German legend Franz Beckenbauer has claimed that Borussia Dortmund's Mario Gotze and Marco Reus have forged the best midfield partnership in the world.
The 67-year-old believes that the duo are better than Barcelona midfielders Xavi and Andres Iniesta and describes them as "classic".
"At Barcelona Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi are building a triangle," he told Bild.
"But as a classic duo there is nobody better than the prolific Reus and Gotze. How they split Ajax in the Champions League impressed me. I hope they do not succeed in Munich."
Dortmund are away at Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
