This defeat hurts

Of course, every series comes to an end at some point. But after 14 games without a defeat, it usually comes at a time when you don't expect it. Of course, defeats against Cologne are particularly painful. But let's look ahead. Mainz hasn't won, Frankfurt hasn't won either, and Wolfsburg doesn't have three points in Dortmund tonight either. We have to and can hold 6th place to be in the internationals next year, however. The team deserves it. And then there's the road via Rome to Budapest. There are still exciting, at least five games ahead of us.
