Phillip Lahm Reflects on Bayern Munich Rivalry with Borussia Dortmund in New Interview

Phillip Lahm Reflects on Bayern Munich Rivalry with Borussia Dortmund in New Interview
World Sports · 22:56:31 - Saturday, 31 October 2026

Bayern Munich legend Phillip Lahm has given a retrospective interview discussing the highs and lows of his career encounters against Borussia Dortmund. The former Germany and Bayern captain, who spent his entire professional career at the Allianz Arena aside from a two-year loan at VfB Stuttgart, faced Dortmund numerous times in Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League fixtures.

Lahm's 17-year senior career at Bayern coincided with one of German football's most intense rivalries. The full-back turned midfielder was part of Bayern sides that won eight Bundesliga titles, six German cups, and the 2013 Champions League — a final contested against Dortmund at Wembley.

The interview, published Friday, covers Lahm's perspective on key matches, tactical battles, and the evolution of the Der Klassiker fixture during his playing days from 2005 to 2017.
