Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich History

The first meeting between these teams came in the 1965/66 Bundesliga season, two years after the German top flight had undergone a reboot. Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have gone on to become the two most successful football clubs in Germany, accounting for more than half of the 60+ Bundesliga titles to date.

Bayern are, by some distance, the most decorated club in the land. The Bavarian giants clinched the Bundesliga title for a record-extending 33rd time in 2023, of which all but one have come since 1969. BVB, meanwhile, celebrated an eighth league crown in 2012, but have failed to add to their collection since then.

Both of these German heavyweights have previous successes in Europe to look back upon. Bayern have reached the pinnacle of European football on no fewer than six occasions, of which the first three occurred during the European Cup era. Die Roten claimed UEFA Champions League glory in 2001, 2013, and 2020, while Dortmund won this prize for the first time in 1997.

Dortmund and Bayern contested the UEFA Champions League final in 2013. Arjen Robben scored the winning goal as the Bavarians ran out 2-1 winners at Wembley Stadium, making amends for their shortcomings against Chelsea 12 months prior.

Bayern vs Dortmund Stats and Mutual Connections

Particularly in recent times, several players have moved directly from Dortmund to Bayern. These names include:

• Mario Götze moved to Dortmund in 2001, aged 8, and developed through the ranks until making his first-team debut in November 2009. Götze's potential was unleashed under the tutelage of manager Jürgen Klopp, leading to the attacking midfielder switching to Bayern in 2013 when the Bavarian giants triggered his €37m release clause. Unfortunately, Götze didn't quite live up to expectations at Bayern and he subsequently made a return to Dortmund in 2016.

• Robert Lewandowski played 187 times for Dortmund before signing for Bayern on a free transfer in 2014. The Poland striker subsequently scored 344 goals in 375 games for Die Roten, including 27 goals in 26 matches against his former club.

• Raphael Guerreiro played 224 times for Dortmund during his seven-year stay at the club. The Portugal left-back completed a free transfer to Bayern in the summer of 2023.

Others who have also worn the colours of both these teams include Germany internationals Mats Hummels, Emre Can, and Niklas Süle, as well as Austria midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head

There've been more than 125 instalments of this great rivalry, many of which have been memorable encounters.

Bayern ran out 5-1 winners on their visit to the Westfalenstadion in the 2009/10 season. Mats Hummels had put the hosts in the lead before Mario Gómez restored parity for the Bavarians. Four second-half goals gave the visitors much to cheer about, with Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribéry, and Thomas Müller (2) all on the scoresheet.

Mario Götze opened the scoring on his first return to Signal Iduna Park after joining Bayern in the summer of 2013. Götze, Müller, and Arjen Robben found the back of the net as Dortmund suffered a 3-0 home defeat to their bitter rivals.

BVB picked up a precious victory over Bayern in November 2018. Robert Lewandowski twice put Bayern in front, only for Marco Reus to cancel out both strikes by his former teammate. Spanish striker Paco Alcácer scored the winning goal to send the home faithful into a state of euphoria.

This fixture produced another five-goal thriller during the 2021/22 Bundesliga campaign. Dortmund took an early lead through Julian Brandt, only for Lewandowski to equalise shortly after. Kingsley Coman netted to give Bayern a half-time advantage, but Erling Haaland pegged BVB level after the break. Lewandowski converted a penalty with less than 15 minutes remaining to seal the win for Bayern.
