BORUSSIA Dortmund will collect their first Bundesliga crown in 11 years if they defeat Mainz at home on Saturday.
Dortmund are two points clear of Bayern Munich at the top as they go into the final game of the season.
Bayern head to Cologne needing a win, coupled with a draw or defeat for Dortmund, to hand them an 11th successive German top-flight title.
“We cannot allow this to be taken from us,” said Dortmund sports director Sebastian Kehl.
Kehl, who captained the 2011-2012 team that won the league under former boss Jurgen Klopp, added: “We just have to win one more time.
“Basically I have a good feeling, but I know that we have to perform really well one more time and then we will deserve it.
“When the players ride the bus to the stadium they will be cheered on by the crowds. That will push them.”
While it has been a rollercoaster of a title race so far, with Dortmund and Bayern trading places at the summit several times, if Edin Terzic’s team can finish off the job it will cap a remarkable triumph.
