Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund go into this fixture 11 points behind their rivals, but know that three points on Saturday would keep their aspirations of a third straight Bundesliga alive. According to legendary Ottmar Hitzfield former coach of both teams, the league will be effectively over and become boring if Bayern open up 14 point gap ahead of Dortmund.


Personally for me, I don't mind if we are 7 point ahead of the 2nd place team going to the winter break, but the thought of losing to Dortmund again scares me, it worries me too much that I become extremely worried, I MEAN SCARED.


This is not about 14 point gap, it's all about pride and confidence, this is a great chance to kill, to send their confidence to smithereens this early in the season .. I hope the players know that, and I hope they still remember the 5-2 trashing of the cup final last year, how humiliating, Don't even want to remember it.

Hopefully 1 team title races are boring

Gündogan will start instead of Kehl, even if he's not 100% fit.

What's the diff between a "key player" and a "player to watch"?

Figure it out

Mate, there is no difference between "key player" and "player to watch". -_-

So what did you achieve now...? Mr I too know..?

xavi did 100% pass completion once if i aint mistaken, he surely wasnt the player to watch before the game was he, but turned out to be the key player for dictating the play

key player can be any1 who will be vital for the match whereas a player to watch fits more the one that deserves your attention cause he will be entertaining,unique,terrific and flashy.

one player can be both though and in this case looks like it, judging from the players chosen by the op


i would say key player Schweini & player to watch mandzukic for bayern
and key player Weidenfeller and player to watch reus for dortmund,
something like that..

You should be satisfied with the draw, it could've been much worse.

my thoughts exactly

BTW, no yellow cards in the match. Both teams have great respect and don't play war, just good football.
