#9 Schalke 4-1 Borussia Dortmund (2007)
The Revierderby between FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund is arguably the biggest derby in Germany, considering the competitiveness of both the teams. Both clubs are from the Ruhr region of Germany and have supplied some of the finest players to the German national team.
The game in question is from the 2007/08 season, which was before Jurgen Klopp took over Dortmund. Schalke were looking to extract revenge on their city rivals after Dortmund’s win in their previous encounter ended Schalke’s title hopes.
Schalke’s side that played the game consisted of players like Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer and Rafinha, Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil. The Dortmund side consisted of players like Mladen Petric, Roman Weidenfeller and Jakub Blaszczykowski.
The home side took the lead through Marcelo Jose Bordon, before Christian Pander and Gerald Asamoah extended the lead. Dortmund pulled one back in the second half through Nelson Valdez, but the lead was restored by former Germany striker Kevin Kuranyi.
The rivalry between the sides grew after this game and in 2008, Dortmund fans even celebrated Schalke not winning a league title in 50 years.
