'Bayern simply a class above' - Weigl admits Dortmund expected defeat

The visitors knew they would get nothing from the game as they suffered a thorough trouncing at the hands of the Bundesliga leaders

Julian Weigl claims Borussia Dortmund never felt capable of getting a good result against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

The Bundesliga leaders took another step towards clinching a sixth successive title with a 6-0 victory at the Allianz Arena, in which they scored five times in a ruthless first-half display.

Weigl, who replaced Gonzalo Castro after just half an hour, admits Dortmund deserved nothing better from their wretched performance.

"Bayern were simply a class above," he said, as quoted by Ruhr Nachrichten.
