Both Dortmund and Bayern have played strong seasons. Dortmund after winning German championship twice in a row for the first time in years managed to play a big role in Champions League. The year of FC Bayern is beyond words to describe. They have been breaking record after record winning 91 of the 102 possible points in German Bundesliga and might be able to fulfill their dreams of a triple crown in Wembley. No matter what happens this Saturday night, a German team will win UEFA Champions League season 2012/2013.
Possible starting eleven
Borussia Dortmund are still worrying about a possible appearance of 20-year-old superstar Mario Goetze who torn a muscle fiber against Real Madrid in semi finals. It would be the last match for Dortmund as he will be playing for FC Bayern next season. Kevin Großkreutz might be playing on his position or Nuri Sahin could replace Ilkay Guendogan as defensive midfielder with him playing as number ten.
The appearance of Mats Hummels is not yet clarified either as he got a minor injury in the match against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on matchday 34 in Bundesliga. Dortmund´s team doctor however called Hummels´s Chances of playing in final “realistic”.
FC Bayern on the other hand have no problems whatsoever concerning the physical conditions of their players. The cruciate rupture of Holger Badstuber had been the only bad news in terms of injuries over the last week with Badstuber not even having been planned to play in Wemblery anyway. And this is how they could be playing on Saturday.
