At long last, the 2013 UEFA Champions League final is only moments away from kick-off at Wembley. London’s huge stadium will not be able to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of fans who applied for tickets. However, millions of viewers around the world will be able to watch the 2013 Champions League final live thanks to coverage provided by various sports networks.
Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Bayern MünchenThe two teams have met four times this season; both league encounters ended in a 1-1 draw. The sides cancelled each other out with their wonderful tactical play, with Bayern being the slightly better team in both encounters. Also, before Dortmund went on a sequence of beating…
Team NewsMario Götze will not feature in what should have been his last game in a yellow and black shirt. His injury against Real Madrid caused him enough damage to rule him out of the final. Götze’s apology will do little to soften the hearts of those fans who believe that the truth behind the long recovery time might…
Mario Gotze
The attacking midfielder is Dortmund’s youth product having joined the club at a tender age of eight. Despite his young age the dynamic midfielder has already made 116 appearances for his side. The 20 year old is currently enjoying his best campaign having scored 12 and assisted 14 goals this season.
However on the 23rd of April, Dortmund fans were greeted with heartbreaking news as rivals Bayern Munich decided to trigger the midfielder’s 37 million euros buyout clause, making the midfield prodigy the most expensive German player of all time.

The Premier League's wage bill and foreign TV rights both exceed the Bundesliga by far. Aston Villa and Arsenal combined pay more wages to their players than the two Champions League finalists combined. Individually the fourth placed side of the Premier League pays its players more than the Bundesliga champions and the finalist of three of the past four editions of the Champions League.
Regardless of the outcome on Saturday night, no one can deny the fact that Borussia Dortmund have made their mark on the 2012/2013 season. Back in 2008, soon after coming out of a financial catastrophe that almost obliterated their very existence from the face of German football, Die Borussen have worked their way towards a growth model that has perfectly been complimented by performance on the pitch.
It is quite astonishing to see a squad as blessed with talent as Bayern Munich’s not being able to get its hands on the Holy Grail that is the long-eared trophy given to the victors of the Champions League.
Bastian SchweinsteigerThe common mistake which journalists outside of Germany make is a rather simple one; they almost always tend to mention Bastian Schweinsteiger as the captain of Bayern. While he is not the captain, one can understand why they make this mistake. Without Schweinsteiger, Bayern is not even half…
1) UnpredictabilityThe Champions League was associated with a high amount of ball possession and some additional pressing in previous years. Dortmund completely changed this perception by doing unimaginable damage to their opponents with possession as low as just above thirty percent.
Their intense pressing was just too much to bear.…
The Big GamesThe Bavarian derby to be played this week will be the most important one of the season. Bayern will not be involved in it. FC Augsburg will take on Greuther Fürth knowing that a win will see them qualify at least for…
Fates to be decided in BavariaBayern and FC Nürnberg could both be holding the fates of two relegation battlers in their hands. Augsburg has done extremely well since the winter break but has recently wobbled. They lost 2-0 to SC Freiburg last week, thus remaining in sixteenth spot. This week, the task lying ahead of them is a mammoth one to…

Last season the calls for an all Spanish final at Wembley from the fans were huge. This was almost shameful, considering that there is no greater view than watching the home fans celebrate the homecoming of their team. Football was coming home; Bayern München was coming home; the Champions League was coming home. But somehow, somewhere, between Arjen Robben’s penalty miss and Didier Drogba’s fatal kiss, the trophy slipped under Bayern’s nose and traveled on a plane to London.
Bayern and Dortmund have already met each other three times this season. This meeting is set to be the friendliest of them all. However, there will be plenty of bad blood between the two even if it does not show through on the pitch. Hans Joachim Watzke clearly conveyed to the press that he will not be having lunch with Uli Hoeness and Co. any time soon. There will only be a ‘handshake’.
Matters of PrideBayern München will take on fellow Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund this week in a ‘preview’ of the showdown at Wembley. Neither side will field their strongest lineups after midweek exertions but everyone…
4-1 and 4-0 are astounding score lines in semifinals. Dortmund demolished Real Madrid thanks to Robert Lewandowski, following Bayern’s demolition job on Barcelona. However, the ties are not over yet. Many teams have pulled off seemingly impossible comebacks in the past. Barcelona in fact is one of them.
Miami Beach, Florida (April 28, 2013) – Millions of spectators worldwide will keep their eyes locked on their screen during Tuesday’s Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund match.

With LiveSoccerTV.com (@LiveSoccerTV), you can figure out where to watch Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, April 30, 2013.
Completing impossible comebacks is nothing new in the history of Real Madrid. The current side, however, is yet to ink such an achievement in the books of the UEFA Champions League. Emilio Butragueno branded Tuesday’s clash against Borussia Dortmund as ‘the match of the decade’.
The spirit ruling at the Santiago Bernabeu presently is one marked with faith to pull off a historic upset come Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Every area of Jose Mourinho’s squad will be tested – from the defence to the attack, from the physical stamina to the mental power. Los Blancos have done it many times in the past but what are the current team’s chances of recording a miraculous result against Jurgen Klopp’s perfectly trained Dortmund at the Bernabeu?
We look at a range of post-match quotes which illustrate Real Madrid’s belief that the tie ‘es remontable’ (can be overturned).
1) Pepe: “We did not start the match well. The important thing is that we can turn around the tie and get to the final. We have to think about ourselves. We played badly and we have to accept it, but there is still a match to go.”
Expensive mistakes can only be rectified through priceless perfection. Real Madrid will need to sweat blood at the Bernabeu to revive their hope of winning La Decima in 2013.

Robert Lewandowski scored four absolutely brilliant goals to ensure that his team takes a three goal advantage to Madrid. All four goals showed different traits of the Pole. His power, skill, calmness and excellence were all on display. The first goal was a display of strength and reflex. Mario Götze delivered a wonderful cross; Lewandowski wrestled Pepe off the ball and connected to score.
