adminbeen told by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) that Dante, as well as defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo, must report for international duty before today’s deadline as Brazil prepare to host the Confederations Cup from June 15-30.
Both players are upset at missing the final, and Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has branded CBF’s standpoint as “inhuman, ruthless, unfair and unacceptable”, but only Dante would have started in Berlin.
No German team has won the treble of European Cup, domestic league and cup titles before, and Bayern are bidding to become only the seventh side in Europe to achieve the feat.
Only Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV Eindhoven in 1988, Manchester United in 1999, Barcelona in 2009 and Inter Milan in 2010 have previously achieved the feat.
Winning will be a fitting tribute to the team which won this season’s Bundesliga title. — AFP.
