#1 Klopps final Der Klassiker ends on a sweet note

Having announced his departure at the end of the season, this German Klassiker at Allianz Arena was the last time Dortmund gaffe Jurgen Klopp led the Yellow Brigade against their mighty rivals from Bavaria. A win, though, was never on the cards considering Bayern’s regained supremacy.

However Dortmund, who have endured a misery-laden season this term, pulled off an absolute shocker when they ousted Bayern in their own backyard.

Former BVB hero Robert Lewandowski put the home side ahead early in the first half with a nonchalant finish from a tight angle. Bayern dominated the game throughout and were heading comfortably for a 4th successive league cup final until Aubameyang glided inside the penalty area to nestle the ball home. Bayern continued to hold sway over Dortmund and despite getting reduced to 10-man in the extra time, Dortmund held their nerves and took the game for a penalty shootout.

While Gundogen and Kehl were on target for the visitors, the home side astonishingly failed to convert even one of their 4 attempts and all the dreams of equating the treble of 2013, were shattered to smithereens. This was Klopp’s final Klassiker as a BVB’s manager and thank heavens, it ended on a sweet note.
