Champions League Final


The Champions League Final was big this year for Germany because both teams were German: Bayern Munich vs. Dortmund. We decided to go try and watch it at the movie theatre because we actually wanted to watch it (we heard the bars would be overly crowded).
I'm pretty sure I snuck beer into the movie theatre, although I initially thought it was normal because beer is cool just about anywhere in Germany! They were checking bags but there was a crowd of 100-200 people waiting for them to open the gates into the football match theatre, and it was kinda like rushing the field after Ohio State beat Wisconsin at home a year or two ago :)
Most of the people in the theatre seemed to be Dortmund fans. I just wanted to see a lot of goals, regardless of team.
Oh, and I thought it was particular that about 95% of the theatre stayed around to watch the trophy presentation. I feel that back at home, the majority of people would have left straight after the game ended.
I was also very surprised at first when the announcers introduced the game in German. I had forgotten I was in Germany for a second!!
Bayern won 2-1. Robben scored the winning goal at about 85 minutes.
Waiting to get in. There were probably 100-200 all packed together like this.
