The Bundesliga classic between Dortmund and Bayern casts its shadow ahead. While the match is significant for the Munich team, it is ultimately just one of many top matches these days, Lars Ricken declared the game the game of the season. In fact, given the constellation in the various competitions, BVB has significantly more at stake in this encounter than FC Bayern. This perhaps also explains why the bold announcements this time come more from BVB.
In addition to Lars Ricken, who announced a victory at the general meeting with the words “we are five points ahead of Bayern in the home table” and “we will win, we want to win”, Marco Reus has now also sworn in his ex-colleagues. “Wins against Bayern obviously give you a push that can carry you for weeks,” the former BVB captain revealed to the Sports picture and remembered his own highlight moments against Munich.
“Every goal triggers feelings of happiness, but of course there are different levels of escalation. If you hit the ball optimally and directly in front of the south, then there are very few things that are more beautiful,” Reus suggested to the BVB players to try it yourself with a goal against Bayern.
Reus can look back on a total of twelve competitive goals against FC Bayern, nine of which he scored in a BVB jersey. However, he wasn’t able to achieve many successes with the black and yellow team against Munich. In 30 competitive games, Reus suffered 20 defeats and was only able to win seven times and draw three times.
It will be interesting to see whether Borussia will do better in the post-Reus era. It is more likely that the club will miss the long-time offensive star, especially against teams like Bayern. Reus was definitely one of the most dangerous opponents for the German record champions during his BVB career.
