Bayern Munich thrash Borussia Dortmund 5-1

A rare Friday fixture following the break at Tuchel’s previous club, Mainz 05, will be a first indication of the progress Dortmund have made in their problem areas.

The answer is: It would drive the waiters mad as there would be no space to serve the food, reports Xinhua. It is a pattern that has hurt Dortmund, who struggled last season but have started strongly under new coach Thomas Tuchel.

“Everybody wants to play in games like these”. Both admire each other.

With an eye on Sunday’s game, Dortmund was resting key players against Greek side PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday. However, one of Bayern’s many qualities (and Guardiola’s) is to find answers on a restaurant tables and on the pitch.

Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern have been in a gloomy mood following the embarrassing defeat to Arsenal- and they’re not happy to see their woes continue off the field. He even accepts long passes over 50 metres.

But to call Bayern Munich “dominant” so far in the 2015/2016 Bundesliga season would be a considerable understatement.

Despite another two goals by Robert Lewandowski (who has now scored 12 goals in four games) and two goals by Thomas Muller (one from the penalty spot), the celebrated player was a defender.

However, all their hopes of a comeback were diminished 30 seconds into the second half as former Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski struck his first goal of the night after latching on to a sweeping pass by Jerome Boateng.

“They have a lot of good players, they are all fast, and it’s hard to commit tactical fouls against them”. Arjen Robben could make his return after recovering from a muscle injury.

Pep Guardiola’s men are the only unbeaten team in Germany, having won all their games with a stunning goal difference of 24 (28 goals for and four against).

Boateng’s unique ball playing ability has added further potency to the already flourishing Bayern Munich frontline. For Dortmund’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke it will take several years to catch up with Bayern. We beat them in the cup past year.

Bayern Munich’s next two Champions League matches are against Arsenal, who suffered a shock 3-2 loss at home to Olympiakos. Then the gap opened.

Their Bundesliga rivals are waving the white flag for the fourth season in a row, but fear of more Champions League failure is driving Bayern Munich on in Germany.

After beating the side many had predicted would be Bayern’s biggest title rivals this season – Wolfsburg – 5-1 last month, another convincing victory against an apparent contender is a sign that the record German champions are again in a league of their own, according to Muller.
