Classic German football between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich ended in a 0: 0, and thus the difference between the two teams at the top of the Bundesliga to retain 5 points.
As if suddenly agenda was intrigue for the title remains, unfortunately Pep Guardiola and his boys. The Spaniard is determined to record an absolute record as Bayern brought an unprecedented fourth consecutive title. But that did not seem excited as fans of Bayern. The big goal for them is clear - triumph in the Champions League. And no matter how hard the contrary, it is clear that the mere Guardiola also desperate to reach success with the German colossus in the most prestigious European club tournament - success that totally would have established itself as one of the greatest coaches in history and would do his stay at Bayern phenomenal.
But how exactly the current intrigue in the Bundesliga could be big plus for Bayern in Europe?
At this time of the campaign in the last two seasons Bayern was in exceptional form and waded all its rivals, for which the team was considered a super favorite in the Champions League.
But the biggest problem came from a lack of real competition in the Bundesliga. Somewhere around quarterfinals of the Champions League, Bayern had already secured the title in Germany, which invariably led to a sharp drop in form and subsequently real pears in the semi-finals of the European tournament respectively by Barcelona last season and Real Madrid two years ago.
Brief indicates that at this point of the championship (after the 25th round) a year ago Bayern led by as much as 11 points ahead of second Wolfsburg and in 2014 the advance was mind-boggling - 23 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund.
A consolation and lack of real matches, accompanied by injuries in key moments led to huge disappointments for Neuer and company.
Now the situation is different. Bayern again leader, but five points ahead of Dortmund will certainly not allow the German colossus to relax in matches of championship.
Tales that Pep Guardiola hardly thinks about his next team Manchester City, are total nonsense. Even the players themselves admitted that since he announced the decision about his future, Guardiola seemed to look even more determined to achieve success with Bayern. Reference: rarely seen lecture youngster Yosu Kimi got more on the pitch after the match against Dortmund, such passion can be demonstrated only person who knows what he wants.
While Bayern continued to play convincingly, it seems the team has not yet reached his best form. Guardiola probably learned his lesson from the last two years and does not intend to repeat semifinal disappointments.
The first step, however, will be light - Bayern must deal with Juventus in the second leg, and then everything will depend on the current form of the big teams.
The aim is clear - the final in Milan. Be sure that Pep will give everything to reach the match for the trophy. The battle in the Bundesliga will help him in this mission.
