Hello, everyone, and welcome to a special edition of ESPN FC. We are coming to you live from the

0:41.0

Allianz Arena here in Munich, Germany, because in less than 24 hours, it's the big one in the

0:46.9

Bundesliga, the Classica. Bayern Munich hosting Barusha Dortmund. We cannot wait for this fixture

0:53.3

and talk about Avengers assemble. Just look at the crew that we have assembled here. I'm Alexis Nunes alongside Stuart Robson, who's always Dapper and Pitchside. We have got Archie Rin Tutt, as well as Nader Manua and the great Didi Hama. Now, Didi, you know I have to start with you because you have played in this fixture.

2:06.6

and yet Dortmund, despite being unbeaten, have this air about them of, well, it doesn't feel like it,

2:12.8

because the two times that they've drawn against St. Pauli and against the eventus, they gave it,

2:18.9

they gave up two goal leads. And I think that actually one thing that is really piquing my interest

2:24.4

is the fact that you've got a buying team without Jamal Musiala and they've adapted well to it.

2:30.9

And you look at the key points of last season in the Champions League against Inter and they didn't know how to really cope going forward and you look at a Dortmund
