FRANKFURT: Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich remain five points clear at the top of the German Bundesliga after recording a 0-0 draw at their nearest rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Although there were no goals in the big game of the latest Bundesliga weekend, there was plenty of excitement at the Westfalenstadion, where both sides created plenty of chances.

While the draw did not allow Dortmund to eat further into Bayern’s advantage, they did increase their lead over third-placed Hertha Berlin, who are in action on Sunday, to 16 points, strengthening their grip on a place in the Champions League next season.
