PRINCE WILLIAM reckons Bayern Munich will triumph at Wembley in tonight’s all-German Champions League final.

The royal football fan predicted the tournament favourites will beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 as thousands of fans flocked to London yesterday.

Last night German supporters were packing out bars, clubs and restaurants in the West End with publicans reporting “a friendly and happy atmosphere”.

And FA president Will confirmed he was also looking forward to the big match.

He said: “My money is on Bayern Munich and two-nil,” and added that it was “truly special” to see England hosting Europe’s biggest football showpiece in the FA’s 150th year.

He went on: “Events like tomorrow’s match inspire through their excellence.”

William was speaking in London at the Uefa Congress as he met Fifa president Sepp Blatter, 77, for the first time since England’s failed 2018 World Cup bid three years ago.

Uefa chief Michel Platini, 57, gave Wills, 30, a football for his baby, due in July.

Bayern are 2-5 favourites and Dortmund 7-2 for the final, which Ladbrokes said will see record UK betting for a Champions League match with no English sides.

Spokesman Alex Donahue said: “The German giants have whipped punters into a frenzy – and Brits are backing Bayern.”
