How to understand “Der Klassiker” in football?

What is considered Der Klassiker?

Der Klassiker (The Classic), also known as the “German Clasico”, is the name given in football to any match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. They are two of the most successful teams in German football. The two teams fought closely for the Bundesliga title and met in the UEFA Champions League Final.

However, the nature of the rivalry has been called into question, with many disputing the fixture being a “classic” due to there being little historic rivalry between the teams, in contrast to the long history of many other prominent football derbies in Germany, including Dortmund’s Revierderby with FC Schalke 04 and the various Bavarian football derbies involving Bayern Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg.
