On June 1st, BVB will face Actual Madrid within the Champions League ultimate. At non-public broadcaster RTL, individuals are in all probability extra more likely to preserve their fingers crossed for the Spanish.
The Bundesliga season is over, however a number of German groups have an opportunity of successful a title at worldwide degree. Whereas Bayer Leverkusen is combating for victory within the Europa League in opposition to Atalanta Bergamo in Dublin on Could twenty second, Borussia Dortmund and Actual Madrid will duel within the Champions League ultimate on June 1st.
With BVB, a German crew is within the ultimate for the Henkelpott for the primary time because the Corona match in 2020. At the moment, FC Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0.
Frankfurt’s happiness on the expense of RTL?
Now Borussia is combating in opposition to the Royals for the title. For Dortmund it’s the first worldwide ultimate because the 2-1 defeat in opposition to Munich in 2013. Like eleven years in the past, this 12 months the ultimate will happen at Wembley Stadium in London.
Ought to coach Edin Terzić’s crew surprisingly triumph, it might not solely make the BVB followers and outgoing former captain Marco Reus joyful. If BVB wins, the sixth crew within the Bundesliga – Eintracht Frankfurt – also needs to begin within the Champions League subsequent 12 months.
Whereas the prevalence of such a situation can be a monetary blessing for the SGE, the TV channel RTL would in all probability be extra more likely to hope for a victory for the Madrilenians. The rationale: If BVB loses, Eintracht would “solely” play within the Europa League. The non-public broadcaster owns the rights to the second highest worldwide competitors and, with the SGE, would repeatedly have a standard membership in its program that had already given it good TV scores previously. Frankfurt gained the Europa League in 2022.
No extra relegations at worldwide degree
If Dortmund wins the Champions League and Leverkusen wins the cup ultimate, the golf equipment proven on RTL can be TSG Hoffenheim (seventh within the Bundesliga) and 1. FC Heidenheim (eighth within the Bundesliga). Whereas the Kraichgauer would then be seeded within the group part of the Europa League, the promoted crew must play the Convention League playoffs.
What can be added: As a result of reform of the three worldwide competitions, “relegation” from the Champions to the Europa and from the Europe to the Convention League is now not potential within the present elimination battle. RTL would subsequently must depend on Hoffenheim and Heidenheim video games for a whole season – until the Cologne broadcaster opted for duels between non-German groups.
Neither Hoffenheim nor Heidenheim are more likely to be large crowd pullers – in distinction to Eintracht. No matter private desire, it must be comparatively clear which crew the TV station bosses are rooting for on June 1st.
