Borussia Dortmund motivated to face Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker

BVB has a stern test at home this weekend vs. Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund manager Nuri Sahin might be in his first season leading the team, but he is no stranger to this rivalry.

“Dortmund against Bayern is the biggest game in Germany. It’s the most watched game. When I was in Türkiye in the past few years everyone there watched the game as far as the Bundesliga is concerned. It’s a privilege for me to be able to experience it in this role. I had good and bad experiences as a player against Bayern. I’m looking forward to it,” said Sahin (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “The results are there (for Bayern Munich), the way they play football. You can see that he’s quickly having his influence on the team and that they’re a unit on the pitch. He did very good things in Anderlecht and Burnley and he’s now continuing on the same path. He’s a very good coach and was also a leader as a player. I’m happy for him.”

Sahin was among those who heard Uli Hoeneß “promise” that Bayern Munich would win the Bundesliga. That statement of grandeur does not affect Sahin, though.
