Match Preview
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to pick up their first win over Bayern Munich in their fifth attempt this season as the two sides come face to face in the first ever all-German Champions League Final at Wembley. The Bavarians have been imperious against their Bundesliga opposition this term, drawing two and winning two of the previous four encounters between the pair en-route to wresting the German championship from their rivals with six games to spare -
the quickest-ever triumph in German league history. Jupp Heynckes' men also laid down a marker ahead of this clash by ferociously dismantling tournament favourites Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate, and will be the favourites on Saturday on the back of that unprecedented triumph. But Dortmund are not to be underestimated. Jurgen Klopp's side won the German championship back-to-back in 2010/11 and 2011/12 and hammered Munich 5-2 in last season's DFB-Pokal final, with Robert Lewandowski scoring a hat-trick. And the Polish international will be one of the Black-Yellow's most potent weapons. He scored 4 times in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final thrashing of Real Madrid, and is the competition's second highest goalscorer this term only behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the standings. Many a neutral fan will be hoping for a Dortmund victory, but will the merciless Bayern machine be too strong for their opposition on this occasion?
