| Jurgen Klopp Dortmund Manager |
Borussia Dortmund take on Wolfsburg
in the DFB-Pokal final this weekend, hoping to give head coach Jurgen
Klopp a triumphant send-off in his last game in charge.
Saturday's clash at the Olympic
Stadium in Berlin marks the end of Klopp's seven-year tenure, which has seen
Dortmund pick up two Bundesliga titles and one Pokal crown.
Dortmund also reached the 2013 UEFA
Champions League final, where they were undone by Bundesliga rivals
Bayern Munich at Wembley.
Klopp bid an emotional farewell to
Dortmund fans after his final home game last weekend - a 3-2 win over
Werder Bremen that sealed UEFA Europa League qualification.
It capped a remarkable turnaround
for the club, who were second from bottom at Christmas, before a resurgence in
the second half of the campaign saw them finish seventh.
And victory in Saturday's final
would ensure a tumultuous season ends on a high note, before Klopp's
replacement Thomas Tuchel takes over ahead of 2015-16.
Hoping to spoil Klopp's party,
however, will be Wolfsburg, who finished as runners-up to Bayern in the league.
Wolfsburg's players will wear
commemorative shirts on Saturday in honour of midfielder Junior Malanda, who
was tragically killed in a car accident in January.
Dieter Hecking's side played an
entertaining brand of football throughout the campaign, scoring 72 league goals
- including 16 for Bas Dost and 10 from Kevin De Bruyne.
Wolfsburg also had the better
of their two league encounters with Dortmund - earning a 2-2 draw at
Signal Iduna Park before a 2-1 home success in the penultimate game of the
season.
But despite their higher league
placing, sporting director Klaus Allofs believes the pressure is firmly on
Wolfsburg's opponents.
"We are in the nice situation
that we have nothing," he told reporters. "We are not under pressure.
"I believe that the pressure is
higher on Dortmund. But it is also quite clear that you want to win the title
if you come to the final.
"Participation is beautiful,
but to be able to then keep the trophy and exhibit for all time in the museum
would be great.
"This is no Klopp final, we do
not play against Klopp and Dieter Hecking does not play against Klopp. This is
a game between the teams of Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund."
Wolfsburg have made only one
previous appearance in the Pokal final, losing 3-0 to Borussia
Monchengladbach in 1995.
Dortmund, meanwhile, were runners-up
to Bayern last year and in 2012 defeated the same opponents 5-2 to clinch the
first double in the club's history.
That achievement will forever see Klopp heralded as a
legend at Dortmund, and the charismatic coach will hope for a fitting finale to
his tenure on Saturday

Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona: Catalans seeking second leg of treble
 |
| Barcelona Celebrating La Liga Trophy |
With one leg of a possible domestic
and European treble in the bag, Barcelona go in search of their second trophy
of 2014-15 in the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao.
Barca wrapped up the league title
with a 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid a fortnight ago, and Saturday's clash with
Athletic marks the first of two finals in as many weeks as Luis Enrique's side
steel themselves for a huge end to the season.
The following weekend sees them take
on Juventus in the UEFA Champions League final, but for now their attentions
are focused on completing the domestic double.
For one last time, Xavi will enjoy
playing at Camp Nou for Barca, although he and his team-mates will occupy the
away dressing room, and around 50,000 Athletic fans are expected to make the
journey from the Basque Country as they go in search of a 24th official Copa
crown.
Athletic are the second most
successful club in the competition, behind Barca's 26 triumphs, although it is
31 years since their most recent success - a 1-0 win over the Catalan giants in
1984.
The pair have met twice in the final
since then, with Barca running out 4-1 winners in 2009 and 3-0 victors three
years later.
Barcelona
midfielder-turned-centre-half Javier Mascherano was full of praise for
Saturday's opponents, who choose players solely from the Basque region.
"Athletic is an excellent team
and will make it very complicated," he said in quotes reported by AS.
"Maintaining the culture of
Athletic in global football makes them a special club. It's very interesting
that, despite the limitations, they continue to be so competitive.
"They deserve all my gratitude
for maintaining the philosophy beyond results."
Barca booked their place in the
final with a 6-2 aggregate win over Villarreal, while Athletic saw off Espanyol
3-1 over two legs.
Ernesto Valverde's side come into
the game in fine form, having strung together a seven-match unbeaten run at the
end of the league campaign to finish seventh, and midfielder Mikel Rico
believes that run stands them in good stead.
"If you have to choose a way to
reach a final, you choose to do it with a positive momentum," he said.
"This year we have been a team, with both good and bad long stretches.
"In the second half [of the
season] we have achieved 36 points and we finished in Europe, which was our
goal in the league. We only need to put the finishing touch with the Copa
title."
Athletic will be without Oscar de Marcos through
suspension, while Barca's Luis Suarez missed the last two games of the league
season with a hamstring injury but has trained with the squad this week

Sevilla seal second Europa League title in a row and place in Champions League after beating Dnipro in five-goal thriller
 |
| Sevilla Won Europa league 2015 |
He has a look of
Michael Corleone - and after masterminding this record breaking Europa League
triumph Sevilla manager Unai Emery may end up with an offer he cannot refuse.
The 43-year-old has
attracted admiring glances from the likes of Newcastle and West Ham and his
credentials were further underlined with this triumph in an invigorating Europa
League final.
After a morning on
which the story was the ugly side of football came a bedtime fairytale - a
five-goal thriller that displayed the beauty of the game.
At the end of 90
breathless minutes, Emery's Andalusians were lifting Europe's most handsome
trophy for a fourth time, overtaking Juventus, Inter Milan and Liverpool. A
second back-to-back success following those of 2006 and 2007 in a decade of
dominance. While the Europa League may be well and truly a second tier
tournament, a quadruple is a fine achievement for Spain's fourth-largest city.
This was not,
however, as straightforward as some had predicted.
Dnipro, from a land
ravaged by war, had not come to surrender. They had played each 'home' match
243 miles to the north west in Kiev in a momentous path to Warsaw's Stadion
Naradowy thanks to the crisis in the east of Ukraine.
In an arena that
resembles a circus big top, this was a dramatic final act.
Sevilla started on
the front foot and had an penalty appeal turned down by Martin Atkinson but on
seven minutes the underdogs were ahead when Brazilian Matheus found space on
the right and volleyed a precise cross onto the head of former Blackburn Rovers
man Nikola Kalinic.
Showing a composure
rarely seen at Ewood Park, the Croatian, who scored seven times in 44
appearances for the Lancashire side after signing as a £6million replacement
for Roque Santa Cruz, powered his header past Sergio Rico to send those in sky
blue and yellow wild.
Game on.
Sevilla, however,
were composed and patiently searched for a response. Former £20m Arsenal man
Jose Antonio Reyes, captain on what may have been his farewell appearance in
his second stint at the club, hit a low drive into the side-netting from 20
yards out before unorthodox Dnipro keeper Denys Boyko, all punches and leg
blocks, pulled off a superb full-stretch stop to prevent Pole Grzegorz
Krychowiak from levelling on home soil.
He could not do the
same moments later, however, when the burly Colombian Carlos Bacca laid the
ball backwards from a short corner and Krychowiak took a calm touch and
side-footed home to delight the locals.
The Ukranians were
reeling and Sevilla, roared on by the red corner of a bouncing stadium, soon
sent their opponents to the floor. Reyes, the man who failed to live up to the
hype for the Gunners, spotted Bacca’s run and played a measured 30-yard through
ball for the latecomer to calmly round Boyko and slot home. A bell-ringer of a
goal from the former bus conductor.
Dnipro rallied. Urged
on by around 10,000 noisy supporters, many of whom had tied the country’s sky
blue and yellow flags around their necks, they quickly dusted themselves down
and came again.
Pacy Liverpool target
Yevhen Konoplyanka, cut in from the left and hit a swerving effort which was
bound for the top corner until the intervention of Rico. The Sevilla keeper,
21, won his first Spanish call-up this week and showed why with a fine stop.
He may, however, have
questioned his positioning when Ruslan Rotan, the Dnipro captain, clipped a free
kick from the edge of the box over the wall and into the far corner for the
equaliser to cue more chaotic scenes in the stands.
Rotan, 33, revealed
he and his team-mates had dipped into their own pockets to pay for some
supporters to make the journey to Poland. His strike ensured many of those had
smiles on their faces at the half-time whistle.
Reyes made way on 58
minutes for Coke as Emery pushed the talented Aleix Vidal, who had been playing
at right back, further up the field. It made the difference.
The vibrant
Krychowiak almost instantly gave Sevilla the lead but could not force the ball
home in a goalmouth scramble while Martin Atkinson rightly turned down a
penalty appeal when Vitolo went down under minimal contact in the box.
The red tide could
not be stemmed however, and few were surprised when Bacca, released by a
delightful flick from a recovered Vitolo, fired the winner.
On a night for heroes
Matheus was a late casualty, taken off on a stretcher following a late clash of
heads with Benoit Tremoulinas leaving Dnipro down to 10.
Regardless, they
pressed with a series of corners but for them there was to be no wonder in
Warsaw.
Perhaps it was
fitting that their journey should come to an end in a city that knows more than
most about human suffering - and issues with the bad boys next door.
Emery, already with a
decade in management, will now have a decision to make.
He will be enticed by
the prospect of Champions League football next season - for the first time
handed out as a prize for the winners.
Sevilla’s win and
that qualification may well have prompted more groans at the end of a season
full of them in east London and on Tyneside.
