The Bavarians had just kicked Real Madrid out of the Champions League, which set up a reunion with current Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain. The first leg is set for the end of the month.

Bayern heads into this match on 76 points, while Borussia Dortmund is on 64. If Bayern wins and Dortmund loses, Bayern are champions because the gap between the two teams would theoretically be 15 points (79 to 64). Yes, there are five matches left and if Bayern were to lose each one of them, their sheer goal difference (+78 to +31 before kickoff) is unlikely to be overhauled.
