Dortmund - Real 4-1: Where are the BVB Players Now?

On June 1st the song “Are You Gonna Go My Way” will not only be a popular melody of American artist Lenny Kravitz, whose act will be opening the Champions League Final, but also the main thought of the players and fans as soon as they see the most coveted trophy in European club football on the Wembley pitch. Real managed to stun Bayern through Joselu’s brace to deny a repeat of the 2013 final, also played at Wembley and instead have given us a repeat of the semi-final clash of that year between them and Borussia.

Despite their recent successes in the Champions League against German opposition, German clubs have historically been kryptonite for Los Blancos, with Kaiserslautern, Hamburg and Borussia Monchengladbach all putting 5 goals past the Spaniards during the 80s. Eleven years ago Dortmund only managed to score 4 against the Spanish giants to win 4-1, which interestingly enough is the same scoreline achieved in 1975 by Derby County in their game against Real.

I might look like an idiot for saying this but I really believe that meeting Real instead of Bayern in the final is far more preferable for Dortmund and they stand a bigger chance of winning the competition. However, we are still a week away from the final and since I have nothing better to do let’s take a look back at where Borussia’s players from that 4-1 win are today.
