This milestone “shows Marco Reus’ importance not only this season, but in recent years too,” said coach Edin Terzic on Friday. The fans in the stands feted the attacking player with prolonged applause and chants.

In front of a sold-out crowd of 81,365 at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, BVB were not at the races at all in the opening stages, as Bayern stormed to a 2-0 lead within eight minutes thanks to goals from Upamecano and Kane. Borussia Dortmund had a few chances to pull one back, but Kane’s second in the 72nd minute sealed all three points for the visitors from Munich. In stoppage time, the Englishman scored a third goal to bring the final score to 4-0.

Gregor Kobel: “I had the sense that Bayern were more aggressive in the tackles and more dangerous on the counter-attack. We should have been better in defence. Bayern were given too much space. They posed more of a threat and they came out more aggressively at the start of the game. We should have kept a more compact shape early on and looked to hit them on the counter. We have to step up to these challenges. We wanted to deliver a better performance at home in this game. The better team won.”

BVB suffered a serious loss this week, as captain Filippo Mane suffered a serious knee injury in the 4-0 win over Fortuna Düsseldorf and will be out of action for a long time. “We can’t replace a top player like him. Filippo is our most important guy,” says coach Mike Tullberg. Tyler Meiser, the 16-year-old centre-back talent who was set to be carefully introduced to the U19s, now has to step up to replace the defensive talisman. Rafael Lubach took the captain’s armband and, to add insult to injury, was shown a red card in the 79th minute for excessive complaining.

After facing SV Sandhausen last weekend, Jan Zimmermann’s team now prepare to go toe-to-toe with another heavyweight opponent with Bundesliga 2 experience. Ingolstadt spent many years in the second tier and even played in the Bundesliga from 2015 to 2017. However, they dropped down to the 3. Liga in 2022. 

Outlook: Both teams remain undefeated this season. Bayern have started with seven wins and two draws and are in second place with 23 points; two points and two places behind them are BVB (six wins, three draws), who would leapfrog the Bavarians with a win.

The personnel situation in the Black & Yellow squad is good ahead of the headline fixture of the tenth matchday of the Bundesliga season. Marius Wolf, who was forced off against Hoffenheim due to injury, is expected to be able to take part in the final training session on Friday. Captain Emre Can has been absent for the last two games, but was on the pitch on Thursday and has been working hard individually and on his fitness. “The aim is for him to train with the team on Friday. He’s been out for ten days now, so it would be good if he could take part in the session without any problems,” said Terzic regarding the only potential absentee in the Dortmund squad.
