Dominance in the Table

Saturday's clash in Dortmund, referred to as Der Klassiker, provided fans with a spectacle of the highest European level. Bayern Munich won 3:2, which in the opinion of many commentators almost decides the fate of this year's race for the German championship. Borussia Dortmund started the match with great determination, trying to use the advantage of their home ground and the unique atmosphere of Signal Iduna Park. Although the hosts took the lead, their defense could not contain the offensive potential of the Munich side, embodied by Harry Kane, for the full 90 minutes. The decisive influence on the result came from key players of the visitors. Harry Kane once again proved his killer instinct, and Joshua Kimmich put the finishing touch, scoring at a crucial point in the match. Media emphasize that this victory has not only a points dimension but, above all, a psychological one, pushing Borussia onto the defensive in the fight for league supremacy. For Borussia Dortmund, this defeat is painful, especially in the context of eight structural problems mentioned by the media before the clash, which manifested themselves in decisive moments of the second half. The rivalry between Bayern and Borussia has defined the face of German football for a decade, with the Bavarians more often coming out on top in these clashes since 2013, serially winning championship titles. Beyond the sporting aspect, events in the stands also resonated loudly. Bayern Munich fans remained silent for a significant part of the match as a form of protest against police intervention before the start of the game. The fans accused the security services of unjustified actions that hindered their entry to the stadium. At the same time, the editorial staff of Die Welt drew attention to coach Niko Kovac's controversial squad decision. Bayern's victory puts them in an extremely comfortable position in the table, distancing Borussia from their title dreams. „It was an incredible game, full of fight. I'm happy my goals helped the team at such a crucial point in the season.” — Harry Kane
