Lucien Favre Defends Dortmund's Record in Second Half of Bundesliga Season After Missing Title

Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre insists that Borussia Dortmund can be happy with their season despite missing out on the Bundesliga title.

Favre was speaking after his side beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 at Borussia-Park on Saturday but still failed to win the league thanks to Bayern Munich's win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Dortmund headed into the final day needing to win against Mönchengladbach and for Bayern to lose to Frankfurt in order to win the league. Dortmund got the result that they needed, but Bayern beat Frankfurt 5-1 to secure the title and prolong Dortmund's wait for a Bundesliga triumph.
