Bayern Munich 6-0 Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich are one win away from retaining the Bundesliga after humiliating rivals Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday evening.

Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick against his former side, while Thomas Muller, James Rodriguez and Franck Ribery also scored.

Dortmund had no answer but remain third in the table - 21 points behind Bayern.

Jupp Heynckes can win his fourth Bayern title against Augsburg next Saturday - 29 years after his first.

The 72-year-old has already won five major honours in his three spells in charge of Bayern, and will have an eye on a second Champions League trophy with a quarter-final against Sevilla on Tuesday night.

Second-placed Schalke's win against Freiburg earlier on Saturday meant that Heynckes' side could not seal their sixth straight title at home against their biggest recent rivals.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund — It was the first time that Dortmund had conceded five first-half Bundesliga goals since 1978 - when they lost 12-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach.

But they were rampant regardless, scoring five times in the first half to underline their dominance of German football.

Lewandowski - linked with a move to Real Madrid again this week - took just five minutes to put the champions elect ahead when he buried Muller's pass.

Ribery had a goal disallowed for offside before James steered in David Alaba's cutback. The game was as good as over when Muller volleyed the third in the 23rd minute, but there was still time for Lewandowski and Ribery to both profit from some hesitant Dortmund defending to score before half time.

As is so often the case, the second half was largely a non-event, although Dortmund forward Mario Gotze did hit the post.

And Lewandowski completed his treble with two minutes left, another tap-in after Roman Burki could not hold Josh Kimmich's cross.

Must be terrible to have the richest team walk the league by spending more money than anyone else. Glad it's not like that in England, oh wait, France ?, Spain ?, Italy?. Really exciting this top level football.
I've followed Dortmund for over 25 from afar, a great club and the best fans in Germany, with the best stadium too. But what a shame that Bayern have so much muscle, they just sign the best players from other clubs in Germany and that leads to this situation.
Dortmund have been rather poor for some time, Munich will be a match for anyone in the CL.
It must be boring in Germany knowing that Bayern will probably win the league each season. In fact, look at the European leagues and see how many of them are now dominated just a small handful of teams. German, France, Scotland for starters. It makes the Premiership almost interesting.
It would be interesting to see Man City competing against this Bayern. Two great attacking teams - fireworks guaranteed. Not sure who is the favourite though...
Brilliant
World class beatdown,...Mueller had 2 assists and one goal by the 23rd minute,.lol
Another close run title race again then.
Lewandowski
"Bayern Munich are one win away from retaining the Bundesliga after humiliating rivals Borussia Dortmund..."

Ruthless professionals.
The result the empty marketing to make this the equivalent of El Clasico deserved. Dortmund are neither Bayern's biggest historical or even current title threat - as they are on course for only one top 2 finish in 4 years. For BVB fans it is the collapse vs Schalke that will haunt them for years to come.

@11
Players in the starting XI poached from other German clubs:
Bayern - 3
Dortmund - 7
Man City, Bayern or Barca for Champions League, surely? A cut above the rest.
Too fast. Too furious.
@4

So you're a Real Madrid fan now? Do you have a different team for each day of the week you shill?
For all those crying about Bayern’s dominance/ financial muscle
Wolfsburg backed by Volkswagen
Leverkusen backer by bayer
RB Red Bull
Hoffenheim backed by a software billionaire
And poor old Dortmund have plenty of money to spend
We nearly broke ourselves to sign Ribery in 07 when we were all equal we pushed on but the rest soil themselves at the thought of spending money! So 😝
Dortmund have been terrible all season and anyone half adequate saw this coming from a mile away when you saw the starting rosters.
Barca. Bayern. Madrid. Man city and even Liverpool. The best attacking teams competing in the champions league. Should be interesting
I have far more to say about Grimsby and Aberystwyth Town than a monopolising rich foreign team that cheats it's way to titles & wealth.

The BBC, serving the world, neglecting it's civil duty.

British values? Ha!
Love Bayern, first half they were scary goodness me. I think only Real Madrid can stop them from winning the champions league!
Delighted to see Bayern mauling the hipster club Dortmund. Wonder if the 'big Dortmund fans' from 2012/13 still support them? Haha.

Anyways Bayern better get used to seeing a team mauled. It will be their turn soon at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League. HALA MADRID.
