Hitz grateful for Dortmund fans' backing

For the third time since 2014/15, Marwin Hitz has experienced what it is like to win against Bayern Munich.

The 31-year-old was signed in the summer as backup to Swiss goalkeeper Roman Bürki, however injury ruled him out of Saturday night's clash. 

Hitz, who BVB signed from Augsburg, put in a good display in fornt of the Dortmund faithful. 

"The way that everyone in Dortmund gets behind you, is amazing. In terms of football, there isn't really anything more to experience," he told the club's website. 

Goals from Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer were enough to overcome a Robert Lewandowski brace, as the former Dortmund striker came back to haunt his former employers once again. 

"There were a lot of chances, a load of counter-attacks, many missed chances and a fair few goals. I don't think anyone regretted the trip to the stadium. It was a great game for the spectators," Hitz added.
