A Borussia Dortmund fan left an interviewer close to tears in a heartwarming moment in the build-up to the Champions League final on Saturday.
Dortmund took on Real Madrid at Wembley after a memorable and shock run to the final which included victories over Atletico Madrid and PSG.
Unfortunately for Edin Terzic’s side, they were beaten 2-0 by Los Blancos on the night as the Spanish giants lifted Europe’s elite club competition for a record-extending 15th time.
However, a moment in the build-up to the showpiece event has gone viral after a Dortmund fan had turned up to Wembley without a ticket.
In an interview with TikTok account ‘Robdidtiktok’, the supporter explained his journey to the game.

After revealing how much it would mean to him to be at the game, he was offered a ticket
‘I hoped to get a ticket today but there was no luck,’ he said as he looked devastated.
‘(Dortmund) it’s my heart club. It’s the best club in the world for me and I’ve been a fan since my childhood. It’s the best club.
‘It’s hard (that I didn’t get a ticket), but the game will start soon and I hope to see a good game.
‘It was everything for me (to go into the game).’
The interviewer, clearly taken aback by the supporter’s sadness and love for his club, then offered him his own ticket for the final.

‘We are six people,’ he explained. ‘OK but my friends, we are six people, we all travelled six people.
