The heartbeat of Borussia Dortmund's creativity remains Julian Brandt. When Brandt finds space between the lines, Borussia Dortmund's attack comes alive. His ability to receive on the half-turn, combine quickly, and slip runners into dangerous channels makes him a constant problem. If Bayern Munich's midfield press lacks coordination for even a moment, Brandt has the vision to punish it instantly.

Bayern Munich's attack, thanks to the trio of Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise, has been grabbing all the headlines. Add a fully fit Jamal Musiala to the mix and you'll hear defenders' teeth clattering before their boots hit the pitch. However, fully fit is the key phrase here. Since his return, Musiala has racked up a total of eight appearances across all competitions, assisting two and scoring one in the process.

It's not advisable to talk about all possible scenarios that could arise. In all the games since Manu retired, we haven't had a goalkeeping problem. In football, things can always happen that require certain measures. As of today, that is not the case. I cannot predict what the future holds. I'm in contact with Manuel Neuer.

During Bayern Munich's first goal, star striker Harry Kane gave Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy a subtle ( or maybe not so subtle) nudge to clear some space and get his head on Joshua Kimmich's corner for a goal and a 1-0 lead. The Bavarians would eventually pull out a tough 2-1 victory, but BVB boss Niko Kovač says that given the way the game was officiated, the goal should have been waved off.

🚨❌ Rumours linking Liverpool with Nico #Schlotterbeck are wide of the mark. There are no concrete plans regarding a #LFC move for Schlotterbeck in the next two windows. Borussia Dortmund want to extend beyond 2027. FC Bayern interested. Top defender. #BVB If Liverpool truly is out, the only other clubs aside of Bayern Munich who have been linked to Schlotterbeck are FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Those reports, however, could be described as extremely loose.

Bayern Munich is starting to really hit the rough-and-tumble portion of its first half schedule and Der Klassiker is at the forefront of it all. Sure, Bayern Munich passed its test against Eintracht Frankfurt before the last international break, but Bundesliga matches against Bayer Leverkusen and SC Freiburg, Champions League games vs. Club Brugge, Paris Saint-Germain, and Arsenal, plus a DFB-Pokal tilt vs. FC Köln all are on tap before the end of November.
