Borussia Dortmund Team Bus Vandalized Ahead of Match vs. Bayern Munich

Prior to their Bundesliga match against rival Bayern Munich Saturday, Borussia Dortmund's bus was vandalized outside the team hotel. 

According to Tony Mahoney of Goal.com, BVB spokesman Sascha Fligge told Sport1 that those responsible for the vandalism damaged the rear window and right rear tire. No players or team officials were present at the time of the incident aside from the bus driver.

Although it is unclear who damaged the bus, it certainly wasn't the type of distraction Dortmund needed leading up to a clash with the Bundesliga's top squad.

After being among the league's most dominant teams in recent years, Borussia Dortmund have taken a step back this season and are currently in the middle of the table.

Their match against Bayern was shaping up to be about little more than pride, but perhaps the vandalism incident added even more fuel to their fire.
