When the fixtures for the current Bundesliga season were drawn up, the clash between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern on the third-to-last day of the season could easily have been a title decider. It certainly was last term, when BVB's 1-0 victory on Matchday 30 effectively knocked FCB out of the running. However, when Munich travel to the Ruhr Valley on Saturday (Live in English from 6:30 pm CET on FCB.tv Web Radio), the circumstances are completely different.
Boss Jupp Heynckes’ men wrapped up the 2012/13 title with just 28 games played, succeeding Borussia as champions. Leaders Munich are 20 points clear of second-placed BVB with three games to go, the biggest ever margin in Bundesliga history. However, there is still a enthralling subplot to the game, due to the impending meeting between the teams in the Champions League final at Wembley on 25 May.
