Borussia Dortmund secured their spot in next season’s Champions League with a commanding 4-0 victory over Freiburg in the Bundesliga. The win was decided early with goals from Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy, and Ramy Bensebaini, while Fabio Silva added a late fourth. Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel kept a clean sheet by denying Freiburg’s Cyriaque Irié. With three games left, Dortmund is guaranteed a top-four finish. Freiburg, still reeling from a German Cup semifinal loss, made several changes to their lineup. Dortmund’s coach, Niko Kovač, gave 18-year-old Samuele Inacio his first start, and 16-year-old Mathis Albert made his debut. Meanwhile, Stuttgart’s Champions League hopes were dented by a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, leaving them tied with Hoffenheim on points. Bayern Munich has already clinched the Bundesliga title and will face Stuttgart in the German Cup final.
