European Football Premier Tournament - In London, the BVB supporters are primed for the big game, sporting yellow and black attire.
In the lead-up to the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium (9 PM, ZDF and DAZN), Dortmund and Real Madrid supporters flocked to London. The city's center and spots like Kensington, Hyde Park, Westminster, and Paddington saw a surge in BVB enthusiasts.
Yellow-black London double-decker buses became a familiar sight on the city's streets, as Dortmund fans sang fan anthems, wearing jerseys, scarves, and special final T-shirts. As early as the afternoon, fans had descended on Hyde Park for a special fan meeting. Despite this, few Real fans could be spotted.
Apart from the noise and visuals, Dortmund coach Edin Terzic anticipated a fiercely devoted crowd, stating, "I'm certain the atmosphere will be not only vibrant but also very loud." Julian Brandt remarked about Dortmund's role as underdogs, saying, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. We can only capitalize on this if we have our fans here; if we observe the impressive turnout."
Each team was allocated 25,000 tickets for the game, with Wembley Stadium holding nearly 90,000 spectators. Approximately 60,000 BVB supporters are predicted to be in attendance.
London's BVB fanbase has rented Willesden Football Club's stadium, which is near Wembley Stadium, for two sizable fan parties over the weekend. The first one, held on Friday evening, saw 600 fans attend. The second one, on Saturday evening, will likely host those without final tickets. Reports suggest that London's public transportation system will be inundated with fans this weekend.
