In contrast to Bayern, Dortmund is on a good way to rejuvenating its squad even though the club's leaders only spent 49.5 million euro for new players. Favre has managed to combine the creativity and speed of the team's youngsters with the leadership skills of the experienced campaigners. The club is praising his ability to get everyone toeing the line and creating a unique team atmosphere.

Experienced players like the German international Marco Reus, Danish international Thomas Delaney, and the Belgian international Axel Witsel are responsible for the side's balance and tactical timing. He has also managed to reintegrate problem cases like Mario Goetze.

Several youngsters like former Manchester City striker Jaden Sancho, Swiss international Manuel Akanji, Abdou Diallo, Dan-Axel Zagadou, US international Christian Pulisic, former Real Madrid attacker Achraf Hakimi and Dane Jacob Bruun Larsen stand for Dortmund's youthful nonchalance.

A vital reason for the success is that Favre can count on a newly formed squad. In addition the club has managed to get over the turbulence caused by the departure of coaches such as Tuchel and Dutchman Peter Bosz.

Next to his valuable sensitivity when forming a new team, Favre can count on an excellent team structure after Andre Schuerrle (Fulham), Sokratis (Arsenal) and Andriy Yarmolenko (West Ham United) left to join Premier League clubs. Gonzales Castro also left for league rivals VfB Stuttgart.
