BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s European Championship preparations are being disrupted by German teams’ success in the Champions League.
The Champions League final could see old rivals Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich meet for a repeat of the 2013 decider – if Bayern beats Real Madrid in the second leg of their semifinal on Wednesday.
Even a Bayern defeat would leave Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann without Madrid players Toni Kroos and Antonio Rüdiger for his team’s Euro 2024 training camp from May 26-31 in Blankenhain, central Germany.
The Champions League final takes place in London on June 1, meaning any Germany players involved will need to skip those Euro 2024 preparations.
Dortmund reached the final with a 1-0 win at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
Bayern’s team includes Germany internationals Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané.
