FC Bayern did not get the job done.

Bayern Munich left to think about what might’ve been after 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich suffered a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in a highly competitive Klassiker match, but the final score belies the statistical dominance Bayern displayed throughout. The home team finished with 56% possession, 23 shots, and an impressive 4.18 expected goals (xG), compared to Dortmund's measly 0.63 xG. This massive gap in expected goals highlights just how much pressure Bayern applied to the competition.

Bayern also dominated in terms of touches in the opponent's penalty area, recording 46 compared to Dortmund's 25. Additionally, Bayern created six significant chances to goal, whereas BVB managed none. In other words, Dortmund created zero big chances. However, the frustration for Bayern lies in the fact that they missed four of their six significant opportunities, preventing them from converting their statistical superiority into a decisive victory.
