Bayern 'handles' Dortmund, preparing for the big match with Real Madrid

The 4-1 victory helped the "Gray Tigers" move closer to the Bundesliga title for the fifth consecutive season, and also warm up for the Champions League quarter-finals next week.

Goals: Ribéry (4'), Lewandowski (10' and 68'), Robben (49') - Guerreiro (20').

Home team Bayern took an early two-goal lead after just ten minutes, thanks to Franck Ribery (4th minute) and Lewandowski (10th minute).

Raphael Guerreiro reduced the score for Dortmund in the 20th minute. But early in the second half, Arjen Robben put Bayern back with a two-goal advantage. The Bundesliga's highlight match was decided in the 68th minute, when Lewandowski successfully scored a penalty to give the Bavarian club a convincing victory.

Bayern have opened up a 10-point lead over second-placed RB Leipzig with six games remaining in the Bundesliga this season. Carlos Ancelotti's side are closing in on a record 27th German title and look unstoppable.

They are also aiming for a treble this season. Bayern will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, with the first leg on Wednesday, April 12. They will then meet Dortmund in the German Cup semi-finals on April 26.

Lewandowski's excellent form is a key factor in Bayern's pursuit of the treble this season. The Polish striker took his Bundesliga tally to 27 goals after scoring twice against his former team. Lewandowski surpassed Aubameyang to top the list of top scorers.

The heavy defeat at the hands of Bayern left Dortmund in fourth place, 18 points behind their opponents. Coach Thomas Tuchel's team only has the task of securing a place in the Champions League next season in the Bundesliga. However, they still have two arenas to strive for: the National Cup and the Champions League.
