Having pushed both e- and g-pawns, the f5-square has become a serious weakness. If White could plant a knight there, then the game would be decided. However, DB isn't as stupid as that; there is no straightforward route by which a knight can reach the key square. Nevertheless, this long-term weakness remains a lasting burden for Black.
