Come the 25th of May and you would witness an all German final at Wembley. Yes, there has been a shift in power when both Barcelona and Real Madrid lost to the German giants Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund. The defending Bundesliga champions, Dortmund had a close shave when Real Madrid came close in the second leg scoring 2 goals out of possible 3 which would take them through to the Champions League finals. The aggregate score line was Dortmund 4 - 3 Real Madrid.
Barcelona suffered a 7 - 0 aggregate loss to their rivals Bayern Munich, which was the worst loss for the Catalans after their dominance for nearly 10 years. Barcelona once again proved that they were highly dependent on Messi who sat out of the second leg with an injury. The Spanish giants didn't even manage to net even once in their home ground, instead gave out an own goal in their home leg tie.
The shift of dominance could now move to Germany from Spain with both Bayern and Dortmund looking impressive. Quardiola would be taking charge of Bayern from this summer and they winning the Champions League would be a stunning welcome for the Spaniard and also to their current manager. With a possible Rooney move from Manchester United, Bayern and Quardiola would look to make a stiff impact and continue their dominance in world football.
Dortmund, the defending champions may have lost the league to Bayern but would like to lay their hands on the Europe's major title this time. With many of their star players performing they would be counting on for a title this time. Lewondoski, Godze and Rues could move out at the end of the season, and rumors say that Lewondoski has already signed a contract with a popular club and would be joining them this summer.
Whatever the result may be at Wembley, the German teams have managed to leave a mark this season and hope to continue their dominance for the years to come.
