Bayern Munich great Lothar Matthaus has again singled out Pep Guardiola for criticism, comparing Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre's selection choices to those made by the Manchester City boss last season.
Dortmund finished 13 points behind Bayern in the Bundesliga last season, with May's 1-0 home loss to Hansi Flick's side proving pivotal in a previously tight title race.
Joshua Kimmich's wonderful chip proved decisive at Signal Iduna Park as Bayern opened up a seven-point lead at the summit that they would only extend.
Favre left attacker Jadon Sancho and Emre Can on the bench until half-time due to fitness concerns, which Matthaus believes proved costly in the grand scheme of things.
