He played games in the Bundesliga scoring goals. He even won seven Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich. The World Cup winning captain talks about his first game against Borussia Dortmund, legendary moments of Der Klassiker, and the importance of the clash to Bundesliga fans around the world. I prefer to remember the last game of the season in Braunschweig when I became Bundesliga champion for the first time with FC Bayern.

It was a game like any other because Dortmund were not the big rivals back then like they wanted to be or like they were ten years ago when they won the title two years running. They also won a few games against us, but they financially overstretched themselves at the same time. Ottmar Hitzfeld previously won the Champions League with them and in he was our manager at Bayern.

Even the players seemed to go crazy during these games. Heiko Herrlich in the neck. There are a lot of national team players involved with a lot of individual battles, such as Haaland against Lewandowski. There are little stories everywhere you look both on and off the pitch. There are lots of stories and I am looking forward to it," said Lothar Matthaus.

You can win games without Haaland, but you cannot replace a player like him in the long run.
