Bundesliga's Dortmund-Bayern title fight unmatched in Europe

It's often said the German language has a compound word for absolutely everything, and of course that maxim applies to the scenario we have in store for us Saturday.

The word "Fernduell" (a long-distance duel) is a universally understood concept in Germany. It's a contest involving two teams competing for the same thing and playing at the same time but in different venues. Maybe the English language should just adopt the word as it has done with Gegenpressing considering no such exact equivalent exists!

Saturday's Fernduell promises to be in keeping with the excitement Bundesliga followers have lapped up for many a long weeks now.
