Goalkeeper as a statue: Gnabry sent the ball to the second post for Bayern's 1-0 lead over Dortmund.

Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund: the preview

Bayern Munich will be champions of the domestic tournament if they beat the 'Yellow Gale' in this edition of the 'Klassiker'. In that case, Julian Nagelsmann's team would add 12 points with nine left to play and thus win the tenth consecutive trophy of the tournament.

Another result will only delay Bayern's almost certain conquest. The Munich team has 72 points compared to BVB's 63. Until the end of the championship, if they lose the derby, Nagelsmann's team, who confirmed Robert Lewandowski, can obtain the trophy with Mainz, Stuttgart, or Wolfsburg.

It all started with a corner kick for the home team. Joshua Kimmich arrived on that side of the field, raising his arm to signal his teammates. The midfielder's cross came to the second post. In that area, Leon Goretzka won the header to send the ball out.

That impact from the 'Bavarians' midfielder was controlled with the leg by Serge Gnabry and that was his first touch. The second one, with the same leg, was crucial for the ball to travel over the furthest post of Borussia Dortmund. Thus, goalkeeper Marwin Hitz was left as a statue and did not prevent Bayern Munich's 1-0.

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund, in what would be Erling Haaland's last classic, reported a long list of injured players. Mats Hummels, Donyell Malen, Mahmoud Dahoud, Thomas Meunier, Thorgan Hazard, Giovanni Reyna, Gregor Kobel, and Axel Witsel are not available.
