FC Bayern: Generation Wembley

On April 8, 2009, FC Bayern is already down 0:4 at halftime against FC Barcelona. The euphoria that was great after the signing of new coach Jürgen Klinsmann is no longer palpable. On the contrary: In order to live up to its claims in the Champions League again, FC Bayern has to reinvent itself once more - with active support from the Netherlands.

After initial problems, the team has internalized coach Louis van Gaal's vision and can once again stand up to the best in Europe in 2010, culminating in the final against José Mourinho's Inter Milan. The following season, Bayern's engine starts to sputter again, causing unrest in the club and the surrounding area. But a new opportunity emerges for an almost forgotten star striker.

With a new and at the same time tried-and-tested coach and a newly signed world-class goalkeeper from Gelsenkirchen, FC Bayern wants to get back to the top of Europe and the Bundesliga. But in Dortmund, a team is developing that is not content with second place. It is the birth of a rivalry between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund that continues to this day.

The Champions League final will be held in Munich in 2012 - FC Bayern's big goal! In order to become the first club to reach a CL final in their own stadium, the Munich team must defeat one of the best teams in the world in the semifinals - Real Madrid with José Mourinho as coach. The duel with the royals will go down as one of the most dramatic semifinals in the history of both clubs.

It's May 19, 2012, the Champions League final. Munich. FC Bayern meets FC Chelsea. The whole city has been in a state of emergency for days, FC Bayern is well prepared despite some suspended stars. Everything is set to make this day the biggest in the club's history. It should become the worst...

After the most bitter season in the club's history, the team has to get back up - and does so in impressive fashion. At the end of a historic season, FC Bayern is actually in the Champions League final again. In London, at the legendary Wembley Stadium. Opponent: BVB. For the generation around Lahm and Schweinsteiger, this game is about much more than the trophy.
