The champions may be just a single point ahead of Dortmund in the title race, but the two teams were separated by a gargantuan gulf in quality at the Allianz Arena.“If we keep playing like that, then we will find it difficult to stay in the race.” Buerki kept a furious Bayern at bay for a short while, denying Lewandowski, Hummels and Thomas Mueller with a series of saves.
The win leaves the title race finely poised on paper, but with Dortmund in the doldrums and Bayern bouncing, Niko Kovac’s side are now firm favourites to finish first. Schalke remain five points clear of the bottom three after Nuremberg and Stuttgart shared the points in a relegation showdown.
