en la final // finale dahoam...
This season, both Athletic and Bayern are going to play two finals. TWO FINALS.
Athletic will meet Atlético Madrid in the Europa League final on May 9th, and then on the 25th they'll play the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona.
Bayern will play against Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal on May 12th, and on May 19th there's the Champions League final against Chelsea FC.
I couldn't be happier and more grateful. The second legs of the semifinals were really really tough on my nerves, but the players kept fighting until the end, and so it was all worth it. Certain scenes will always be etched into my memory: Neuer's brilliant saves. The smile on Gomez's face. Schweinsteiger pulling off his shirt after his penalty and slamming his fist against his chest. The tears in the eyes of Llorente, Muniain and Herrera. The crowd at San Mamés, which proved once again that it is the best crowd in the world.
I'm endlessly proud of them all, the players, the fans at the stadium, everyone who helped Athletic and Bayern to get this far. I'm looking forward to two great finals. It's time to make more history.
