'We didn't have the courage' – Weigl admits Dortmund were scared in 5-0 Bayern rout

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl has admitted that he and his team-mates were afraid of Bayern Munich on Saturday as the Bavarian side romped to a 5-0 win over their title-challenging rivals.

Three Bundesliga wins on the trot saw Dortmund come into the top-of-the-table clash, while the Allianz Arena hosts had only narrowly squeezed past 2. Bundesliga side Heidenheim in the DFB Pokal in midweek.

It quickly became apparent that recent results would count for nothing, however, as Mats Hummels opened the scoring against his former club after only 10 minutes, with Bayern going 4-0 up before half-time.
