After the missed a big step to the 34th championship title in the Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern professionals around captain Thomas Müller stood at their own fans.
Three hours after the 0-0 template of pursuer Bayer Leverkusen against 1. FC Union Berlin, the Munich team had to be satisfied with a draw in their own stadium in their own stadium.
The lead of the German football record champion is still six points five game days before the end of the season. “In the end, the effectiveness was not the one we imagine. It was a game of the missed possibilities,” said Müller at Sky. But one could not say that the energy was missing. And it was “a great game” for the audience.
The German Clásico only took up after the break – and that was primarily due to BVB. Three days after the 0: 4-chicken in the Champions League at FC Barcelona, the guests showed a reaction and suddenly led through a header by Maximilian Beier (48th minute).
Bavaria’s joker sting
Bayern struck through the substitute Raphaël Guerreiro (65th) and Serge Gnabry (69th). But the BVB team from ex-Bavaria coach Niko Kovac showed great morals in front of 75,000 spectators in the Allianz Arena. Defender Waldemar successfully dusted to 2: 2 (75th). “The team felt packed in honor,” said Dortmund’s managing director Lars Ricken at Sky about the reaction to Barcelona.
For Bayern, the course of the game and the result was another damper before the Champions League second leg next Wednesday at Inter Milan. They had lost the quarter-final first leg 1-2 at home.
The BVB missed an important victory in the fight for a European Cupplatz, but showed that it did not give up. “We are still the hunter,” said Ricken combative. The guests, whose best goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was, was lucky that the ball hit the crossbar in a rescue operation by defender Anton (56.). On Tuesday, however, it goes to the royal class secondary against Barcelona.
Müller as an asset
After Müller’s Joker use with goal against Inter, coach Vincent Kompany put the outgoing Bayern legend in the starting eleven this time. “Simply because Thomas always brings something,” as the Belgian at Sky explained before the kick -off.
Müller was actually an asset. The 35-year-old was traveling a lot, appeared as a template as a 1-1 positive and also shot with the right and left. But overall, the Munich offensive game lacked sharpness and effectiveness. Before the break, Josip Stanisic gave the 1-0 (35th) freely from five meters. In addition, Michael Olise (40th) and Harry Kane failed in added time on the well -reactive goblin.
BVB leadership comes as a surprise
Kovac had asked for more mentality, more willingness to run, more cohesion and compact as a compact after the disaster in Barcelona. That is why Captain Emre Can and his colleagues tried their way. After the break suddenly went a little forward.
Beier’s goal gave the game a real energy boost. Borussia suddenly developed a belief in victory. In particular, the substitute Gnabry briefly brought Bayern back to victory course. The BVB struck back./KBE/DP/ZB
Kehl zu Hummels: ‘Everyone knows how much we appreciate Mats’
Sports director Sebastian Kehl did not specify the mind games about a possible short comeback V at the Club World Cup in the USA in the USA. “Everyone knows how much we appreciate Mats. I know what it can do, what the club means to him. But we would like to concentrate on the sporting things that are now queuing,” said Kehl after BVB’s 2: 2 in Bundesliga classic at Bayern Munich.
The 45-year-old Kehl liked the big and emotional topic of Hummels before the quarter-final second leg of the Dortmund in the soccer king class against FC Barcelona next Tuesday. “To be honest, we didn’t deal with this topic very much these days,” he assured on Saturday evening in the Munich Arena.
Kehl: If it becomes an issue …
“We have not currently made this topic on our topic. If it becomes one, we will communicate and discuss it accordingly,” said Kehl.
The 36 -year -old Hummels is currently playing at AS Rome and recently announced its end of his career in summer. The BVB plan to sign it as a standby professional for the club World Cup from June 15 to July 13 in the USA is said to be interested. As the background, the continued great connection of the defense player is given with his ex-club.
In view of the long-term failure of national defender Nico Schlotterbeck, the BVB leadership should consider a short-term obligation by Hummels after the long-term failure of national defender Nico Schlotterbeck.
