Franck Ribery: 'Borussia Dortmund are back in title race'

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery believes that Borussia Dortmund have revived their chances of winning the Bundesliga this season.

Jurgen Klopp's side have overcome a disappointing start to their domestic campaign to climb up to second in the table after 13 rounds of matches, nine points behind leaders Bayern.

The two teams will confront each other at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, and Ribery admits that defeating the defending German champions will be tough even at home.

"Dortmund are back," he told Kicker. "They have a good team and it is not easy playing against them.

"It has been a while since we have beaten them in the league, but we should not let that pressure us too much."

Dortmund won the Bundesliga in 2011 and 2012.
