The full picture
Bayern Munich dominated the statistics in their 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund, with 56% possession, 23 shots, and 4.18 expected goals (xG) compared to Dortmund's 0.63 xG. Bayern also recorded 46 touches in the opposition penalty area and created six big chances, while Dortmund created zero. The match statistics indicate Bayern generated considerable attacking pressure. According to Bavarian Football Works, Bayern's inefficiency in front of goal prevented them from winning.
Despite Bayern's statistical superiority, Dortmund managed to edge them in a few categories, including shots on target (six to five) and committing fewer fouls (six to 11). However, the expected-goals difference tells a more revealing story about the match's balance. Bayern controlled the majority of the proceedings and put Dortmund under sustained pressure, according to the report by Bavarian Football Works.
Bayern will be left thinking about what might have been after failing to turn their statistical superiority into a win, missing four of their six big chances. Dortmund, on the other hand, will be happy to take a point from the Klassiker. Bayern's performance showed promise, but the team will be reminded of the importance of finishing chances, as reported by Bavarian Football Works.

Source context
Bayern Munich may have had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, but the final statistics make one thing abundantly clear—FC Bayern did more than enough to win this Klassiker. Unfortunately, dominating the numbers does not automatically put three points on the Bundesliga table. Bayern finished with 56% possession, 23 shots, and an enormous 4.18 expected goals (xG) compared to Dortmund’s 0.63. That is a staggering difference and a pretty good indication of just how much attacking pressure the Rekordmeister generated throughout the contest. Bayern also recorded 46 touches in the opposition penalty area — nearly double Dortmund’s 25 — and created six big chances compared to zero for BVB.
