As Borussia Dortmund prepares to face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final at Wembley Stadium, the excitement throughout Germany is palpable. “It looks like the whole country is black and yellow. Everyone is really supporting Dortmund,” said managing director Carsten Cramer in an interview with CGTN Sports Scene’s Mike Fox on Wednesday.
Cramer expressed his enthusiasm about the nation’s unified support for the club. “The country is in a good football mood, a new national champion with Bayer Leverkusen and two German clubs in the European club finals and then the Euros in Germany in the next two weeks. Germany was and is a big football country right now,” he added.
The unity and national pride surrounding Dortmund’s journey to the final highlight the cultural significance of football in Germany. As the nation rallies behind the team, the upcoming match represents more than just a sporting event; it’s a moment of shared identity and excitement that resonates with football fans around the world.
