Today Bayern plays a friendly against my hometown club Fortuna Düsseldorf. It's the last test game before the Bundesliga starts again. Of course I will be there at the stadium, it's the official opening game of the LTU-Arena, it will be sold out with ca. 52,000 people.
For those of you who have never heard of Fortuna Düsseldorf:
