- Story Text: Bayern Munich arrived at their central London hotel on Friday (May 24) as they make their final preparations for their Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium.
The players checked into their hotel before heading off for their final training session at the stadium in the evening.
The match sees four-times European champions Bayern face 1997 winners Borussia Dortmund in the first all-German Champions League final.
Jupp Heynckes side will be desperate to erase memories of two lost finals in 2010 and 2012 and reclaim their top spot by beating the team that forced them to go two seasons without any domestic silverware.
Last season's Champions League final defeat in Munich to Chelsea on penalties has been especially bitter to swallow but now the club stands before an unprecedented treble for a German club, who can add the Champions League and German Cup to the league title which they clinched in April. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
