The hosts enjoyed a dream start to Der Klassiker, unsettling an unusually skittish Bayern from the first whistle. Julian Brandt broke the deadlock within the opening five minutes, gathering Jude Bellingham's delicately floated pass inside the penalty area, turning past Alphonso Davies and placing his shot into the top corner.

Brandt's composure only served to prod Bayern into life as the visitors equalised in a frenzied first ten minutes. Thomas Muller embodied the surge of energy through Die Roten as he charged down Mats Hummels, blocking an attempted pass that ballooned into the Dortmund evening sky.

While his teammate held off Dortmund's centre back, Robert Lewandowski sped onto the scene, serenely gathering possession before clinically slotting in the equaliser against his favourite foes and former side.

Both sides scored with the first two shots on target but the volume of chances, if not goals, scarcely dwindled thereafter. Dortmund  effectively bypassed midfield as soon as they recovered possession, time and again setting Erling Haaland thundering towards a ball over the top of Bayern's backline that was often staffed by just the two centre backs starting precariously high. 90min
