Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says neutrals throughout Europe will be supported his side against Chelsea in the Champions League final on May 19.
The even ticket allocations to both finalists mean Bayern cannot really expect home advantage to be clear in the stands of their Allianz Arena stadium, but Rummenigge reckons many neutrals around the continent will be rooting for his team.
Rummenigge: "Since Wednesday night, I have received an incredible number of text messages and emails from colleagues throughout Europe.
"They like that we are in the final with the philosophy that we have. They feel we deserve the title.
"And there are many non-Bayern fans who will be keeping their fingers crossed for us.
"Our team would deserve it because of the incredible will that they have.
"But I would warn against getting too euphoric and thinking that we have already done the hard work and now we have an easier game on our hands.
"For Chelsea, this is an incredible chance to end what has not been a really satisfying season with a huge success. We must not underestimate that."
