Bayern Munich will start favorites when they take on Borussia Dortmund in an all-German Champions League final at Germany.
Both sides have been extremely impressive in the Champions League this season, with Bayern cruising past Barcelona in the semifinals, and Dortmund doing just about enough to knock out Real Madrid.
Bayern will be extra motivated after losing the final dramatically at the Allianz Arena to Chelsea last season, and forward Thomas Muller believes it will spur the side on to glory against Dortmund.
"Last year's final won't have a negative impact -- only a positive one, because we're motivated," he told reporters. "Perhaps we'll be even more attentive in our work than usual, we certainly won't be giving things away -- I think it'll only sharpen our senses.
"We played very well last year but we didn't get more than one goal and that came in the 83rd minute. We didn't make the most of our opportunities and that's what cost us the trophy.
"The other players don't quite have the weight of experience as I have after the last two finals. I don't feel quite as nervous as I did in the last two finals, it's a normal Champions League match. Of course I'll start getting goose bumps but you need that. We're aware of what we're playing for here."
One of the most impressive players in Dortmund's recent resurgence over the past three years or so has been Mats Hummels and the defender, who was a major doubt because of injury, confirmed his availability and is confident his side can defeat Bayern in the final.
"We've got a fantastic opportunity because this team has been growing for a number of years," Hummels said. "It's the most fantastic story of all and we're not thinking about losing. This is the biggest opportunity we've had so far as a team, that's what we thought about in the semifinals and the quarterfinals. This was a huge motivation for us."
Mario Gotze, though, will not be fit for the final, which means he has played his last game as a Dortmund player, after agreeing a move to Bayern Munich next season. Bayern will again have to do without the services of Holger Badstuber and Toni Kroos.
