It’s classic time again! BVB welcomes FC Bayern on Saturday evening, both teams are level on points in the table. In view of this starting position, one could expect a balanced game – but if you look at the most recent result of the direct comparison, it becomes clear that Black & Yellow didn’t get a trick against the record champions recently.
Because: In the Bundesliga, the last seven (!) duels of the “Dschööööörman Clasico” all went to the record champions, BVB last won in league operations in November 2018 against their archrival.
At that time Lucien Favre and Niko Kovac were still on the sidelines. From the BVB starting eleven at the time, there is actually only Marco Reus in the current squad – it was also the Capitano who rose to Dortmund’s match winner that November evening. Reus was able to equalize Lewandowski’s lead shortly after the start of the second half. Lewandowski then put Munich in front again, but again it was Reus who drew for BVB.
Substitute Paco Alcacer finally scored the 3-2 winner and ensured that BVB drew seven points ahead of FC Bayern. In the end, however, the victory didn’t help anything: Munich won the second leg in the Allianz Arena 5-0 and were also German champions in 2018/19.
The illness of Mats Hummels, who made a dreadful performance at the time and was responsible for many mistakes, will also not be forgotten in this game. The defender, who was still employed by FC Bayern at the time, said after the final whistle that he had a bad cold and didn’t really want to play – Niko Kovac would have put him up anyway. The former coach then contradicted this representation.
“You don’t have to stand up afterwards and say you were sick. Nobody cares. It’s not right in one or the other’s head,” rumbled Oliver Kahn, who was not yet in an official Bayern function at the time, but worked as a TV expert , according to the statements of the defense attorney.
