By Kit Holden As Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund prepare for their first clash of the new season, relationships between the two clubs could barely be more strained. The two German giants face each other on Wednesday night in the DFL Supercup, Germany's equivalent of the Community Shield. Dortmund's 80,000 seater Westfalenstadion is already sold out, and while the trophy may not be the most prestigious, the ongoing conflict between the two clubs is sure to make the game a heated affair. Dortmund chief executive Hans Joachim Watzke wrote to FC Bayern this weekend, confirming that he and his colleagues will not be sharing a meal with their Munich counterparts on the day of the game. The German Football League had invited both clubs to eat together, but Watzke claims that 'the deep running disharmony' between the two clubs would make such a gesture 'pointless'.
