• Sahin proud of Dortmund after Klassiker draw

  Nuri Sahin could not ask for any more from his Borussia Dortmund side after they drew 1-1 with Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

  Jamal Musiala scored in the 85th minute on Saturday to quash Dortmund's hopes of picking up the three points against their fierce rivals.

  Dortmund went ahead through Jamie Gittens' 27th-minute goal at Signal Iduna Park, with that effort one of just two shots on target from the hosts.

  And though they could not hold on, Sahin was full of pride after a resilient display against the Bundesliga's best.

  As quoted by the Bundesliga's official website, Sahin said: "I just told my team that I'm proud of them, but of course, we just drew, and our mindset is that we want to win those matches.

  "We played against a very tough opponent, and we suffered in moments, but it was clear that we would have to suffer in moments against Bayern.

  "We did a good job so, although in the end, you can talk about a deserved draw for both sides, it hurts."

  Gittens has been directly involved in 11 goals (eight goals, three assists) in his 19 games this season, and the attacker felt Dortmund had little more to give.

  "Honestly I think we did as much as we could," he said.

  "We could have put away some of our chances in the first half and second half, but we defended well the whole game. Bayern is always a tough game, so to stop their players is always really hard, but we tried."

  It was a sentiment that was echoed by his team-mate Felix Nmecha, who said: "We gave everything to try and see out the win.

  "They had quite a few chances at the end, which we defended most of them very well, but then at the end it went in. It's bitter, but we have to take this result."

• Atletico Madrid's winning streak fuelled by newcomers

  Atletico Madrid's winning run is down to a successful adaptation by their summer signings, so says Diego Simeone.

  Real Valladolid were no match for in-form Atleti on Saturday, as Simeone's team won 5-0 to cruise to a seventh straight victory in all competitions.

  The club spent big on reinforcing their squad over the summer, and three of those signings - Clement Lenglet, Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth - were on target against Valladolid.

  Antoine Griezmann and Rodrigo De Paul also scored as Atleti moved, temporarily at least, into second place in LaLiga.

  "All teams need time. A month and a half ago, two months ago, we talked about the new guys needing to adapt to the team and how Atletico Madrid play because they all played differently in their (former) teams," Simeone told reporters.

  "The growth of Lenglet, [Conor] Gallagher, Julian, Sorloth and the hope of recovering [the injured] Robin Le Normand soon is giving us a good feeling.

  "We lost a very bad game against [Real] Betis, where we were not recognisable. And I think that was the breakthrough of what has come from then on. We can win, lose or draw, but we have to be recognisable."

  Atleti had just 13 shots against Valladolid, yet got nine of them on target and accumulated a whopping 4.0 expected goals. That means, on average, each of their shots had an xG value of 0.3.

  Simeone hopes Atleti can carry the momentum into the Copa del Rey, with Cacereno coming up in the second round on Thursday.

  "Defensively we are doing well, which gives us a plus, and offensively we also have a position that gives us attacking options, speed, inside play, aerial play, counter-attacking, and we have to keep going," he said.

  "The league is very long and we are looking forward to the cup match, which will be tough like all ties, and we need to maintain the humility and commitment that the boys are showing."

• Bayern dealt blow as Kane suffers thigh injury

  Bayern Munich confirmed Harry Kane is sidelined "for the time being" after suffering a thigh injury against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

  The 31-year-old, top scorer in Germany's top-flight this season with 14 goals, was taken off in the first half of the 1-1 draw at Dortmund.

  Kane has also had the most shots of any player in the Bundesliga (46, level with Omar Marmoush), and had the most big chances (17, scoring 10).

  "Kane suffered a small muscle tear in the back of his right thigh," the club said in a statement. "Which means Bayern will have to do without Kane for the time being."

  Bayern manager Vincent Kompany admitted Kane was unlikely to be fit to face Bayer Leverkusen, who they host in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 on Tuesday.

  "Obviously, it will be tight for Tuesday. I don't know many players who can recover that quickly," Kompany said after the Dortmund game.

  German media reported that the England captain could be sidelined for at least two weeks. Bundesliga leaders Bayern host Heidenheim on Saturday.
