BVB as kingmakers: Schalke champions in Dortmund? Dat darf nich sein - that cannot be allowed. Not only the fans thought so, but the Dortmund team did too in 2006/07, a season in which they had hardly spoiled their own supporters and only mathematically secured survival on Matchday 32. Their bonus was, from Dortmund's point of view, the sweetest derby win of all.\n\nOn May 12, 2007 goals by Alexander Frei and Ebi Smolarek ripped Schalke's title dream apart in a 2:0 win.
Since Stuttgart won in neighboring Bochum, it was the Swabians who went top and ultimately became champions.
