5) Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Bayern Munich - MD11, 2018/19
Dortmund had made a blistering, table-topping start to the season and were 90 positive minutes away from equalling a club record of 11 Bundesliga games without defeat when defending champions Bayern came to town on 10 November 2018.
Bayern were four points off the pace after a run of disappointing results the previous month, but made an ominous start. Serge Gnabry was in rampant mood, and after going close himself, teed up Dortmund old boy Robert Lewandowski for the first of five Klassiker goals.
Dortmund talisman Marco Reus won and converted a second-half penalty, but parity lasted less than three minutes with the Gnabry-Lewandowski axis cranking into gear once again to restore Bayern's lead. Lewy would have had a third but for the linesman’s flag, and it proved a key moment in a rip-roaring contest.
Attacking the 24,000 or so Black-Yellow bricks in the Yellow Wall, Dortmund found a second wind and levelled through captain fantastic Reus. Then came the moment that confirmed BVB's title-chasing credentials. After Jadon Sancho had dispossessed Franck Ribery in his own half, Axel Witsel sprayed a stunning ball over the top for super sub Paco Alcacer to chase - and chase he did. The Spain striker hot-footed past the Bayern defence to slot past Manuel Neuer and bring up his seventh Bundesliga goal in six appearances (five from the bench!).
