Berliners are in a bit of a bind this week. What do they do on Saturday night, when Bayern Munich play in the final of the Champions League? Sure, they can turn a blind eye, pretend that nothing's going on and go shopping at Lidl at Ostbahnhof. After all, everyone hates Bayern - right? Especially if you are from Berlin. The capital's biggest club, Hertha BSC, has been relegated to the second division this month. For Berliners this football season is over, basta!But hang on, this is the first time any German team has come close to winning anything in the last 10 years. In fact, if you are a football fan - or even if you're not - this game is a no-brainer. Bayern is playing great football, they have a charming coach with a haircut from the 1950s and they're up against the arch enemy, the Italians. Surely, it's time for Berlin to get behind the boys in red and white and cheer them home.... anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
