In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich matched up against Schalke. It was a big game for Bayern, trying to capitalize on Borussia Moenchengladbach's loss last Friday. A win could give Munchen second spot in the league.
Bayern needed to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat at Basel in the first leg of its Champions League last-16 tie. Franck Ribery beat an offside trap and scored off a deep cross. The ball landed in an empty net, 1-0 for Bayern Munich.
The French striker made it 2-0 for the home side. This time he fired a piercing shot from the area into the back of the net. Two for Ribery - Bayern Munich was in command.
Midway through second half - Thomas Muller almost made it 3-0. He sent the ball into the net off a header, but two of teammates were ruled offside, no goal. So Bayern prevailed with a 2-0 win to move up to second place. Schalke dropped to fourth.

德甲聯賽第23輪展開一場引人注目的焦點大戰，由近期狀態不佳的老牌豪門拜仁慕尼黑主場迎戰沙爾克04，本場比賽雙方主帥都對首發陣容進行了調整，拜仁方面，海因克斯將德國國腳托尼-克羅斯放在替補席上，穆勒擔任前腰，阿拉巴與古斯塔沃組成雙后腰；沙爾克04方面，由于烏納施塔爾受傷，前德國國門希爾德布蘭首次在德甲聯賽中代表球隊首發。最終拜仁憑借著里貝里的兩粒進球，2-0完勝沙爾克04，積分也超越門興，重新成為積分榜第二。值得一提的是，2月27日是拜仁慕尼黑俱樂部成立紀念日，球隊也用這場完勝為俱樂部112歲生日獻禮。
