Countdown to tonight's Champions League final
LatestMadrid-based daily Marca unsurprisingly features the only Spanish representative at Wembley tonight - midfielder Javi Martínez - prominently in its final build-up. "Go and win it Javi," the publication pleads, before explaining: "The Navarre native left Athletic Club in search of titles and his first season at Bayern could not have been more fruitful. Having already won the Bundesliga, the 24-year-old could lift a historic treble should his side win tonight's UEFA Champions League and the German Cup next Saturday.”
The publication also says that the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2012 winner with Spain "is performing strongly in his preferred position in the engine room in midfield," and that he "has been one of the pillars for FC Bayern in the UEFA Champions League this season".
Marca also features an interview with former West Germany international Bernd Schuster who describes tonight's final as: "An enormous match between the continent's two best teams which will take place at the extraordinary and mythical Wembley." The former FC Barcelona, Real Madrid CF and Club Atlético de Madrid player also had high praise for Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp, of whom he said: "When I was beginning to coach in Germany, he was finishing his playing career as a right-back with FSV Mainz 05. He is a really nice guy who has clearly grown a lot as a coach. What has happened with his Dortmund team is no accident but the fruits of the hard work put in by a very good tactician at a very organised club."More»
