The legendary coach who has coached both teams feels the Bavarian giants have more chances to defeat fierce rivals’ Borussia Dortmund on May 25 at Wembley, but added the BVB can pull off a surprise
Former Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund trainer Ottmar Hitzfeld has claimed the recently crowned league champions will win the UEFA Champions League final. The two Bundesliga giants play each other at Wembley on May 25,
with the German champions making their third final appearance in four seasons.
Der FCB were the losing finalists in the 2009-10 and 2011-12 season. The present http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 coach feels Jupp Heynckes’ team are in a better position as they have already secured the domestic league and reached the German
cup final. However, he claimed the Black Yellows have the potential to dash Bayern’s treble hopes.
On the other hand, he stated that this final outcome is a treat for German football and also for him as he managed both clubs. He suggested that Die Roten have the upper hand but the result will depend on the form of both
teams on that particular day.
He further added that the BVB have won a few matches against Bayern in the last couple of seasons. Therefore, anything can happen and it is hard to predict as both teams are deadly on their day.
"This is a dream for German football that there is this final. And then, for me, also with Dortmund and Bayern being my former clubs,” he added.
"I believe that Bavaria are the slight favourites, but both meet at eye level. Dortmund have won some games against Bayern in the last three years. Form on the day will decide,” he said.
"Dortmund have nothing to lose. They have achieved more than they could have imagined this season. And people were expecting them to go out after 90 minutes against Malaga [in the quarter-finals] and they virtually pulled
off a miracle,” he mused.
He said that Dortmund are fearless and they have reached greater heights than they intended to this time around. Also, people thought they would get eliminated by Malaga in the last-eight clash.
