back Bayern in contention after an inconsistent start after the winter break.

of this campaign.

"I have to pay the coach a huge compliment as he has remained confident and handled the pressure during a difficult period. He is a championship trainer. At 66 years of age he has experienced all the ups and downs. He is the type
of trainer who retains complete control in times of crisis."

"I'm convinced [Dortmund are permanent rivals]. It could develop into a duel like in Spain between Real Madrid and Barca. There will be an ongoing battle for years with the better ending for us,” he concluded.
Bayern are currently three points adrift of Dortmund in the Bundesliga after their recent win over FC Augsburg on Saturday, April 7. Their next game will be against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, April 11, at the Signal Iduna
