Saturday's Der Klassiker Is Hopelessly Meaningless

Don't expect a competitive affair in tomorrow morning's Der Klassiker with both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund looking ahead to their upcoming Champions League quarterfinals. Expect both teams to rest quite a few of their star players as they try to conserve energy and fitness for these huge games.

Borussia Dortmund will have one eye on AS Monaco, Ligue 1's only remaining club. Monaco did more than prove themselves in the round of 16 after defeating Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. That match comes on Tuesday, only three days after Der Klassiker.

Hoffenheim Rocket Ends Bayern Munich's 15-Match Unbeaten Streak

Bayern Munich finally faltered in the Bundesliga and lost to TSG Hoffenheim by a final score of 1-0 on Tuesday. The loss comes at the start of a difficult period for the Bavarians.

150th Ruhr Derby Highlighted By Surly Mascot, Inappropriate Mask And One Lonely Fan

The 150th meeting between Ruhr-based clubs Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 ended in a 1-1 draw at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, but the match was not without its fair share of wonderful moments. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the visitors the lead in the 53rd-minute, but Schalke academy project Thilo Kehrer scored his first-ever Schalke goal in the 77th to split the spoils. Here’s how it all went down.

Has Bayern Munich's New Home Kit Been Leaked?

Ladies and gentlemen, Bayern Munich's home kit for the 2017-2018 season may have made its firs appearances online.

It's throwback to the jerseys that Bayern Munich were wearing in the 1970's, and Adidas did a fantastic job replicating it, but also making sure that the jersey has a modern look.

According to Footy Headlines, the jersey is completely red with thin, vertical white stripes. The shorts for next year are expected to go back to the classic red.

Looking Ahead To The 150th Revierderby

Borussia Dortmund and FC Schalke 04 will meet once again in the Revierderby Saturday. They last met in a nil-nil draw on October 29, 2016.

This will be the 150th iteration of the derby. Schalke leads the all-time series with 58 wins to Borussia Dortmund's 51. They have drawn 40 times.

The first match between the two teams took place on May 3, 1925, with Schalke winning 4-2. Schalke won all three matchups against Dortmund that season.

Hoffenheim vs. Hertha Featured Two Goals You Need To See For Completely Different Reasons

Bundesliga also-rans Hoffenheim and Hertha met in a battle pitting fourth and fifth in the German top division. Hoffenheim would ultimately win 3-1, climbing above Borussia Dortmund and into third in the table — only 14 points behind Bayern Munich.

The match featured two must-watch but starkly contrasting goals. Peter Pekarik opened the scoring for Hertha after a truly bizarre assist from Alexander Esswein. It was just an awful mis-hit, but that stupid cliche they all count the same.

Robben Throws a Hissy Fit as he is Subbed

League leaders Bayern Munich have shown great form, only losing once this season. Their lengthy roster of world class players do not want to settle for anything less. During their game against Monchengladbach, Robben was not a happy camper when taken off the pitch in the final minutes of the game. His teammates tried to calm him down, obviously undermining Robben's emotional state. Xabi Alonso exhibited sheer class by giving the sad soul a water bottle although he did not appreciate it in the end. This was the cherry on top for the Bayern Munich bench as they burst into laughter.
