Under manager Horst Köppel, Borussia Dortmund competed in the Bundesliga, finishing 10th, reflecting another mid-table campaign. The squad featured emerging talents such as Michael Zorc, Karl-Heinz Riedle, and goalkeeper Eike Immel, blending attacking potential with experienced defensive players. Dortmund showed flashes of attacking quality but struggled with consistency and defensive organization, limiting their ability to challenge for the top spots. In domestic cup competitions, they had moderate runs but failed to claim silverware. The season was one of transition, laying groundwork for the development of players who would become key in Dortmund’s rise to domestic and European prominence in the early 1990s.
