FC Bayern won the classic against Borussia Dortmund.
The match referee is not allowed to whistle any more BVB games in the future.
Cologne - The classic between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund has left its mark on everyone involved.
Almost a month ago Bayern emerged victorious from the top Bundesliga game and won 3-2 against their big rivals.
After the game, however, the focus was mainly on a man who, according to his nature, prefers to stay in the background:
referee Felix Zwayer
.
The BVB raged after
some
debatable decisions
and
criticized
the referee
violently
.
This now has consequences for Zwayer.
FC Bayern versus Dortmund: Referee Zwayer blocked for BVB games
The Bundesliga summit between FC Bayern * and Borussia Dortmund was the last for Felix Zwayer for the time being.
For the time being, the referee is not allowed to whistle any more BVB games.
This was confirmed by DFB chief referee Lutz Michael Fröhlich in an interview with the specialist magazine
kicker
. "In my opinion, in such a case or a comparable case, it would not be responsible towards all sides to start the same constellation again immediately," said Fröhlich.
"There should be some time left."
Nevertheless, Zwayer could lead a game with BVB participation again in the future.
"There won't be a second Merk / Schalke case," said Fröhlich.
The 64-year-old was referring to Merk's late free kick at Bayern's season finale at Hamburger SV (1-1) in 2001, which cost Schalke the title.
Merk then did not lead a single game of the Royal Blues until his retirement in 2008.
There should be some time left.

BVB: Bellingham raises serious allegations against referee Zwayer
The Zwayer debate was triggered by the young Dortmund star
Jude Bellingham
.
The Englishman
verbally attacked
the referee after the game against Bayern
:
“You give a referee who has postponed games the biggest game in Germany.
What do you expect? ”In doing so, Bellingham, who had to pay dearly for his testimony, was clearly referring to
Zwayer's involvement in the manipulation scandal involving former referee Robert Hoyzer.

According to the court records, Zwayer, who helped uncover the scandal, accepted money like Hoyzer at the time.
Merry disagreed with that.
“Here was Robert Hoyzer's statement that Felix Zwayer had taken money against Felix Zwayer's, who denied it.
In this situation, he then accepted the judgment.
Whenever the process has been reopened in recent years, Felix had told me that he hadn't accepted any money, ”said the 64-year-old.
FIFA referee Zwayer receives backing from the boss
At the same time, Fröhlich criticized the
“inglorious aftermath” of the top duel
, which was equivalent to a tremor.
"This game management, and especially the person Felix Zwayer, certainly does not deserve this kind of cross-border approach," stressed Fröhlich.
Despite all the debates, Zwayer is still one of
the top referees
.
It was only in mid-December that FIFA confirmed the 40-year-old's entry for the World Association's list, which doesn't surprise Fröhlich: “Felix Zwayer is a top referee who, as a Bundesliga and FIFA referee, is on a very good way to the top international behind him. ”
