Super entertaining game so far. Any idea why there are so many empty seats though?

Great game to watch as a neutral. Both teams are so good at by passing the press and also counter attacking.

Dortmund played decent, but they made some really big errors and Bayern took advantage of it.

Best game I have seen in a while. So entertaining from a neutral point of view.

A very wild game. Both teams with an unusual amount of sloppy mistakes, but Bayern's pressing is much more intense and Dortmund didn't cope well with it, so it's no surprise that Bayern are leading at half time. You expect Meunier to struggle, since he's just not that clam on the ball in general, but there isn't really an excuse for Hummels' performance. Rose said before the match, that like half his team only has the fitness for 60-70 minutes, so this won't get any easier in the second half.

This late into the season that's not really a valid excuse. I'd doubt that statement very much. If they don't have the fitness now, they wouldn't be #2 in the league.
