The importance of Der Klassiker cannot be understated. The Clash of the Titans, if you may, of German football happens to be the face-off between the two most decorated teams of the Bundesliga. Every year the title race is decided by whether Bayern Munich manage to win against Borussia Dortmund and the game becomes even more special if it is away at the Signal Iduna Park. Away games at Dortmund are always difficult and every win there hence becomes a well-deserved one.
No one understands this better
than Jonathan Tah, who strongly emphasizes that the win was deserved. In an interview following Bayern’s 3-2 win, Tah praised the game’s intensity. “We obviously knew it was a very important game. It was an intense match, with both teams giving their all on the pitch,” the former Leverkusen man said, per @iMiaSanMia.
“In the end, it all came down to mentality and team spirit. We showed that team spirit on the pitch today, and we kept pushing until the end,” he added, citing the role team spirit played against Dortmund. It is particularly noteworthy that both Tah and his companion Dayot Upamecano had a very solid game and held the defense together for the most part. It is perhaps fitting that he spoke on team spirit — for he exemplified it.
“I think it (the win) was deserved,” he declared.
