"We'll approach the game with maximum concentration and the greatest respect for our opponent. We know that every team can come unstuck when we don't fully focus. We want to control the game from the start, have the ball, create chances and take them. That means we'll do our usual thing even against a team from the third tier, which is being dominant, aggressive and always getting forward."
"It's a special experience for us. I used to watch matches between Bayern and Dortmund as a kid. It's Der Klassiker. We're the favourites but definitely won't underestimate our opponent. They'll give their all, so it's especially important for us to play to our strengths and control the game. We're really looking forward to the challe"
FC Bayern Women start their DFB-Pokal defence with a first-round tie at Borussia Dortmund, kick-off 18:30 CEST. Bayern followed a goalless draw with Carl Zeiss Jena by a dominant 4-0 win over Freiburg, with Giulia Gwinn returning from injury and Bayern top of the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund compete in the Regionalliga West after four consecutive promotions, recording nine points from four games and a +17 goal difference before an administrative ruling overturned a 3-0 result to a 2-0 loss. Bayern stress concentration, respect and control while Dortmund expect to give their all despite being lower-tier opponents.
