Wembley will host the first ever all-
German clash in a European Cup final
as Bayern Munich face Borussia
Dortmund on Saturday evening.
A German side is therefore
guaranteed to win the UEFA
Champions League for the third
time, with Bayern (2001) and
Dortmund (1997) the two previous
winners from the Bundesliga.
Bayern will be the favourites after an
all-encompassing domestic season.
Not only did they win the Bundesliga
title earlier than any team in history,
but they also set records for the
most wins, fewest defeats, the
fewest goals conceded, most clean
sheets and best goal difference, and
they also scored in every league
match.
This dominance has been reflected
on the European stage. Bayern won
all four of their quarter and semi-
final matches, scoring 11 goals
without conceding against Juventus
and Barcelona.
Bayern will also be hoping to redress
their final form, having lost to Inter
Milan in 2010 and Chelsea on
penalties last season in their home
stadium, the Allianz Arena.
The match will be Jupp Heynckes
penultimate game in charge before
the veteran coach leaves the club
and allows Pep Guardiola to take his
place at the helm.
For Dortmund, this is the
opportunity to respond after a
season in which Bayern have
wrestled back the initiative in
Germany after consecutive titles for
Die Schwarzgelben.
They reached the final thanks to four
goals from Robert Lewandowski in
their semi-final first leg against Real
Madrid, and qualified despite a late
scare in the Bernabeu.
Coach Jurgen Klopp is a firm believer
that his side should play an
attractive brand of attacking football,
but Dortmund have struggled in
recent games against Bayern, failing
to beat their rivals in any of their
four matches this season.
Opta Facts
This is Jupp Heynckes' third
Champions League campaign as a
coach. In all three seasons he has
reached the final. In 1998 he won the
trophy with Real Madrid and last
year, he lost the final with Bayern
Munich.
Bayern have scored more headed
goals in the Champions League than
any other side this season.
BVB have kept just three clean
sheets in their last 12 European
matches.
Just one of the last five Champions
League finals has gone over 2.5
goals. However, that final was also
played at Wembley (Barcelona 3-1
Manchester United in 2011).
