This is nuts.

Stuttgart leads now
16th Hamburg
17th Freiburg
18th Paderborn
A goal can change everything again.

They would be 7th - and that is enough when Wolfsburg wins the Cup. If they win the Cup they will have Europa because of the Cup win.
Hamburg are relying on others now. They have done their bit.
No 7th is enough. If Dortmund win the cup final against Wolfsburg, they'll qualify as the cup winner directly for the group stages. If they lose the cup final, they'll qualify as 7th placed team for the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, because Wolfsburg is already qualified for the CL.
Todor Nedelev coming on for Mainz. What a waste of potential he's been, although the injuries didn't help either.
Yeah you guys are right about the Europa League, I completely forgot about the Cup final.
Augsburg was a 2nd goal and now in 5th place
Has there been a more useless team than Schalke, in any league, at any time?

Augsburg now winning.
A goal for Paderborn keeps Hamburg up, a goal for Freiburg sends Hamburg down.
Haha that Freiburg player haha what on earth...what a OG
Now Hannover scores the 2:0...
Hamburg and Stuttgart, can't believe these once great teams are so crap, what happened to them?
No, no, no, no, no....
Stuttgart and Hamburg dodging a bullet, Freiburg going down...

The Bundesliga relegation playoff is one legged or two?
Come on Freiburg. Petersen, one more.
Streich is an idiot. Why was Petersen on the bench for like forever?
Augsburg. What a development the club made over the past years. The 2nd smallest budget in the league, but finished 5th. Incredible.
Paderborn and Freiburg go down, Hamburg in the relegation playoffs
Hamburg will playoff now, right? Will they be overwhelming favourites against whoever is from div. 2 or it will be tough call?
For us neutrals, it is nice to see likes of Stuttgart and Hamburg staying up.
Yeah. When you are down 0-1 at HT you need to bring on your best striker. Absolutely nuts.
Hamburg really seems indestructable. Last season they go into relegation by one point with the least amount of points ever, while the last three teams all lose their final five games. This year they score only 25 goals in 34 matches and get rescued by a pathetic Schalke side, that have no pride or coaching at all. DiMatteo winning the Champions League is a bigger miracle than a 65 year old ugly homeless bum banging a supermodel.
Kloppo lap of honour to huge applause and a universal standing O.
So Dortmund's "catastrophic" season still gets them EL qualification plus a possible DFB Pokal win. Not that bad after all, well done Mr. Klopp!
Hm. This is more than I could hope for really, what a nerve wrecking match day. But the worst is yet to come, relegation play off games are just awful, don't really want to watch that.
Shame that Freiburg is going down, Paderborn in Liga 2 is ok though.

I remember paying them a visit in the old Rosenau stadium in 2005. Lovely old style stadium and good atmosphere when they gave 1860 a good 3-0 beating with 32.000 watching. Thought it was only a matter of time before they go up back then, seemed to have Bundesliga potential after being in no man's land for years. Excellent achievement by them and Weinzierl.
What a sad end to this season. 
Why did you bottle it so hard Freiburg?

Quality send off.
Well the 2nd division has been weak this season, but so has Hamburg. To me it´s a pick´em, although bookies probably won´t see it that way. Not like Hamburg did anything, but fight hard for the last five games and got lucky to play a shit team like Schalke in the end.
Last year Hamburg in the relegation battle had horrendous stamina and were basically dead after 60 minutes in both legs, but Fuerth failed to convert anything and conceded on a corner.
I had over a month to prepare myself for this moment and it still brings tears to my eyes. First time for a decade I cried because of football.
Thank you Kloppo, thank you Captain.
End of an era...
Now let´s finish it properly with a home win in Berlin.

The way they're playing, it'll be a tough call. They'll face either Darmstadt, Karlsruhe or Kaiserslautern. All three are very different teams, in playing style and in stature and experience. I expect Hamburg to win the relegation playoffs against all of them.
I hope KSC finish 3rd, I think they can give Hamburg a very good game.
Yep, Hamburg will have to play the third in the 2. Bundesliga table, which at the moment is Karlsruher.
I don't know about them being overwhelming favorites to be honest, I've watched them a few times over the season and they were beyond abysmal (no offense gorelx). It depends on the quality of the 2.Bundesliga side they'll face but If I had to guess, I'd say it'll be a very close tie.
What now for Dortmund? No European football?
VfB survive, wunderbar!
I have watched quite a bit of Kaiserslautern this season and they were playing pretty well for most parts of the campaign. They have a very young and inexperienced team though which showed in the last few games, they simply collapsed right in front of the finish line.
Can't really comment on the other two teams, I just hope we avoid K'Lautern though. Them having Demirbay (on loan from us) as well...

We are safe for the last qualification round for the Group stages of next years EL. A cup win next weekend will seed us directly into the group stages.
7th is enough to qualify for the EL if they lose the cup final. If they win the cup final, their league position doesn't matter anyway.
