Quick trip to Berlin!
This time no museums, no galleries.
Just a boat tour on the river Spree.
Checking the new architecture.
It is pretty cool.
But what's up here???
Yes, the Dortmund fan club was in Berlin, too!
In the evening there was the DFB-Cup Final:
Bayern München - BVB
And that is why we were there, too.
Friend of ours was celebrating his round birthday,
and his brother cancelled in last minute,
so we jumped in. Well, flew in, and took a train back.
This cute boat was our vehicle on the water.
Check this, fans talking to each other,
in a beach club at the river Spree.
Of course, my seat number 11.
Great seats.
My pics mostly concentrate on atmosphere,
the action pics you have to google.
There they are, the yellow ones from the boats, busses, beach clubs.
These are the fans from Dortmund.
Bavaria traditionally in red.
These red devils were pre-celebrating at Alexanderplatz, we heard.
I guess a scarf is a must.
Celebrity chasing:
actress Maria Furtwängler,
Also known as Kriminalhauptkommissarin Lindholm in Hannover-Tatort,
of course supporting Bayern München.
PS. Her round bday will be soon: 13.9.
Celebrities also take selfies ... singer Lena Meyer-Landrut,
two rows behind us.
She won ESC a few years ago.
OMG, it's her half round birthday exactly today!
Let me introduce to you: football fans.
And check those conductors in the front!
Well, well, well, beauties and the beasts, or what?
I'm always amazed how organized and well equipped those fan clubs are.
Also the Bayern fans have guys in the front managing the "songs".
Hands up, baby, hands up ... !
German colours. Oh, what a show this football can be.
Red versus yellow.
I told you, look at that organized management.
Gegentribüne.
This is not allowed but still happens.
This really not allowed, to os dangerous,
and the smoke is real, really annoying.
Pep Guardiola's last dance.
Trainer of Bayern München is leaving Germany.
This camera was gliding over the field taking the best shots.
Full moon rising.
The match started at 20 hours.
We were at the stadium area after 17 hrs, had some dinner,
then entered the stadium more than an hour before the start.
And it was a long night ... 90 minutes match, 2 x 15 minutes extra time.
The goals were only hit at the penalty kick round: 4-3.
Bye bye Dortmund!
Well, red was the winning color but really,
what was the meaning of this Turkish flag in the VIP auditorium???
The winners 2016.
Bayern Munich won the final against Borussia Dortmund 4–3
on penalties, as the match finished 0–0 after extra time, to win their eighteenth title.
Wikipedia already updated.
I tell you, it really was a great show!
Golden rain!
Even the hanging camera caught some gold.
POKAL!
Midnite Curry Wurst, what else in Berlin!
Party party party.
Thanks JK including us in your bday party celebrations.
The Pokal Final was worth experiencing.
