Rails to the final: by ICE to the ultimate football moment | OneFootball

On May 31, thousands of fans flocked to the Bavarian capital of Munich. The reason: The UEFA Champions League final between Inter Milan and Paris St. Germain. A group experienced the journey in a very special way: on board a specially arranged fan express train.

Together with Mastercard, the official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, and Deutsche Bahn, a unique fan journey from Berlin to Munich was organized - an experience that united not only fans, but also influencers Sidney Friede and Niklas Wilson-Summer, and presenter Caroline Labes on board.

The centerpiece of the journey: an exclusive VODcast, which was recorded directly on the train and which the fans could follow live. While the landscape passed by outside, football was discussed inside. Caroline Labes hosted the VODcast, in which Sidney and Niklas, among other things, reviewed their personal "Priceless" moments from this year's UEFA Champions League season.

Niklas Wilson-Summer particularly remembered the Arsenal versus Real Madrid game and was impressed by Declan Rice: "The free kicks blew me away. I didn't know until then that the man could kick the ball like that."

The Barcelona versus Inter Milan duel also left a lasting impression on Niklas: "They remain extremely memorable." The fact that Inter Milan made it to the UEFA Champions League final is only logical for him: "They have shown in recent years that they can compete at the top level."

Sidney Friede shared the enthusiasm and had clear words for the competition overall: "It was an awesome season, because in every game it felt like anyone could win." He particularly praised the performance of Paris St. Germain: "They really play 90 minutes of good football. A young and awesome team, who now deserve to be in the UEFA Champions League final."

What remains is more than just a travel diary: "Rails to the Final" has shown how much football connects, not only in the stadium or when watching together, but also on the way there.

And for all football fans with a Mastercard, there's the chance to win tickets for a UEFA Champions League match in Germany every month, thanks to Mastercard, the official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League. You can find more information here.
