After the FA Cup win over arch-rival Manchester City, the Red Devils had a post-final bash which angered their employees. Manchester United staff were angered and frustrated by YouTuber IShowSpeed’s appearance at the party, considering they were not invited. Speed, real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr, was a guest of Alejandro Garnacho at the after-party at the Marriott Hotel in Mayfair but Mail Sport revealed the club’s non-playing staff was angry about it, simply because, they as the workers were not invited to the party. After all, we are talking about one of the richest clubs in the world. The totally opposite example comes from the town of Dortmund in Germany. Ahead of it‘s third Champions League final in history (first was in 1997, second in 2013), Borussia decided to invite all 519 club employees and the members of the children’s categories to the final game at Wembley. From the cleaning team to the managers, as well as from the U-12 to U-19 teams, they will travel to London with all their expenses paid. ✈️ Mit diesem Kader zum #UCLFinal pic.twitter.com/2QrypnWCsV— Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) May 31, 2024 The famous Borussia‘s fans will take the trip to England for the finals against Real Madrid with or without the ticket, which has gone up to around 14.000 euros in some situations! The famous Yellow Wall will be present as always, but ‘only‘ 25.000 of them, since that‘s the limit for each team (Real also got 25.000 for the Wembley, whose capacity is 90.000). The club had to organize a lottery for those tickets as the number of fans who applied was over 400.000! And the coach Edin Terzić was a fan once, as he watched both previous finals with his black and yellow scarf. “I was 14 years old at the time. Unfortunately I wasn’t in Munich where the final was played, but I watched it on a big screen in my hometown. The next day I was at the airport for the homecoming when they landed with my brother. I’ve seen the match back several times since and it was a very special day for all Dortmund fans” he said of his 1997 experience. In 2013, he made it to Wembley, where the game was played as it will be played on Saturday. 🇩🇪🏆 Borussia Dortmund INVITED the 519 club employees and the members of the children’s categories to the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL at Wembley.From the cleaning team to the managers, as well as from the U-12 to U-19 teams, they will travel with ALL EXPENSES paid. ✈️Even during… pic.twitter.com/ZZQShdGwtF— Football Factly (@FootballFactly) May 22, 2024 “My trip in 2013 was as a fan. Mats Hummels, Marco Reus, Nuri Sahin, Sven Bender, they were on the team bus. I was on the fan bus” he told Yahoo! Sport. “The city and the club are very closely connected with each other. If you ask anyone what colours are associated with the city, you will always hear the answer yellow and black. It’s a sort of reciprocity. The club represents the city, the city represents the club, and that’s what makes both of them so special” he explained in an UEFA interview. When you buy a beer for 80.000 peopleNow, Sahin is his assistant, while Marco Reus (35) and Mats Hummels (35) are near the end. Reus will continue his career in the USA, while Hummels admitted he is waiting for the final with Real to decide what to do. Borussia Dortmund is the complete outsider with no trophies in the competition, compared to Real‘s 14. But the German teams are always persistent and the players say they have a 50% chances, since it‘s only one game. They even have a sacred rule, says Marca‘s journalist who attended their training. “You play forward!!! If we give more than one touch, playing backwards is prohibited!” Terzić shouts at the training ground. They will play at full speed, just like they did against Atético and PSG and secured a win. The concentration also must be at 100% as they are facing a team who knows how to punish a mistake or a lack of concentration. And if the plan works, the city will explode. “If we beat Madrid, the city is going to be crazy, I don’t even want to imagine what’s going to happen” says Matt Hummels. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8136613##
