Football competition featuring top European clubs - Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp backs Borussia Dortmund during their London visit.

During the Champions League final between Dortmund and Real Madrid, the trainers' stand saw a familiar face among the cheering crowd. Jürgen Klopp, former coach of Borussia Dortmund's last top-class final team in 2013, made an appearance on the big screen an hour before kick-off, much to the delight of many Dortmund fans. Klopp (56) was the man at the helm during Dortmund's loss in the same location against Bayern Munich back in 2013 and has since coached Liverpool FC, England's top club. After leaving the Reds, he is planning for a year-long break.

Unfortunately, Champions League legend Ottmar Hitzfeld (69), who guided Dortmund to their only UEFA title success in 1997, failed to show up for the festivities in London. Instead, he chose to watch the match on television from the comfort of his own home.
