From the special reporter "Vijesti"
The grand final of the Champions League is being played by Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, and in the "final before the final" - in the fan competition of the fans of two big clubs, on the streets, in the pubs of the big city, on the stands of Wembley itself, the absolute victory was won by the army of fans painted in yellow and black.
Perhaps it was a slightly "unfair" match, a duel in which the winner was known in advance - Borussia, at least in the recent football era, plays a match like this on average once every 15 years, Real almost every other season. For the fans of the "millionaires" this was a long-awaited holiday, for the "Merengues" - a spectacle they were used to.
Well, even though the stands at Wembley were painted white and yellow in equal proportions, on the day of the final it looked like there were Germans in town - at least five more.
Borussia fans occupied all the important "points", Hyde Park was bathed in an endless, yellow mass, and when the monument of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, on Baker Street, received a Borussia scarf - the party could begin, it was time to go to stadium.
Train carriages on the Metropolitan line of the London subway shook with the song of German fans - of all ages, but Real Madrid also responded - in a joking tone they reminded their rivals that they have 14 European championship titles.
The spectacle was in full glory, without the slightest incident. The final of the Champions League at the mythical arena - in the country where football was played according to written rules for the first time - really went flawlessly.
That these are not insignificant claims is also shown by the BBC report, which states that the preparations for this match lasted more than 18 months, that over 2.500 security guards were in charge of order, all with the aim of not even accidentally repeating "the day of the national shame".
That's exactly what the English media called the last game of this magnitude that was played at Wembley, the Euro final between England and Italy in July 2021, which was marked by shenanigans, fights and rampages of all kinds of Proud Albion fans. From morning till night...
This time a different picture - Wembley of all flowers and colors, the biggest match, the most beautiful game.
Peđa Mijatović, Montenegrin legend and Real legend, was quite optimistic in the morning before the final at UEFA's "Marriot" hotel when it comes to Madrid's chances, while all Borussia fans - including numerous grandparents dressed in yellow and black jerseys - had a different opinion. expectations and dreams.
"One of them" - Jurgen Klopp, the legendary Borussia manager, received a huge applause from the Yellow Wall when his image, from one of the boxes at Wembley, appeared on the big screen.
And when Leni Kravitz ignited the atmosphere like I did at Jazz 15 2007 minutes before kick-off, everything was ready for football fireworks on the banks of the Thames.
