Marco Reus: 'All-German Champions League final is achievement'

Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Marco Reus has admitted that both his side and Bayern Munich reaching the Champions League final is a big deal for German football.

Reus said that frequently facing Bayern in the Bundesliga will not make a difference on Saturday night as the Champions League final is an "exceptional situation".

"In the final, the two most successful teams of the season always meet," Reus told Sky Sports News. "With Bayern Munich we might have an opponent whom we know better than any non-German team, but for German football this is a big achievement, which is great.

"This match is going to be a final of a huge tournament, after which one team will lift the trophy and the other simply won't.

"This is an exceptional situation and all players will play at their absolute limit for 90 or even 120 minutes, which will make it very different to a normal league game."

The game kicks off on Saturday night at London's Wembley.
