Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt Secure Champions League Berths in Bundesliga Finale

Borussia Dortmund achieved a remarkable ascent in the Bundesliga, finishing fourth and securing a coveted Champions League spot after being 11th in March. Their 3-0 win over relegated Holstein Kiel, combined with other results like Eintracht Frankfurt's victory over Freiburg, ensured Dortmund and Frankfurt's qualification for the Champions League. The team's turnaround under coach Niko Kovac, who has solidified his position for the next season, was highlighted by an undefeated run in the last eight matches and a potent attacking style. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig failed to qualify for European competition for the first time since their Bundesliga debut, losing a decisive match to VfB Stuttgart and finishing seventh. Freiburg settled for a Europa League place, and Heidenheim was confirmed in the relegation play-off spot after a heavy defeat. The season also marked the end of an era for Bayern Munich's veteran Thomas Muller, who won his 13th Bundesliga title but will not continue in the German top flight next season.
