Bavaria against Dortmund is not a “classic” (more)!
Borussia Dortmund is currently not a European top team and the so -called “classic” against Bayern Munich is not a classic. In fact, he has never been.
As “the classic on Saturday evening”, Sky announces the upcoming encounter between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund on the 29th matchday. “Although it may not be a real top game this season, the meaning remains unbroken when FC Bayern meets Borussia Dortmund,” says a specially published for the game. Without intended, the broadcaster sums up the problem with it: Bavaria against Dortmund is no “classic” (more)!
The proud Borussia from Dortmund is currently bobbing around in the table in the table in the table. If the BVB is struggling together in the last six games and creates a U -turn, it could still be enough for international business. However, the glossy, yes bottomless appearance at FC Barcelona during the week in the Champions League speaks against it: With 0: 4, the caution of the perplexed coach Niko Kovač came under the wheels. A top European team unworthy.
However, the Dortmunders have not earned this name for a long time. Sure, there is a sensational move into the Champions League final 2024 and also the 2023 championship in the last match day; However, the Borussia have missed the consistency for years.
Other games have more history than Bayern – BVB
Nevertheless, Bavaria has a certain history against Dortmund, many will now say. Already, but there are some European clubs that maintain a longer rivalry. As Uli Hesse von “11 Friends” (in contrast to Bavaria against Dortmund is a classic) very well noted, the Munich and the Dortmund only played their first competitive game against each other in 1965 – and then had hardly any points of contact afterwards. A look at the other leagues shows: When Bayern and Dortmund met for the first time “Celtic and Rangers had already argued 171 times for points or trophies, Real and Barcelona 95 times, River Plate and Boca Juniors 70 times, Ajax and Feyenoord 64 times.”
“The classic” is nothing more than a convulsive attempt to create a German counterpart to the Spanish “El Clásico”. But the magic that comes up in Camp Nou or Bernabeu when Barca meets Real is a different house number. This does not mean that you should not look forward to the Bundesliga game between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund. Of course, this game has its charm. But please leave out this silly name.
