What impressed you most about BVB's win over Bayern? 🌟

[solomonskiibii]

Borussia Dortmund is something else this season they’re on fire 🔥

[xxnubslayerxxthedestroyer]

Dortmund have really pulled it together this season. They are 🔥🔥🔥 especially with Reus, Alcacer and Sancho-oo-oo-oo tearing it up

[BLOODY_PAWZ]

The key to Dortmund's success is that they needed to work together with the support from every member of the Yellow Wall helping them stay strong as a big family by putting on the biggest magic show of all time in order to defeat Bavaria with excellent resilience comes greater responsibility and accountability also Coach Favre got Captain Reus and Paco-Man to make Der Klassiker as a close match to have BVB as the sole super team.

Dortmund everyone outside of Germany is cheering for you. Bayern have had it way too easy every year since 2012. I hope you win the league - Arsenal fan.

I hate how whenever Neur concedes he always puts his hand up trying to call for something even tho nothing happened

[matth.]

To be fair, it wasn't exactly a walk in the park...

One major part missing in the video impact of Mo dahoud to get rid of pressing

The comeback Dortmund made in the second half was great with the plan working to defeat Bayern

That pass from witsel was inch perfect 👍

[kaustubhdatta]

Dortmund being Dortmund can challenge any top team this season. Playing to their core

[saviogonsalves]

Their willingness to to learn from their mistakes in the first half and to adapt a more direct approach was the key. Sancho's transformation from 1st half to the 2nd half speaks for itself on how the whole Dortmund team transpired. Favre had an ace up his sleeve in the form of Alcacer.

Dortmund always has an amazing season but can they do this for multiple years and dominate Germany 🇩🇪

[GimmePaypalKid]

Bundesliga Youtube makes such quality videos, never see this kind of stuff in the EPL

Best game i've watched in a long time

[alarfastkhan]

👌👌🏅🏅Dortmund is my favorite team in Germany And I hate Bayern Munich

[mydogvlad]

Their ability to come from behind is what impressed me the most

[Shurukkah.]

The answer is simple Dortmund weathered heavy press from Bayern and then dismantled them on physical exhaustion.
