Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: 5 Things To Expect From Champions League Final

3. Tension & Animosity

Jurgen_Klopp Taking events that have preceded this tie into careful consideration, we can practically be guaranteed both tension and animosity by the bucket-load in this season's Champions League Final. A war of words between Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp and Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes has already ensued, with Klopp likening his rival to a James Bond villain before condemning their big-spending transfer policy. Bayern have snatched Dortmund's exciting young midfielder Mario Gotze away from them and there's even reports they want Lewandowski too. That all makes for an incredibly tense encounter which has already been fraught by Bayern's domination of the Bundesliga this season and eliminations of Dortmund from the Supercup and DFB Cup througout the course of the campaign. Dortmund will be out to prove a point Saturday night.
