Jupp Heynckes hopes that the 'footballing gods' are smiling on Bayern Muunich in the Champions League final this evening.

Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes is confident that his team can achieve Champions League glory at Wembley this evening.

The newly-crowned Bundesliga champions take on arch rivals Borussia Dortmund after a stellar domestic campaign which saw them finish 25 points ahead of Jurgen Klopp's side.

Heynckes believes that a match between two German teams in London will create a "unique" atmosphere, adding that he hopes the English capital brings Bayern more luck than Madrid and Munich did in 2010 and 2012 respectively.

"I know what my team can achieve," Heynckes told reporters. "I've always thought we could win this competition. We have an extraordinary team and they play as a unit. If we can draw on that, we're going to win.

"Wembley is a place with tradition in English, European and international football, and that's a particular incentive for players, to be in such a venerable location for a Champions League final.

"The atmosphere is going to be unique. Maybe another city will bring us luck. Last year we were the better team and perhaps the football gods will be on our side this time."

Bayern last won the cup in 2001.
