FC Bayern against BVB: Dortmund annoys the leaders

FC Bayern, cited by Thomas Müller as captain, missed the decisive step towards the 34th championship title in the Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund. Three hours after the 0-0 template by pursuer Bayer Leverkusen, the Munich team also had to be satisfied with a draw in the 2-2 (0: 0).

The lead of the German football record champion is therefore six points five days before the end of the season. The German Clásico only lived up to his call after the break. Suddenly the BVB led three days after the 0: 4-chicken in the Champions League against FC Barcelona through a header by Maximilian Beier (48th minute).

The Bavarians struck through the substitute Raphael Guerreiro and Serge Gnabry. But the guest team of ex-Bavaria coach Niko Kovac showed great morals in front of 75,000 spectators in the Allianz Arena. Defender Waldemar successfully dusted to 2: 2 (75th).

For Bayern, the course of the game and the result was another damper before the Champions League second leg next Wednesday at Inter Milan. They had lost the quarter-final first leg 1-2 at home. The BVB missed an important victory in the fight for a European Cupplatz, but showed a more than good reaction three days after the 0: 4 in Barcelona. The guests, whose best goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was, was lucky that the ball hit the crossbar in a rescue operation by defender Anton (56.).

After Müller’s Joker use with goal against Inter, coach Vincent Kompany put the outgoing Bayern legend in the starting eleven this time. “Simply because Thomas always brings something,” as the Belgian at Sky explained before the kick -off.

Müller was actually an asset. The 35-year-old was traveling a lot, appeared as a template as a 1-1 positive and also shot with the right and left. But overall, the Munich’s offensive game was lacking in sharpness and consistency. Before the break, Josip Stanisic gave the 1-0 (35th) freestanding from five meters. In addition, Michael Olise (40th) and Harry Kane failed in added time on the well -reactive goblin.

Kovac had asked for more mentality, more willingness to run, more cohesion and compact as a disaster against FC Barcelona. That is why Captain Emre Can and his colleagues tried their way. The post only went forward at Borussia after the break.

The first guest attack took the lead. At the high flank of Julian Rerson, Bayern talent Jonas Urbig, who continues to represent the not yet Fitten Manuel Neuer in the goal, stuck on the line. National player Beier hit his head on the second post. The goal gave the game an energy boost.

Borussia suddenly developed a belief in victory, countered at speed. Substitute Serge Gnabry brought Bayern back into play, which remained open until added time.
