Dortmund Dismantle Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker
Borussia Dortmund handed Bayern Munich a humbling 3-0 defeat at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, continuing the champions’ post-title slump. Since sealing the Bundesliga title three games ago, Pep Guardiola’s side have yet to taste victory, with this defeat their second in succession.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were in control from start to finish in this high-stakes edition of Der Klassiker. The visitors opened the scoring early through Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who capitalized on a lapse in Bayern’s defense. Dortmund doubled their lead before halftime when Marco Reus finished off a move assisted by Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was a constant threat on the break.
In the second half, Dortmund sealed the emphatic win as Jonas Hofmann netted the third goal, rounding off a counterattack that exposed Bayern’s disorganized defense. The result marks Dortmund’s third victory in Munich in the past four seasons — a clear sign that they remain a major force despite Bayern’s domestic dominance.
The defeat is a blow to Bayern’s momentum ahead of the Champions League semifinals, with questions now swirling around their focus and form post-title celebration.
