UEFA Champions League: Ahead of the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid this Saturday, an unprecedented rush made Borussia Dortmund's media room burst at the seams.

Well, over 20 TV crews and an uncountable number of media representatives gathered in the container-like facilities for an international media day on the edge of the club's training compound in the city's northeastern suburb of Brackel to report on the final underdogs' preparations.

"Wow, I have never seen it that packed here," said Dortmund coach Edin Terzic with a smile. "That's what we wanted. We desperately wanted that do-or-die game."
