The German team had not reached this stage of the highest continental club competition for more than a decade, when in 2012 they eliminated Real Madrid in the semi-final round, and later faced Bayern Munich in the final, coming out defeated. of that meeting.
Next, we review the lineup that Jürgen Klopp used in the green at that time in the finals against Bayern Munich.
The German goalkeeper was debatable for Klopp. Already retired from football, he had very good seasons in the German team, his last campaign being 18/19.
The Polish full-back is still active, although, at 38 years old, he is playing the last stages of his career in a lower-class team in his country of origin.
One of the two members of a defense that was immovable for the German coach. He and Hummels formed a great duo that provided the team with defensive security and made it successful in those years.
One of the few survivors of that Borussia Dortmund. The German center back arrived from Bayern Munich and would later return to the eternal rival. Finally, he would return to Dortmund and is currently the undisputed starter in Edin Terzic’s team.
The German side finished off this brave defense. He is currently retired, although his contribution was key to the team’s success in those years. He ended his career last season.
The double pivot of the team was made up, on the one hand, of this German player, who currently plays in a lower category of football in his country. He brought more defensive rigor and balance to the team. Without a doubt key in those years for Jürgen Klopp.
The other member of that midfield was one of the team’s figures. Gundogan led the game and organized all the attacks. It marked his discovery in elite football. Later he would end up signing for Manchester City where he has also become an icon of the club. He currently plays for FC Barcelona, still performing at a good level in the top elite.
The Polish winger was indisputable on the right wing. To his great impact in attack, with great speed to overwhelm, was added his defensive contribution, making him a very complete and very useful player for the German coach.
The talented German playmaker provided that superior quality in the three-quarter zone. A different player who knew that with the ball at his feet he could do something different from the others. He currently plays in the top elite, specifically, for Eintracht Frankfurt.
One of the players who was called to mark European football for a decade. He formed a dream duo with Lewandowski. However, injuries hampered his career and prevented him from developing as expected. He is currently one of the survivors of that team, and continues to demonstrate his quality at Borussia Dortmund.
The icing on the cake of a spectacular attack. The Polish striker left during those years, which made him sign for Bayern Munich, where he triumphed with historic scoring seasons. He currently plays for FC Barcelona, where he continues to demonstrate his scoring voracity, although at a somewhat declining level.
