunion on multiple levels: a meeting with the team that defeated them in the UEFA Champions League final 143 days prior, a hello again to the man who guided them to that match at Wembley, Edin Terzic, who is doing TV punditry duty for Amazon Prime. Most strikingly, though, it was a reunion with the plain reminder that Dortmund are far from complete -- indeed fundamentally flawed.
