Borussia Dortmund suffered a major setback in the 17th round of the Bundesliga, losing 2-4 to Holstein Kiel, one of the newcomers of the German league. In this way, the difference between BVB and the leaders may increase significantly – currently Nuri Sahin's team is 14 points behind the leader Bayern Munich. It looks a bit more optimistic that BVB is five points behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig, which occupies the last place that guarantees participation in the league stage of the Champions League.
For years, Borussia Dortmund was considered Bayern Munich's main rival for the championship. BVB's last title was in the 11/12 season. Since then, Bayern has won eleven more titles, and in the 23/24 season Bayer Leverkusen won the historic German championship. Now it seems unlikely that Borussia Dortmund will join the fight for the Bundesliga title.
The lowest BVB level in years. The last time it was this bad was in 2013
The German daily “Kicker” reports that the defeat of BVB against Holstein Kiel also had repercussions on the stock exchange. On Wednesday morning, the price of BVB shares was EUR 2.81 (PLN 11.96), which was a decline of approximately 10%. compared to Tuesday. “Shares recovered only slightly during the day and rose again to just below 3 euros,” the article said.
German journalists point out that the last time BVB share prices were so low was at the beginning of 2013, more than ten years ago. However, back then the stock was in an upward trend, and now the trend is pointing to a decline in the value of the stock. It is worth adding that in March 2019, investors paid over EUR 10 per BVB share. “Kicker” adds that in the 23/24 season, Borussia's revenues amounted to EUR 509.1 million, which was an increase of 21.7%. compared to the 22/23 season.

Borussia Dortmund has been listed on the stock exchange since 2000. BVB was the first German club to issue shares on the stock exchange. At that time, the price per share was eleven euros. They definitely cost the least in 2009 and 2010 – less than one euro. When important things happen at the club that may affect share prices, BVB must make an appropriate announcement on social media.
In the next league match, Borussia Dortmund will play away against Eintracht Frankfurt. This meeting will take place on Friday at 20:30.
