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.

德甲联赛第23轮展开一场引人注目的焦点大战，由近期状态不佳的老牌豪门拜仁慕尼黑主场迎战沙尔克04，本场比赛双方主帅都对首发阵容进行了调整，拜仁方面，海因克斯将德国国脚托尼-克罗斯放在替补席上，穆勒担任前腰，阿拉巴与古斯塔沃组成双后腰；沙尔克04方面，由于乌纳施塔尔受伤，前德国国门希尔德布兰首次在德甲联赛中代表球队首发。最终拜仁凭借着里贝里的两粒进球，2-0完胜沙尔克04，积分也超越门兴，重新成为积分榜第二。值得一提的是，2月27日是拜仁慕尼黑俱乐部成立纪念日，球队也用这场完胜为俱乐部112岁生日献礼。
