Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp believes the all-German Champions League final at Wembley will be a "special" occasion.
.
Klopp's team face Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Saturday.
.
The match will be the first time two German clubs have contested the final of either the European Cup or Champions League.

"The club could have ended as a fiasco. Instead, it has risen from the ashes" Jurgen Klopp
.
"This is a special game. It is the perfect place against the perfect opponent," said Klopp.
.
"If this is my only final and I die in 60 years, it won't have been so bad."
.
Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze, who will miss the final with a groin injury, is to join Bayern this summer but Klopp has backed his club to deal with their best players moving on.
.
Japan international Shinji Kagawa left Dortmund for Manchester United in June 2012 for an initial fee of around £12m, while Gotze will go to Bayern for 37m euros (£31.5m).
.
Klopp, 45, said: "Football is a religion in Dortmund. Bayern may have won a lot of fans and a lot of trophies because of the incredible number of good decisions they have made, but now there is another story. Along has come another club that is pretty good as well.
.
"We do have money to get good players. But there are other clubs who can spend more money. We have to take a different position."
.
That is because in 2005, just eight years after their only Champions League success, Dortmund almost went bankrupt, a situation Klopp knows will not be allowed to happen again.
