Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund in the fixture known as Der Klassiker at Allianz Arena on April 23 in a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash.

The players are in the tunnel, and both sets of fans are building the cacophony to a crescendo. Lewandowski has had a touch just outside the visitors' penalty area in a central position, only managing to poke the ball out of his control. 50 mins to KO: The 106th Bundesliga meeting between these sides sees Bayern on the brink of a record-extending 31st domestic league title. 8th min.: This has been a quiet start to the game, albeit with plenty of slick passing. There was a touch of fortune about Gnabry slotting in from the right side of the penalty area there, as Dortmund thought they had thwarted a Bayern attack from the opposite flank, only to see the ball roll through to the livewire. Ruthless Bayern pounced after Dortmund lost possession in a dangerous area through Zagadou, affording Muller the chance to locate Lewandowski on the right of the penalty area. 10th min.: Bayern are having the better of possession now, advancing unsuccessfully into the penalty area on several occasions. Kimmich swings in the corner from the right, where a Bayern head nods it back to Gnabry. The winger controls it on his knee just outside the penalty area and slightly to the left of centre, then rockets a volley into the right-hand corner of the helpless Hitz's net. The pass is a little overhit, although Reus still manages to send in a low shot on the angle which the advancing Neuer scrambles to stop with his legs. 45th min.: The hosts deal with a few Dortmund attempts to move forward. 61st min.: Zagadou shows his alertness to block a cross from the left with Lewandowski lurking in front of goal. 58th min.: More promising for Bayern! The would-be champions have withstood something of a storm during this second half, shipping a goal for their troubles.

The German juggernaut has done it again, adding to its domestic dynasty with another Bundesliga trophy.

But the one constant for Bayern over most of the last decade has been the stellar play of Lewandowski. After a legendary season where he broke Gerd Müller’s longtime Bundesliga single-season goalscoring record, Lewandowski returned with another incredible campaign. All eyes move toward his future now, with reports swirling of a potential exit—Barcelona has been reported as a possible destination—despite club officials saying publicly that they have no desire to move him along. Lewandowski was also awarded with The Best FIFA Men’s Player award for 2021 but lost the Ballon d’Or to Lionel Messi, who said Lewandowski deserved one himself. Its goal differential (+62) is nearly twice as high as that of the next-best club, RB Leipzig (+33). Still, there is plenty to build upon after disappointing exits from its biggest cup competitions. Before the season, longtime chief executive officer Karl-Heinz Rummenigge retired after 30 years in an executive role with the club. After Rummenigge took over as chief executive in 2002, the club tallied 14 Bundesliga and 10 DFB-Pokal trophies along with two Champions League titles.
