  • Story Text: German soccer fans gathered in London's Trafalgar Square on Saturday (May 25), walking around the tourist sights of Nelson's column and its fountain pools as they wait for the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium.
    Treble-chasing Bayern Munich face Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in the first all-German Champions League final hoping to make up for the disappointment of losing the showpiece match twice in the last three years.
    Bayern fans in red and blue mixed with Dortmund fans in yellow and black as they paraded their mascots around London.
    This was taking place under the watchful eye of the British police who were joined by members of a contingent of German police. Security is high after the murder of a soldier hacked to death in a busy London street on Wednesday (May 22).
