Borussia Mönchengladbach welcomes FC Bayern to Borussia Park this Friday evening. There is more at stake for the hosts. Gladbach would actually need a win in order not to lose touch with the international places. Seventh place with four points behind the Champions League places – that’s too little for your own claim. Bayern can go into the game a little more relaxed. They are two points ahead (33) in first place in the table.
The duel between the two clubs has been one of the most traditional in German football since 1965, when both teams made it to the Bundesliga. There were only three more frequent pairings (Bayern – Werder Bremen, HSV – Werder Bremen, Bayern-HSV).
We take a look back at some of the biggest games between the two clubs, whose competition was greatest in the 1970s. For nine years, either FC Bayern or Borussia Mönchengladbach won the championship title. But before and after that they played big games again and again.
