I can imagine that the rest of Europe is less impressed about this final but here in Germany the whole nation will be watching tonight. It is so exciting, just unbelievable. Of course the team I support (Borussia Dortmund) has very little chances to win but you can dream.
London will be black and yellow tonight even if Bayern München wins! Watch the Dortmund fans dancing and singingin the stadium, they are the best fans.

Good luck. Clearly Munich are favourites but would be great to see an upset.
Hi Barbara, I will be watching and supporting Dortmund, they are a quality team and really deserve their place in the final :)
I'm not a fan at all of Bayern, and they were lucky against Arsenal, so just for that they need to lose!
I tend to have a team from each of the major European countries, and my German team is actually Werder Bremen. Always the underdog for me lol :)
Best of luck and enjoy the game xx

HT = 0-0
Nice, even match. Dortmund have had more shots, but Bayern have had the two most clear cut chances. Both 'keepers on top form!

I am close to a heart attack! Everything is still possible.
1-0 Bayern: Mandzukic, 59 mins.
A hint of offside as Arjen Robben reaches a through ball, but the Dutchman shows some great trickery to get beyond the Dortmund defence and square to Mandzukic, who couldn't miss from a few yards out. Smeltzer unlucky not to reach the initial cut- back.
On reflection, Mario Mandzukic deserves his goal.

Even at 1-0 Bayern, it still is. The German champions are now on the ascendency, but we know what tends to happen to them in European finals!
Just as i speak, a clumsy 66th minute challenge from Dante in the box gives Dortmund a penalty.
1-1 as Gundogan send Neuer the wrong way!

Dortmund are spurred on - a bit more composure on 69 mins would have them 2-1 up.
Turning into a great final :)

What a clearance from the goal-line as Robben lurks, 71 mins! Breathtaking stuff!
And Lewandowski just denied a goal on 73 mins: shame he had made a foul to get the ball, as that was a sensational curving shot that had Neuer stranded.
Y'know, I tend to slag German 'keepers off (well, most European 'keepers, tbh), but both have been in superb form tonight!!
Nasty piece of intent from Lewandowski, drawing his studs down Boateng's ankle when he was already down on 78 mins - he should have been sent off, tbh.
No need for the big Pole to do that, he's much better than that.
Goal! Robben, 89 mins - nice slide past the 'keeper.
