Chapter 637 - 121: Double Champion! Perfect Storm! Bonus Reward! The Strongest Champion in History! Wang Shuo Was Severely Underestimated
The Polish right-back made a slight adjustment, glancing toward the penalty area and focusing on Wang Shuo’s position.
Wang Shuo was positioned at the top of the arc, directly behind Frankfurt’s center-back, Ruth, but he pointed toward the left side of the penalty area.
There were no defenders there.
After a quick adjustment, Piszczek immediately sent in a cross.
The ball arced through the air, dropping into the left side of the penalty area.
Wang Shuo made a quick forward run, getting into position just in time to leap up and head the ball back toward the center.
Just then, the onrushing Götze unleashed a furious shot, once again finding the back of Frankfurt’s net.
2-0!
In the 19th minute of the match, the attack once again came from Dortmund’s right flank.
After receiving the ball on the right side of the halfway line, Piszczek launched a long ball into the left channel, about 30 meters from Frankfurt’s goal. The unmarked Reus flicked a header on behind him.
Wang Shuo darted out from between the two center-backs, beating everyone to the ball and slotting it home with a placed shot.
The ball slipped past Fermain and rolled into the Frankfurt goal once more.
"3-0!"
"Not even 20 minutes into the first half, and Dortmund has already scored three goals!"
"We’ve been saying it all along—every time Wang Shuo plays against Frankfurt, he’s especially fired up!"
"In less than 20 minutes of this match, he already has two goals and one assist!"
"I’m sure that right now, seeing Wang Shuo in such devastating form, the Frankfurt fans must be incredibly disappointed and full of regret."
"If Wang Shuo had stayed at Frankfurt, I’m sure they wouldn’t be in this situation."
"But in the world of football, there are no ’what ifs’!"
...
With a 3-0 lead, all suspense was gone from the match.
The Dortmund players began to play with complete freedom.
Everyone was playing in a relaxed manner, and they started showing off skills rarely seen in a typical match.
This was especially true in the second half.
Even Piszczek got in on the action, showing off a rare bit of flair.
In the 58th minute, he received a back-pass from Kuba on the right wing, then suddenly burst forward. He dribbled past three Frankfurt defenders, broke into the penalty area, and drove into the right side of the six-yard box before squaring the ball to the far post.
Reus ran onto it and tapped the ball into the goal.
4-0!
Then, in the 63rd minute, Götze played a precise through ball.
Wang Shuo timed his run perfectly to beat the offside trap, breaking into the box to go one-on-one with the keeper. Facing the onrushing Fermain, Wang Shuo used a series of quick stutter-steps to dummy his opponent. Instead of shooting himself, he used the outside of his right foot to pass the ball across the goal.
The trailing Kuba calmly slotted it home.
5-0!
The excited Polish winger leaped onto Wang Shuo’s back, letting Wang Shuo carry him all the way to the sideline.
The Dortmund fans in the stadium were going absolutely wild.
Then, in the 69th minute, Lewandowski was already standing on the sideline, preparing to be substituted on.
Just as Wang Shuo was about to be substituted off, Sven Bender suddenly unleashed a long shot from outside the box.
The shot was powerful and low, and it took an awkward bounce inside the six-yard box.
The goalkeeper, Fermain, was well-positioned, but he was caught off guard by the bounce. As he tried to gather the ball into his chest, he fumbled it.
In a situation like this, was Wang Shuo going to miss?
He pounced on the rebound and swept the ball into the net once again.
"A hat-trick!"
"My god, Wang Shuo has scored a hat-trick!"
"Dortmund is absolutely running riot!"
"Frankfurt is collapsing like a landslide; they can’t stop Dortmund’s attack at all."
At times, Dortmund didn’t even have to deliberately attack.
Just three minutes after Wang Shuo was substituted off for Lewandowski, Reus suddenly pressed high, stealing the ball right off Ruth’s foot before passing it to Lewandowski.
The Polish striker himself didn’t seem to expect such a mistake from the Frankfurt center-back. Rushing his shot, he didn’t strike the ball cleanly and sent it wide of the goal.
However, before the match ended, Lewandowski met a cross from Schmelzer on the left flank with a powerful header in front of goal, sealing the victory for Dortmund.
7-0!
No one was happier than the Dortmund fans.
They could hardly believe that in the final match of the league season, even after the team had already secured the title, they could still witness such a high-scoring rout.
The frenzied atmosphere in the stadium reached its absolute peak!
...
In the end, after a 7-0 thrashing, Dortmund lifted the Bundesliga championship shield!
Dom’s Frankfurt side was dominated by Dortmund for the entire match, completely unable to mount any threatening attacks.
After this disastrous defeat at the hands of Dortmund, Frankfurt’s relegation was sealed.
One could say that Wang Shuo had single-handedly kicked Frankfurt down into the 2nd Bundesliga, a moment of sweet vindication for him.
But by now, he had already put Frankfurt out of his mind.
All 34 matches of the Bundesliga season were now complete.
Dortmund finished with an incredible record of 29 wins and 5 draws, earning 92 points. This set a new record for the highest point total in Bundesliga history and meant they had successfully defended their Bundesliga title!
Meanwhile, Bayern had now gone three consecutive years without winning the title.
This was an extremely rare occurrence in Bundesliga history.
With all Bundesliga matches concluded, Heynckes’ Bayer Leverkusen finished in 2nd place, with Bayern in 3rd.
These three teams qualified for next season’s Champions League.
Following them were Hannover 96 and Mainz.
Tuchel’s team had a very impressive season.
On the relegation front, St. Pauli and Frankfurt were definitively sent down, while Borussia Mönchengladbach finished 16th and would have to compete in the relegation play-off.
