The upcoming finale of the Champions League. - Klopp Observes in London: BVB Fans Fervently Cheer Him On
During the Champions League final match-up between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, former Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp (56) was seen on the big screen at Wembley Stadium in London. This appearance drew a warm response from many Dortmund fans present in the stadium at around 7pm on Saturday. Klopp responded by raising his fists in the air and waving to the fans.
Interestingly, another previous Dortmund coach, Ottmar Hitzfeld, the man who led Dortmund to their sole Champions League victory back in 1997, declined the club's invitation to attend the game in person. Instead, Hitzfeld opted to watch the game comfortably from his television.
Of note: While Klopp was the coach when Dortmund last reached the Champions League final back in 2013, Hitzfeld was the one to lead them to their shining moment in 1997.
