Former Dortmund player says Bayern Munich are under pressure to win Champions League – Football news
Freund, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has stated that Bavarian giants Bayern Munich are under immense pressure to lift the coveted European Crown.
If the stats are presented correctly, Bavarian giants Bayern Munich have made it to the grand finale of the most sought after football team accolade in Europe; yes, the UEFA Champions League.
No team in the recent years can be termed as more unlucky than the reigning German champions, possibly also English giants Manchester United, who have also lost 2 champions League finals in the past 5 years.
FC Bayern of Germany have gone on to make it to 3 of the last 4 finals of the Champions League and have miserably lost on all the previous three occasions, trying fruitlessly for the continental glory.
Freund, a former Borussia Dortmund midfielder and a Champions League winner with the Dortmund based club has stated that the Allianz Arena outfit face a difficult task to beat their country rivals because of their history in the competition and also due
to their poor stats against the BVB outfit.
He said, “Bayern may be the favourites, but for the most part Borussia have looked pretty good against them recently. And that will be in the back of both teams' minds. This is Bayern's third final in four years. Last year they were very, very unlucky to
lose at home to Chelsea after being much the better side. In 2010, they were well beaten by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567. This season, though, Bayern have impressed at every level and taking form into account they're absolutely the favourites.”
Bayern have certainly been touted as the favourites to win the Champions League final this time and were also bearing the burden of expectations last year when they faced a heart-breaking defeat by the hands of English side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, and that too at their
very own home stadium, the Allianz Arena.
He added, “I have a feeling it's going to be pretty physical and hot-blooded.”
The Saturday final, as expected by Freund, is going to be a high tempo match and with the stakes so high, tackles can be seen flying in with so much at offer in the biggest derby that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 could present.
