About the Der Klassiker
Bayern Munich and Dortmund have traded places as Germany's superpower clubs since Dortmund's back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012. Bayern's response was relentless: eleven consecutive titles followed. Yet Dortmund remain genuine rivals, reaching the Champions League final in 2013 (losing to Bayern in Wembley) and again in 2024. The rivalry defines German football and produces some of Europe's most-watched regular-season club matches.
