Borussia Dortmund have had a slow start to the season and are currently five points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern.
“Bayern are a superior team,” Gotze told TZ.
“I also think that they are likely to be champions this season. We will of course try our best to retain our title.”
“Right now we are doing quite well in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League we have now finally got the win. We have two more games, then we will see where we stand.”
