Locations of the two teams in Germany
Der Klassiker in German (The Classic),[1] also
known as the "German Clásico",[2][3][4] is😄 the name given in football to any match
between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. They are two of the most😄 successful teams
in German football, having won a combined total of 26 of the past 30 Bundesliga titles
as of😄 the 2024–23 season. The two teams fought closely for the Bundesliga title in the
early 2010s, and met in the😄 2013 UEFA Champions League final.
However, the nature of
the rivalry has been called into question, with many disputing the fixture😄 being a
"classic" due to there being little historic rivalry between the teams, in contrast to
the long history of😄 many other prominent football derbies in Germany,[5][6] including
Dortmund's Revierderby with FC Schalke 04, the various Bavarian football derbies
involving😄 Bayern Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg, and the elder 70s rivalry between Bayern
Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
History [ edit ]
First😄 meeting and mutual
successes [ edit ]
The first match between the two clubs was a 2–0 win for Dortmund in
😄 Munich on 16 October 1965.[7][1]
On 5 May 1966, Dortmund won the 1965–66 European Cup
Winners' Cup 2–1 against Liverpool in😄 extra time, becoming the first German club to win
a European title.[8] Bayern Munich won the same competition the following😄 season.
In
1971, Bayern defeated Dortmund 11–1;[9] this remain's Bayern's biggest Bundesliga
victory and Dortmund's second worst defeat.[9] (NB: Dortmund's worst😄 defeat was a 12–0
vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach on 29 April 1978)
On the other hand, the highest scoring
draw in a😄 Bundesliga match between the two teams occurred on 21 May 1983, when
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge scored a late equaliser to save😄 Bayern from a defeat against
hosts Dortmund, with a final scoreline of 4–4.[10]
The feud begins [ edit ]
The rivalry
between😄 the clubs grew during the 1990s,[11] as Dortmund's stature increased to
challenge perennial title favourites Bayern, winning two Bundesliga titles😄 in 1994–95
and 1995–96.
In 1996, Bayern captain Lothar Matthäus accused Germany teammate Andreas
Möller of being a 'crybaby', wiping imaginary😄 tears from his face;[12] Möller reacted
by slapping Matthäus. At the end of that season, Dortmund won the 1997 UEFA😄 Champions
League final which happened to be played at the Olympiastadion, Bayern's home
ground.[9]
The teams met in the quarter-finals of😄 the next edition of the Champions
League, and Dortmund prevailed over two legs thanks to a single goal from Stéphane
😄 Chapuisat. That summer, Bayern hired Dortmund's successful coach Ottmar Hitzfeld to
work for them.[13] Tempers flared twice during Bayern and😄 Dortmund's second meeting in
the 1998–99 Bundesliga, as Bayern goalkeeper Oliver Kahn first attempted a flying
kung-fu kick at Chapuisat,😄 and later appeared to bite Heiko Herrlich's
ear.[14][9][1]
In the early 2000s both clubs remained successful, as Bayern lost one
Champions😄 League final (1999) then won another (2001) in addition to more domestic
success, while Dortmund won the 2001–02 Bundesliga and😄 reached the UEFA Cup final the
same year. An angry 2001 league meeting between the pair was notable for ten😄 yellow
cards and three red being shown (a Bundesliga record for indiscipline).[1] However,
Dortmund soon fell heavily into debt, and😄 a €2m loan from Bayern in 2004 was a major
reason for them being saved from bankruptcy.[1][15]
On 19 April 2008,😄 the two sides
clashed in the 2008 DFB-Pokal Final for the first time that took place in Berlin. Luca
Toni😄 opened the scoring after eleven minutes, but Mladen Petric drew Dortmund level in
stoppage time, forcing thirty additional minutes. The😄 Italian completed his double in
extra time, thus lifting Bayern to cup glory.
Dortmund revival [ edit ]
By 2010,
Dortmund had😄 put together a strong squad, including Mats Hummels, Mario Götze, Shinji
Kagawa and Robert Lewandowski, who led the club to😄 the 2011 and 2012 Bundesliga titles;
it was the first time any club other than Bayern won back-to-back championships since
😄 Dortmund in the mid-1990s. Dortmund clinched the 2011–12 league championship in a home
match where bananas were tossed at Bayern😄 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.[16] Dortmund then
claimed the first double of their history by beating Bayern 5–2 in the 2012 DFB-Pokal
😄 Final with a Lewandowski hat-trick, which was also their fifth consecutive win over the
opponents.[17][18][19]
Champions League final at Wembley [😄 edit ]
After seeing two
league championships heading to Dortmund and losing the 2012 UEFA Champions League
final to Chelsea at😄 their own Allianz Arena, Bayern recovered to clinch the 2012–13
Bundesliga in record time, breaking Dortmund's points record which had😄 been set the
year before. At the end of that season, the rivals met in the 2013 UEFA Champions
League😄 final. The German clubs had eliminated the two Spanish contenders, Real Madrid
and Barcelona,[20][21] leading to the term "German Clasico"😄 term first being used at
that time, based on the El Clásico between those two Spanish clubs. The game was😄 also
notable for the fact that Dortmund's Mario Götze had already agreed to join Bayern in
the coming weeks,[22] although😄 he did not play in the final due to injury.
In the first
all-German European final, Arjen Robben scored a dramatic😄 89th-minute winner at Wembley
Stadium.[23] Bayern would wrap up the first Treble in their history a week later in the
😄 2013 DFB-Pokal Final.[24]
Domestic finals and player moves [ edit ]
Following the
biggest match involving the teams, several domestic finals were😄 played between them in
quick succession. In the 2014 DFB-Pokal final on 17 May 2014, Bayern managed to score
two😄 goals in extra time, thus achieving their 17th win in the competition.[25][26]
After that, both clubs met again in the😄 2014 DFL-Supercup at Dortmund's Signal Iduna
Park, featuring Robert Lewandowski who had just moved to Bayern as a free agent😄 after
his contract with Dortmund ended. The match ended 2–0 to Dortmund.[27]
Two years later,
the 2024 DFB-Pokal Final was the😄 last match in Dortmund shirt for their captain Mats
Hummels before he also moved to Bayern, where his career had😄 begun; Bayern won the
trophy on penalties after a 0–0 draw.[28][29] They clashed again in the 2024
DFL-Supercup after Bayern😄 secured a double, Dortmund being runners-up in the league as
well as beaten cup finalists; the Bavarians won that match😄 2–0.[30] The 2024
DFL-Supercup featured the same teams (champions Bayern and cup holders Dortmund) and
the same outcome, this time😄 Bayern winning on penalties after a 2–2 draw.[31] In March
2024, Bayern secured a 6–0 home win over Dortmund in😄 the league, the largest margin of
victory for either side since the 11–1 result 47 years earlier.[32] The most important
😄 recent result has seen Bayern Munich defeat Borussia Dortmund by a score of 3–1 in the
2024 DFL-Supercup.[33]
