Bayern and Dortmund seek Champions League glory to kick off big summer of soccer for Germany
It’s shaping up to be quite the few weeks for German soccer.
The country is preparing to stage the European Championship over June and July, with Germany’s national team taking a nicely timed upturn in form.
Before that, Germany might yet be celebrating having a European champion once again, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund making up half of the lineup for the Champions League semifinals beginning this week.
The last time Bayern and Dortmund both reached the Champions League semifinals was in 2013 and they went on to meet in the title match at Wembley Stadium, with Bayern winning 2-1. As fate would have it, Wembley will be hosting the final this year, too.
Setting up a repeat of that 2013 final would mean upsetting the odds.
Bayern is up against another European heavyweight in Real Madrid, the record 14-time champion and king of the competition.
