It is mid-April in 2008, our BVB is playing the first German Cup final since 1989. Around 40 000 BVB fans went on board for a journey, colouring the wet and cold capital in blackyellow that weekend. The week before, we had been defeated big time. The 0:5 against our final opponent Bayern was actually overcome by a 1:3 home defeat against Hannover during the week. Shortly before the game we get to hear the rumour for the first time: Jürgen Klopp will replace Thomas Doll for the season 2008/2009. It is only a rumour so far, but it goes around quite quickly. We would rather be redeemed today than tomorrow. But first we are heading into the Olympiastadium. Supporting the team for 120 minutes. On the pitch there are: Ziegler, Rukavina, Wörns, Kovac, Dede, Kehl, Kuba, Tinga, Kringe, Petric, Frei. On the bench are: Bade, Degen, Kruska, Hummels.
