From the source
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund head into Saturday's Der Klassiker at the Allianz Arena level on points, with the Bavarians leading the Bundesliga table on goal difference.
Despite their equal standing in the table, German legend Lothar Matthäus believes Bayern Munich are significantly ahead of Borussia Dortmund. As a result, the 65-year-old can understand why Niko Kovac and Borussia Dortmund generally adopt a more defensive approach than the German champions.
“Ultimately, you can certainly play more entertaining football. But for me, success comes first. This team isn’t equipped to play like Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain.
