Reaction to Dortmund v Bayern:
Jupp Heynckes: “After the events of recent weeks, it's not easy going back to the bread-and-butter. It was a very intense match in which neither team gave an inch. Beforehand, people were saying would be boring because so many Bayern regulars wouldn't be playing, but it certainly wasn't boring. I want to praise my team for an outstanding battling performance, especially when we move down to 10 men. So we deserved the draw.”
