The first Double in the club’s history sends the fans into a frenzy of ecstasy peaking in exhilarating fashion at the Final in Berlin.

The final whistle saw players and fans alike melt into total joy. The BVB fans that had taken over the city in the build-up to the game dominated proceedings in the stadium, too. Their team, their champions were roared on as if the Signal Iduna Park had been transplanted to Berlin.

Norbert Dickel’s naming of the team prompted wave upon wave of tumultuous noise around the Olympic stadium. And with just three minutes gone, an atmosphere that few present felt could have got better, just did as Shinji Kagawa gave BVB the lead to kick-start Black n Yellow celebrations. The Olympic stadium was rocking.

The Bayern fans soon realised that only one team was going to be in control and so while Dortmund cheered, the Bavarian fans wept. The only time the game was anything like in doubt was a short period between the 25th and 41st minutes. The stadium held its breath as Weidenfeller charged out to stop Mario Gomez.

But yes, it was a penalty, and Robben duly dispatched the ball into the net with Weidenfeller, unlike in the Bundesliga weeks earlier, beaten this time.

A brief silence, then the passion, the noise, the support was back. If there is one thing BVB fans know how to do, it’s getting behind the team in adversity. With Bayern hinting at taking control, the Black n Yellow masses refused to accept that fact and they were rewarded with a second BVB goal. From then on, the euphoria was frenzied and continuous as people embraced, wept and laughed celebrating a historic, mad result.

When Franck Ribery made it 2-4 Borussia, both players and fans alike, scarcely wavered. Mitch Langerak, replacing the injured Weidenfeller was imperious, Robert Lewandowski’s hat-trick simply topping off a magical season for the Pole and Mats Hummels who, having scored a penalty was the first to charge towards the fans at the final whistle; this was a game that was only ever going to be won by one team.

For many BVB fans it was hard to take in. Five goals, and five consecutive wins over Bayern. Bundesliga and Cup winners, and a team full of records. All remarkable as was the party that was now starting and went on and on and on.
