Even growing up in Warsaw, Robert Lewandowski was a Dortmund fan. He was the top scorer in Poland's third division, before moving up to become the top scorer in the second division the next season.

Who is the best soccer team in Germany? Borussia Dortmund!
It's the last round of the 2011-12, and the most pressing issue left to be decided is which team will get directly relegated and which will earn a spot in the relegation playoff against the third-best team from division two. The two candidates are Cologne and Hertha Berlin.
