Der Klassiker, also known as the German Clasico, is the name given in football to any official match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Since the foundation of the Bundesliga, they are two of the most successful football teams in Germany.
The rivalry between both clubs grew up in the 1990s. Since 1994, only four clubs other than Bayern and Dortmund have won the German championship. During this period Bayern have won 12 Bundesliga titles and Dortmund 5. The first phase of the rivalry was between 1994 and 1998 where Dortmund gained two Bundesliga titles and won the UEFA Champions League at Bayern's home ground. The second phase started in 2010, resulting in five consecutive wins for Dortmund. The term "German Clasico" was used since then based on the Spanish El Clásico. After two championships for Dortmund, both met in the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final which was won by Bayern. In the 2012–13 Bundesliga, Bayern broke Dortmund's points record which had been set the year before.
