Battle of Dortmund and Bayern Munich Wags: The lingerie and Instagram models watching on as Bundesliga battle rages on
BORUSSIA DORTMUND host Bayern Munich tonight in Germany's most hotly-anticipated fixture.
Fans around the world will be glued to their televisions as they watch the Bundesliga's top-two slug it out in what will likely be a crucial match in the title run-in.
And among the eyes locked on their screens at home will be those of the players' wives and girlfriends - also unable to attend and cheer their men on from the stands at Signal Iduna Park.
We take a look at some of the Wags that will be kicking every ball from their living rooms during the big match tonight.
SCARLETT GARTMANN - BORUSSIA
Borussia Dortmund skipper Marco Reus won't be able to play tonight as he nurses yet another injury.
But the 30-year-old will likely be joined in front of the TV at home by wife Scarlett Gartmann.
The loved-up couple have been together since 2015 - and married last year as well as welcoming their first child.
The 26-year-old has posed for car makers Volkswagen and Hyundai - and would normally be seen cheering her man on from the stands at BVB and national team matches.
SANDRA JERZE - BAYERN
Swiss model Sandra Jerze is believed to have started dating Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry earlier this year, with the pair spending Easter together in Munich.
The former Arsenal star, 24, is rumoured to be touch-and-go for tonight's match... so hopefully Sandra has been helping him nurse himself back to full fitness.
She once appeared in a music video for a song in which the lead singer dresses in a German national football team kit - but she now seems to have found romance with a real player.
ANN-KATHRIN BROMMEL - BORUSSIA
Lingerie model Ann-Kathrin Brommel has been with Mario Gotze since 2012, watching her man score the winning goal in the World Cup final two years later.
But tonight, she'll just be hoping that he manages to get on the pitch from the substitutes' bench.
Gotze has been struggling to make an impact this season and it was announced at the weekend that he'll be leaving Westphalia in the summer - but it is yet unknown as to where he and his wife will be moving.
ANNA LEWANDOWSKA - BAYERN
Goal-machine Robert Lewandowski has shown little signs of slowing down at the age of 31, still banging them in for fun at Bayern.
But he isn't the only athlete in his house.
In fact, wife Anna will do a good job keeping him on his toes, given that she is a PE graduate, health and nutrition expert and has even represented Poland in karate championships around the world.
CATHY HUMMELS - BORUSSIA
Mats Hummels has spent the last 11 years hopscotching from Bayern to Dortmund, back to Bayern and then to Dortmund again for good measure.
But the constant in his life has been wife Cathy.
She was voted Germany's favourite Wag in 2013 and the happy couple wed two years later - they now have a two-year-old son called Ludwig.
JULIA VIGAS - BAYERN
Thiago, 29, tends to spend his Saturday afternoons running the show at Bundesliga grounds around the country.
A happy off-pitch life tends to lead to stellar results on it - and Thiago has been supported throughout his time in Germany by wife Julia.
The happy couple met in Barcelona when Thiago was playing for the Blaugrana, and they married in 2015.
RAFAELLA SZABO WITSEL - BORUSSIA
Axel Witsel made the move to Borussia Dortmund in 2018, after successful stints at Zenit St Petersburg and the now defunct Tianjin Quanjian.
With him throughout these globetrotting exploits has been Romanian wife Rafaella, who has posted on Instagram from Axel's games in the past.
The loved-up couple wed in 2015, and have two children together.

ALINE BRUM - BAYERN
Javi Martinez has played only five minutes of Bundesliga football in 2020 after picking up a nasty injury just before Christmas.
Things are looking up for the Spaniard, however, having been back on the bench for Saturday's romp over Eintracht Frankfurt.
And whatever happens, he'll be cheered on by Brazilian wife Aline and their son Luca, born in 2016.
