Intro:

The UEFA Champions League trophies are handed over in Berlin, Germany on Monday (27th April).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (German) Karl-Heinz Riedle, UEFA final ambassador:

"It's four excellent teams and no matter who will reach the final, it will be a great final for Berlin. I don't really see a favourite, for Barcelona against Bayern it is a 50-50 chance for both. For Juventus against Real, probably Real is a favourite, because Juve wasn't really convincing in the last two matches, but we know that Italian teams always come back if it really matters. So, it's going to be difficult."

SOUNDBITE (German) Wolfgang Niersbach, president of German Football Association (DFB):

"(on semi-final) In this phase of the competition, with that high quality, the small things will be decisive. It is a fifty-fifty situation, but of course I hope that FC Bayern will make it."

SOUNDBITE (German) Wolfgang Niersbach, president of German Football Association (DFB):

"In any case, this will be a match watched by a billion of TV spectators worldwide, and the stadium is sold out in any case, but of course it would be special if FC Bayern accomplished to beat Barcelona at the semi-finals. It would be the famous icing on the cake."
