Bayern earn 2-2 draw against Dortmund in topsy-turvy Klassiker
MUNICH Germany, April 12 (Reuters) - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund each scored twice in a rollercoaster second half for an entertaining 2-2 draw in the Klassiker on Saturday that kept the Bavarians six points clear at the top with five games left. Bayern have 69 points ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who earlier drew 0-0 at home to Union Berlin. Bayern, who visit Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-final return leg on Wednesday after last week's 2-1 loss, struck in the 65th minute through substitute Raphael Guerreiro to cancel out Maximilian Beier's 48th minute opener. Fellow substitute Serge Gnabry then scored four minutes later after a sensational 35-metre solo run but Dortmund's Waldemar Anton slotted home on the rebound in the 75th to level. Dortmund, who host Barcelona next week in their Champions League quarter-final second leg after a 4-0 loss on Wednesday, are in eighth place on 42 points, six points off the top four.

Bayern Munich Injury Crisis Worsens Ahead Of Inter Milan Champions League Showdown – Portugal & Germany Stars In Doubt
Bayern Munich Injury Crisis Worsens Ahead Of Inter Milan Champions League Showdown – Portugal & Germany Stars In Doubt Raphael Guerreiro and Leon Goretzka are major fitness doubts for Bayern Munich against Inter Milan in the Champions League. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Bayern Munich host Inter Milan in the Champions League in a little under a week's time. And Bayern coach Vincent Kompany will have some massive injury issues to deal with. The German giants lost the likes of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano to knee injuries during the international break. That deprives Bayern of two of their first-choice back four. Then, Japanese international Hiroki Ito joined those players on the sidelines. That has further deprived Kompany of defensive options. Ito has played both at centre-back and full-back for Bayern this season. Guerreiro & Goretzka Doubts For Bayern Ahead Of Inter Champions League Clash LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – MARCH 11: Leon Goretzka of Bayern Muenchen reacts during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 second leg match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Bayern München at on March 11, 2025 in Leverkusen, Germany. (Photo by) And things have only gone from bad to worse for Bayern. Advertisement Yesterday, former Borussia Dortmund full-back Raphael Guerreiro pulled out of training. Therefore, there is significant doubt that the 31-year-old Portuguese international will be fit for next Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Inter Milan. With all of Davies, Ito, and Guerreiro absent, Kompany would have little choice but to play Josip Stanisic out of position against Inter. Then, there is another injury issue in midfield for Bayern, reports the Gazzetta. It is very doubtful that former Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka will be ready to return against Inter, having been forced off at halftime in a win over St. Pauli over the weekend.

Ten-man Bayern waste two-goal lead in shock loss to visitors Bochum
MUNICH, Germany, March 8 (Reuters) - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich threw away a two-goal lead to slump to a 3-2 loss to visitors VfL Bochum on Saturday in a disappointing dress rehearsal ahead of next week's Champions League return leg against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern remain on 61 points and stay eight points clear of second-placed Leverkusen, who lost 2-0 at home to Werder Bremen. Τhe Bavarians, who beat Leverkusen 3-0 in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie on Wednesday, paid the price for Vincent Kompany's decision to rotate 10 players from the Leverkusen game with his side's first home Bundesliga defeat this season. Bayern had looked to be cruising to a comfortable win after Raphael Guerreiro struck twice in 14 minutes to put them 2-0 up by the 28th minute. The Portuguese first pounced on a loose ball in the box to fire home in the 14th minute and doubled the lead after Bayern had missed a 22nd-minute penalty through Serge Gnabry, with top scorer Harry Kane initially on the bench. Gnabry's missed spot kick was the first after 16 consecutive successful penalties from the Bavarians. Bochum, however, cut the deficit three minutes later, with Jakov Medic drilling in. Things got worse for Bayern when Joao Palhinha was sent off two minutes before the break after a rough tackle and Bochum made the extra man count when Ibrahima Sissoko headed in a 51st-minute equaliser. The visitors completed their stunning comeback in the 71st when Matus Bero slipped into the box and beat Bayern's third-choice keeper Jonas Urbig, making his Bundesliga debut. Bochum counterpart Timo Horn made the save of the match in the 79th, tipping a point-blank Jamal Musiala header onto the crossbar.
