The German side's victory against Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in London alleviates some of the disappointment of the 2012 showpiece, when Bayern went down on penalties to Chelsea FC at their own Fußball Arena München. Only AC Milan had previously been able to shrug off the setback of a final defeat to claim the trophy 12 months later. The Rossoneri succumbed to Olympique de Marseille in the first final of the UEFA Champions League era in 1993, yet famously beat FC Barcelona 4-0 the next season. Indeed, Milan were finalists once more in 1995 but lost out to AFC Ajax.

Jupp Heynckes said FC Bayern München's Wembley win was reward for an "outstanding" season at home and abroad, while Jürgen Klopp's sadness was soon replaced by pride.
Jupp Heynckes, Bayern coach
"What we've achieved so far this season – because it's not over yet, we still have the German Cup final next weekend – has been outstanding. There's never been a Bundesliga team that's consistently played at such a high level, winning the championship by 25 points, breaking almost all records."
Jürgen Klopp, Dortmund coach
"I have to say congratulations to Bayern, of course – congratulations to Jupp Heynckes, I really think he deserves this trophy. It was a close match and at one point it was so open we could have won it. Our defensive work was incredibly good and that helped us to keep the game open. There were a few things we might have done differently, but in the end Bayern scored twice and us once. I've seen all the Champions League finals recently and not one of them finished without the result being in doubt at some point."

Arjen Robben, Bayern forward
"Unbelievable, [I'm] so happy. I think it's difficult to describe all the feelings [I] have at the moment, but I am very proud, proud to be part of this team. And yes, to finally win this Champions League, that's a dream come true. You can't describe it – so many emotions go through your head, especially because you know what it is like to lose. I think you can enjoy it even more when you win the title.This is the perfect season, and we can finish it off next week. If we win the cup final, then [we] win the treble, and I think that's our target. But I think for everybody tonight was the most important one, and I think now we can celebrate."

Congrats to Bayern,they had indeed a perfect season till now,beating barcelona with 7-0,winning Bundesliga by 25 points ahead rivals BVB,and now beeing crowned CL winners,they have only left the Pokal cup final,set to be played next weekend against Stuttgart.

PS: I only had a big problem in this great final match of the competition and that is why wasn't Dante sent off when he committed the penalty?!

Champions League final countdown

..Wembley is the stage for an all-German occasion as Borussia Dortmund meet FC Bayern München in the UEFA Champions League final.

• Bayern will arrive in London determined to erase the pain of losing last season's final at their home stadium. Having also lost the 2010 showpiece, the Bavarian side will be hoping to get the better of a Dortmund team they have already beaten to this season's Bundesliga title.

• Bayern, seeking their fifth European crown, beat FC Barcelona convincingly in the semi-finals but Jürgen Klopp's enterprising Dortmund outfit overcame Real Madrid CF in the last four and are bidding to repeat their 1997 triumph in their only previous UEFA Champions League final appearance.

• The clubs have met in 100 competitive fixtures with 45 wins for Bayern, 26 for Dortmund and 29 draws.

• Bayern are unbeaten against Dortmund in four meetings in 2012/13, including 1-1 home and away draws in the Bundesliga. On 1 December in Munich, Mario Götze (74) cancelled out a Toni Kroos (67) goal, while in Dortmund on 4 May, Bayern's Mario Gomez (23) wiped out Kevin Grosskreutz's 11th-minute effort in a fixture where Rafinha was sent off.

• Bayern's biggest Bundesliga win was an 11-1 defeat of Dortmund in 1971/72 in which Uli Hoeness, now club president, scored twice.

• This is the fourth UEFA Champions League final between teams from the same country. Real Madrid beat Valencia CF in 2000, Milan overcame Juventus in 2003, and Manchester United FC beat Chelsea FC in 2008. Of the three winning teams only United had finished above their final victims in their domestic championship.

• Dortmund fans will hope history is about to repeat itself. In 1997 when they won the UEFA Champions League following two seasons as German champions, Bayern had just reclaimed the Bundesliga trophy and Stuttgart won the German Cup. Bayern have already won this season's German title and face Stuttgart in the Cup final on 1 June.

• Götze will join Bayern from Dortmund on 1 July. In 2009 Hummels made the opposite journey, signing for Dortmund after two seasons in Munich.

Even if Bayern are the big favourites,i hope Dortmund will score,and play a great match..my bet for this game is a goal scored by Lewandowski one by T. Muller and the final score BVB 1-2  Bayern.

PROJECT REMONTADA!!!

 BARCELONA has the hardest game of the season today! After a 4-0 loss against Bayern Munich
in Germany,our favorites will try to make an amazing game today just like the one against Milan,
but milan is not bayern,and 2-0 is not 4-0...
Hystory shows that we have the potential!

Tito has the same problems in the defensive compartiment,with Mascherano and Puyol injured,

and Jordi Alba suspended for tonight's match,probably the defensive line will look like this: Adriano,Bartra(Abidal),Pique and Dani Alves.

PIQUÉ: IF ANYONE CAN OVERCOME A 4-0 that should be US

SCHWEINSTEIGER: barca fans will create a fantastic pressure

Bacelona's fans will prepare a special choreography for this game

 and they will play a big part in tonight's game!

Another big possible loss is Sergio Busquets,who is not 100% fit for tonight,

he will probably be replaced by Alex Song.

We all hope that Barca will manage to score fast,and if possible to keep 

a clean sheet,in my opinion Bayer has not come to Camp Nou to defend that 4-0 

and they will try to score,just to be sure of the qualification,so we should expect an

 opened game,and don't be serprised if Barcelona will succede the come back,

"LA REMONTADA" because WE CAN!because WE HAVE MESSI and

 WE ARE MES QUE UN CLUB!!!! VISCA BARCA!!!

Bayern vs Barcelona post match review

FC Bayern München 4-0 FC Barcelona
Thomas Müller scored twice as Bayern recorded the biggest victory in a UEFA Champions League semi-final game and closed in on a third final in four years.
FC Bayern München made giant strides towards a third UEFA Champions League final in four seasons with a memorable first-leg victory against FC Barcelona.


Barcelona didn't count in the offensive,Tito only did 1 change in the entire game,there was a big lack of ideas on barca's bench,and that is proven by the result and the poor game.Messi and Pedro were unrecognizable in the entire 90 minutes.
The score could have been bigger if the ref saw the 3 or 4 handballs in the penalty area,but as a compensation,Bayern had 1 goal from an offside position,and one after T. Muller intentionally obstructed Jordi Alba. 

Congrats to all Bayern fans,hopfully Barcelona will try a "remontada" on camp nou,but that will be almoust imposible.
