The Revierderby Has Something for Everyone

One of the Bundesliga's best known rivalries rose to the occasion yet again.

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 may have battled to a 2-2 stalemate, but getting there was most of the fun.

The league title may be a one-horse race -- what's new? -- but there are far more battles than just the crown.
