Borussia Dortmund's missed German championship has not only plunged the fans into deep mourning. There is also disillusionment among the football club's investors on Whit Monday: On the Tradegate trading platform, BVB shares slumped by a third to 3.92 euros in pre-market trading in the morning. They are in danger of losing more than the previous week's hope rally brought in price gains.
Flashback: After rivals Bayern Munich lost their home game against RB Leipzig a week ago on Saturday, BVB had it in their own hands to become German champions again at the weekend after an eleven-year break. Investors were already celebrating and drove the shares up by 32 percent within a week. At 5.93 euros, the highest level since autumn 2021 was reached.
On Saturday, however, BVB did not manage to bring home the title with a draw against Mainz. Meanwhile, the Bavarians managed the mandatory victory and thus the eleventh championship in a row.
