FC Bayern Forum

Honestly the best Der Klassiker in a couple years. Hard fought and a meaningful match. Just glad to see Dortmund not choke again. Those blowouts just get a bit boring lol

Even if Kimmich hadn't scored that somewhat lucky goal, it would've been a 0-0 result I would be proud of.

Müller is absolutely exhausted during his post match interview, what a well deserved 3 points after such a workmanlike performance. Everything left on the pitch. Also his imitation of Davies as the roadrunner was class

I have very little to complain about that match.
Were we at our best? No, of course not. But frankly, we rarely are when at the Signal Iduna.
We did exactly enough to leave with three points, and that's fine. A 1-0 gets you the same points as a 5-0. We noticeably tried to (and succeeded in) lower the pace in the second half - which is the smart play. A 1-0 win that gets you 3 points and conserves bodies/energies is better than a 3, 4, 5-0 win that also gets you 3 points but burns out your players more.
And as said above - the fearlessness/aggression is so nice. There's a noticeable confidence that's returned to the players. Overall we can be quite happy with the performance today and know that we've basically got one foot on the town hall balcony at this point.

Lewandowski’s been a bit selfish with Perisic today.

A hyped game that couldn't live up to it's expectations. Bayern is simply to good or not bad enough to let other teams play with them in the playground. Pure class Kimmich goal, you could see that Burki knew what was coming but had to capitulate anyway. Second half Bayern controlled the game totally, even when they were defending. Really don't know what to say about Dortmund, they are not just up for it to compete with Bayern in the long run, sad but true.

I think that’s a bit harsh on your great performance today.

too early to say

That's mutu

tomorrow the table could be:

1) Bayern - 64
2) Leipzig - 57
3) Dortmund - 57
4) Leverkusen - 56
5) Gladbach - 55

the race to the title is still open - we have to face Leverkusen and Gladbach and with Leipzig vs Dortmund, unless they draw we gain points only on one contestant

It’s over guys. 8 in a row.

Don't think the town hall balcony celebrations be happening this year unfortunately
