Champions League: Bayern Beats Borussia 2-1; But Don’t Expect a New German Era

 

In the lead-up to the Champions League final, we kept hearing about the new era of German football as the perfect complement to that nation’s dominant economy. The final score tells a different story: the team with the fewest Germans won.
Bayern’s 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund’s ultimately overpowered side relied heavily on the big-spending Munich team’s foreign players: Dutchman Arjen Robben and Frenchman Franck Ribéry launched attack after attack down their respective wings and teamed for the winning goal in the 89^th minute when Ribéry got under a long pass and somehow slipped the ball behind him toward goal. It fell to the charging Robben, who faked past the last defender and then sent Dortmund goalie Roman Weidenfeller—who was magnificent all day—the wrong way before rolling the ball past him with his deft left foot.
Dortmund was chasing the game by then, despite leveling the score in the 68^th minute on a penalty kick by İlkay Gündoğan , after Bayern’s Brazilian defender Dante raised his knee into Marco Reus’s chest in the box. You could label it a generous call, but it  was Dortmund’s deserved reward for taking the game to Bayern from the start.
