Ribery still going strong at the age of 35.
Mad respect. I don't know how he stays motivated even after all these years

'Der Klassiker' : Bayern München vs. Borussia Dortmund
- Thread starter OutlawGER
- Start date
I wonder when said days ever occur. They are a shadow of their former selves and sad to watch.
I'd be more inclined to think that Dortmund haven't really had much choice in terms of allowing Bayern to 'venture forward' as Bayern are doing this completely at will and without breaking much of a sweat.
Witsel, for all the talk, has been an immense disappointment. WTF did Favre drop Delaney to the bench for?
Reus has been wasteful and poor.
Sancho terrible.
It is, as others have said, a typical Dortmund performance v Bayern.
I really thought they'd give it a go.
Coman/Costa on the wings would have been the future for them for sure. What is the average age of this Bayern team? Seems to be a lot of players in their 30's?
Same as Ronaldo and Messi. The best always want stay the best at top. At this point on his career, only motivation can make it count.
Somewhere around 28 I think. We’ve aged quite a bit and keep losing quality. We’re not well managed right now and our squad is proving it.
Costa is a dick, im glad he's gone.
One difference though is Ribery is still tracking back, at least today. Messi and Ronaldo were moved forward to concentrate on attacking alone
Unlike Ribery, who is a saint amongst sinners.
Can't even be bothered to watch the second half. Horrible football from Dortmund. Bayern haven't been much better but surely deserve the lead
Dortmund have been defending like this all season. Go for "gegenpressing" when there is an opportunity, otherwise drop deep.
Witsel had100% pass acc, 2/2 completed dribbles. It's the players around him who are the problem.
And - again - Favre is not the coach "to give it a go".
Weigl off
Of course they are. Still better than many wingers who regularly play at top clubs currently.
What a stupid penalty to give away.
Penalty BVB - Neur takes Reus out game
Reus scores 1-1
Yes! Great work Sancho.
Only question with the pen - hadn’t Reus just kicked the ball out of play?

That's a dive. Shouldnt be given as a penalty. Neuer clearly pulled his arms away and Reus pushed his legs towards Neuer and fell down.
Reus scores and its 1-1. Unlucky Bayern.

Look at Neuer's stupid fecking face. He's such a colossal wanker.
Definite penalty.
Exactly my thoughts.
Clear pen, no idea what Bayern are crying about
Yeah, no. We won’t agree on that one.
He is. Stupid challenge. Why even bother dive into Reus.
Game on. Am I wrong thinking Neuer looks kind of sluggish/less agile since returning from his injury?
Well said mate
Favre must have borrowed Fergie's hairdryer.
Not sure about that penalty. It was careless and slow from Neuer yes, but Reus knows what's going to happen and he drinks the ball away from the keeper - had Neuer not taken him out, there was no way he was controlling that.
Overall I think it probably should be one, just feels a bit manufactured by Reus.

Reus' passing is great
You’re not. He’s struggling.
BVB's defending there wew.
Lewandowski 1-2
Gotze seems like the weak link
Offside
Poor defending from Dortmund
Wtf? Wasn't Kimmich clearly offside? How did VAR not cancel the goal?
Kimmich was onside because of Zagadou.
Was Kimmich not offside?
Zagadou played them on, no?
