Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: 5 things to watch in Der Klassiker

#1 Time for Batshuayi to cement his status with BVB

Batshuayi must step up when it really matters

Michy Batshuayi has hit the ground running since switching the blue of Chelsea for the yellow of Dortmund. A return of six goals in seven league appearances is impressive by all accounts, and his timely strikes are one of the primary reasons for Dortmund's upturn in form lately.

However, the match against Bayern Munich would be the first big challenge with his new side and Batshuayi's mettle would truly be put through the wringer.

The Belgian, for all his ferocity in front of goal, would really be measured by his performances in games like these; against opponents like Bayern, and one can safely assume the cameras would pan on him on more occasions than they have in the games leading up to this.

Dortmund need their target man more than ever here if they aim to come away with something from Munich, and if he scores, Michy Batshuayi will cement his status in the BVB cauldron.
