Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted relations between his club and Bayern Munich are far from cordial as the Bundesliga rivals prepare to meet on Saturday in a dress rehearsal for the Champions League final. With Bayern having already won the league and Dortmund second in the table, Saturday's match at Borussia's Signal Iduna Park stadium is no more than a warm-up for the Wembley final on May 25. But relations between Germany's top two clubs are strained despite the promise of a first European Cup showpiece involving two German teams.

Borussia Dortmund are hoping to have Germany midfielder Mario Goetze fit for the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on May 25, even though he tore a hamstring in the semi-final against Real Madrid. The 20-year-old limped out of Dortmund's 2-0 defeat in Madrid on Tuesday after only 14 minutes having torn his left hamstring, but Dortmund doctor Markus Braun has said it is a "realistic goal" to have him fit for Wembley.

There was widespread joy in the German press on Thursday as Bayern Munich's 3-0 win at Barcelona means the Bavarians will face Borussia Dortmund in an all-German Champions League final on May 25 -- the first time two Bundesliga clubs will contest a European Cup final. After Bayern had trounced Barca at Munich's Allianz Arena 4-0 in the semi-final first leg, Jupp Heynckes' side booked their third Champions League final in four years with Wednesday's second leg romp at the Camp Nou for a 7-0 aggregate win

The successful season enjoyed so far by both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund promises to give Germany coach Joachim Loew a few selection problems ahead of the two-match tour to the United States later this month. Germany jet off to the US on May 22 and will play Ecuador in Boca Raton on May 29 before the USA, who are coached by ex-Germany trainer Jurgen Klinsmann, in Washington DC on June 2.
