Some of you don't know that Bayern Munchen, 2012-13 UEFA Champions League champions has a theme song, called Stern des Sudens, which translates from German to English as "Star of the South." Quite possibly one of the best football songs you enjoy that is related to football.

Congrats Bayern Munchen!

 

KINGS OF EUROPE!

 

2013 UEFA Champions League Champions! 

UEFA Champions League Final: BVB v Bayern Saturday!

Nine months after boasting two exceptional football (soccer) finals at London 2012, including the World Cup women's final rematch between Japan and the United States (US won that match), Wembley Stadium will once again be the center of the football universe!

Once again, the stadium will be the host venue of the UEFA Champions League final, an all-Bundesliga final between Bayern and BVB. This is the third UCL final for Bayern-Munchen within a five year span, and it has been almost decades since their last European title.

BVB is making their first final in eons, and this is the last appearance in BVB uniform for striker Robert Lewandoski, who is in fact transferring to Bayern after this match (there were rumors that he would go to English club Manchester United). Lewandoski has had a tremendous UCL for BVB as their leading goal scorer including a four goal performance in a match last month.

The final is once again LIVE here in the States on Fox, at 2pm NAEDT. Soon the UCL final no doubt will replace the EUROVISION as "Europe's Favourite TV Show."

Ooh So Close!

Even Bastian Schweinsteiger couldn't believe that he missed out on a crucial goal...

UEFA Champions League Final-Bayern/Chelsea Saturday

Find out Saturday as this year's Champions League final is played in Bayern's backyard, with the kickoff around 8pm local time (1pm NACDT). For the third consecutive year, the Champions League final will be once again free-to-air on Fox!
