Overview
- Bayern were held to a 2-2 draw by Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, leaving the teams level on 18 points with Bayern ahead on goal difference.
- Harry Kane, who presented his Ballon d'Or to the crowd before kick-off, missed a penalty and called the match "a strange night" that "probably wasn't my best performance."
- Kane did set up Dayot Upamecano's goal but otherwise had a rare quiet game after being an unused substitute in midweek.
- Several Bayern players suffered knocks during the physical Klassiker, with reports naming Michael Olise, Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry as being forced off and requiring further checks.
- With a Champions League trip to Atlético Madrid on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Bayern have signalled the need for rotation and fast medical assessments to protect their campaign across competitions.
