The former manager has admitted that Bayern Munich are stronger than Borussia Dortmund and is looking forward to a great encounter
Ottmar Hitzfeld feels that it is great for German football that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have reached the final of the UEFA Champions League this season. Bayern downed Barcelona in the semi-final whereas Dortmund got rid of Real Madrid at the same stage.
The former Bayern and Dortmund manager claimed that the Bavarians have a slight edge over their rivals as they have great quality in their squad and have had an exquisite season as well. He is expecting a mouth-watering encounter and is confident that the fans will not be disappointed with the game.
?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. I believe that Bavaria are the slight favourites, but both meet at eye level,? he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former tactician added that it is exceptional for Dortmund to reach the final as nobody had expected them to beat the likes of Malaga CF and Real Madrid.
?Dortmund reaching the final is sensational [but at Bayern] the situation is different. One team craves the Champions League and after losing two finals, one team just wants to go win the match,? he continued.
On the other hand, the current Swiss national team manager added that Pep Guardiola will have a great squad at his disposal when he joins the team at the end of the season. He added that the former Barcelona manager ticks all the boxes and will be a great success at the Bavarian club.
?He can look forward to taking over an intact, world-class team that he can continue to develop and can bring many titles,? he concluded.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will face each other on May 25 at the Wembley Stadium in London. The Reds have reached their third Champions League final in four years and have lost on the previous two occasions to the likes of Inter Milan and Chelsea.
