Hello everyone. Welcome to LIVE text commentary of Der Klassiker, between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena. This is quite simply the biggest game in German football.

FT Bayern Munich 4-0 Borussia Dortmund - It's a rout. Bayern Munich dish out another whipping for Borussia Dortmund in this stadium, this time winning by four. Lewandowski scored two, and he now has a frankly ridiculous 16 goals in the Bundesliga alone this season. Some soul-searching for Dortmund during the international break.

Coutinho decides to go alone when he should have picked out Müller, who gives him a deathly stare. It matters little though, Bayern are easy winners today.

Kimmich collects his customary booking.

Perisic has been bright since coming on. He twists and turns in the Dortmund box but can't quite get a shot away.

Perisic goes for goal with what would have been a stunning volley. He catches it sweetly, but it goes wide of the far post.

Martinez has been excellent in defence for Bayern today. He cuts out a pass by Reus that was heading for Alcacer.

This win will take Bayern up to third place in the Bundesliga, level on points with second placed RB Leipzig, who won 4-2 at Hertha Berlin earlier today. Borussia Mönchengladbach remain top though, and can extend their lead to four points with victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday.

Guerreiro inexplicably passes the ball straight out of play. What is going on with Dortmund?

It's been men against boys out there. Borussia Dortmund are heading for another heavy defeat at the Allianz Arena. In the past four seasons they've lost 5-0 (18/19), 6-0 (17/18), 4-1 (16/17) and 5-1 (15/16). Not a happy hunting ground.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 4-0 Borussia Dortmund - It's an own goal by Mats Hummels against his former club. Perisic's cross is aimed for Thiago at the near post, but Hummels diverts it into his own net as he tries to cut out the cross.

Almost a fourth for Bayern as Pavard races clear down the right and picks out Perisic at the back post, but the Croatian puts it wide.

After a tedious VAR check that needlessly holds up play, we're back underway.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 3-0 Borussia Dortmund - It's another for Bayern and another for Lewandowski! The Pole's flick-on reaches Müller, who lifts the ball back to Lewandowski, who caressed it into the bottom corner. Easy as you like, and Bayern are cruising to victory.

Bayern sub: Perisic on, Coman off.

Lucien Favre is stomping his feet around in the technical area, but his team have been outdone in every department today. Dortmund's best play has come since going 2-0 down, and since Reus and Alcacer came on.

Coman goes close! If there's anyone out there who deserves a goal, it's Kingsley Coman. The Frenchman cuts in from the left, a la Franck Ribery, but drills his shot centimeters over.

Brilliant trickery again by Coman. This time he digs out a cross but the ball somehow evades Müller, who was trying to glance his header in.

Bayern sub: Thiago on, Goretzka off.

Bayern have just taken their foot off the pedal in the past few minutes.

So close to a Dortmund goal! A cross from the right is deflected slightly by Martinez, which does just enough to take the sting out of the cross and put Alcacer off his stride. The Spaniard can't adjust his feet in time, and puts the ball wide from a meter out. That was agonisingly close for Dortmund.
