The Bundesliga already has an owner. In fact, it is the same as the last decade since Bayern Munich were mathematically proclaimed champion for the tenth consecutive time and 32nd in its history, extending the competition record, after beating Borussia Dortmund, its rival in the match. for the title. in ‘Der Klassiker’ by 3-1.

A league title that will come three days from the end of the championship by increasing its advantage against Dortmund to 12 points and this is the first for its young coach Julian Nagelsmann at the age of 34, but little is known about Bayern, where the season is balanced. will weigh the elimination ten days ago in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Villarreal.

A miniature Dortmund at the mercy of Bayern

Bayern started to be the clear dominator of ‘Der Klassiker’ against a Borussia Dortmund that reduced a lot of casualties (goals Kobel and Bürki, Meunier, Hummels, Dahoud, Witsel, Queen, Thorgan Hazard or Malen among others), none of the attackers and victims of his delivery mistakes before rival pressure in the early stages.

Gnabry scored first

Bayern did not forgive for their first time, rising from a corner pushed back by Leon Goretzka for Serge Gnabry to control with his thigh and, without dropping the ball, connected with an unstoppable volley (15 ‘).

Dortmund, with no resources to get rid of the pressure, were at the mercy of Bayern and only had one approach with some risk from Erling Haaland in the 27th minute after receiving from Julian Brandt, but the Norwegian could not accommodate the body properly and shoot deadly. .

Lewandowski scored his 33rd goal

Bayern’s response was strong with two opponents taking advantage of Dortmund’s defeats. The VAR nullified Gnabry’s goal for offside (30 ‘), but Robert Lewandowski didn’t take long to make it 2-0 (35’).

Dan-Axel Zagadou handed the ball to Joshua Kimmich, who activated the counter by passing it to Thomas Müller and he left Lewandowski alone to put the ball between the legs of now-starter Marwin Hitz . This is Pichichi’s 33rd Bundesliga goal.

Can convert a penalty and give way to another game

Bayern controlled the game, but Kimmich’s penalty after running into Marco Reus from behind changed the decoration. Haaland, who was unconfident after his latest injury, assigned responsibility for the shot to Emre Can (52 ‘) and the fight was even.

Haaland finally found gaps and connected with two consecutive arrivals to Reus that were greatly interrupted by Manuel Neuer and Lucas Hernández. Bavarian doubts were rising and the VAR did not notice Jude Bellingham’s fall in the area before Benjamin Pavard entered the limit (59 ’).

Opportunities for Lewandowski and Haaland

Lewandowski was once again Bayern’s source to not balance ‘Der Klassiker’ but Pole missed his shot too much (57 ‘) and eventually had his shot from close range after a rebound was repelled by a save by Hitz (69 ‘).

Bayern seemed to have regained control but Dortmund reached the last stage of life and it was there that Haaland, though not in his physical strength, again caused uncertainty with two more arrivals. In the second he was able to finish but he hit the ball wrong and it went up (81 ‘).

musiala sentence

Finally, Bayern condemned a bizarre move in which Dortmund re -emerged the defensive fragility that resulted in their cost of the title. Hitz got the first attempt by recently entered Jamal Musiala but Raphael Guerreiro missed the clearance and the young German playmaker, assisted by Marcel Sabitzer, blinked in the second (83 ‘).

Dortmund have still not won the Allianz Arena since 2014 in the Bundesliga but at least now they have fallen with honor after the first half where they are on their way to adding another win to the six in a row they have received in their visits to Munich.
