So who saw Saarbrücken becoming a serious part of the narrative this week? Bayern Munich's Blamage (a great German word for "disgrace") in the DFB-Pokal has only added another layer of interest and complexity to assessing how Saturday's showpiece event might go.
Internationally, the Borussia Dortmund-vs.-Bayern "Klassiker," as it has come to be known, is an important selling point for the Bundesliga. Recent history means there's always a temptation to frame it as the game to decide ... well, everything, the assumption being Dortmund must always prevail if Bayern are to be denied the Meisterschale.
