The defeat in the bundesliga summit put pressure on the mood, but could not disturb the peace of the club. The day after the 0:3 loss to FC bayern, the annual general meeting of borussia dortmund was largely harmonious.

Reinhard rauball was confirmed in his office as president of the revierclub with a large majority. Despite his dual function, which he has held since his election as league president in 2007, the 66-year-old lawyer does not spout officialdom. "In the combination of sporting success and finances, BVB has never been in such a good position before. We have no fears about the future," he said, accompanied by applause from the 1354 members in attendance.
