alcohol involved of course that makes it all the more difficult and i spoke to fans even before that by and munich one and most of them had told me that one stay when it would be so tempting that they would come out and celebrate and yeah it's just it's football emotions and when they take over they is there's absolutely no stopping them. i was a hearts hockey in a munich when i jonathan crane from d.w. sports a joins me here in the studio one of them talk us through the match yeah it wasn't quite the high scoring game that perhaps we were hoping for some people were expecting but it was no less exciting really as you'd mentioned before if you have chances in the 1st half very tight but it was kingsley. who made all the difference now he wasn't in the semifinal he was the only change that by and chance if that made for the final inspired choice by him the reason for that he said was because he wanted to come and take inspiration against his former club. he grew up playing

for paris sans mom believe it or not he's got the ocean at revenge and it's really been a big turn around for him he's had a lot of problems with injuries while he's been hit by munich in fact at one point a couple of years ago he said he was even thinking of retiring at the age of 22 because of the injury problems he's kept at it and he's got his reward delivering on the biggest stage of all as safe to say he is the man of the hour how big of an achievement is this for by and it's an incredible achievement really when you think about where they were at the end of last year november they lost $51.00 and the burden is they go against time for frank for they sack snicker kovacs they were in all kinds of trouble and it brought in hands he flicked the coach snowflake was anybody's 1st to be a stopgap just that to keep the seat warm until they got a bigger name in for the job but he kept on winning by kept faith and he really has turned the team around without really bringing any new players in he's got the best of the players that he had already the lights are on board saying and thomas millar people have written them off they've been they've been sidelined on the mic coco beach and flick has managed to get the best out of them that's now 29 wins and 30
1:05 am
gains after this final incredible run by on their own and i think it's going to get better and better for them in the future and we should talk also about the other side how disappointed you think yes here they will be massively disappointed because they really didn't leggo out of a bind to be honest in the game they didn't look like they were ever going to head around once had gone one nil up you know the lights of back pay and name such an expensive strike force will be very disappointed with that contribution don't forget this is the competition the peers do skits ariana's really want to win is why they spend hundreds of millions of euros on those players p.s.g. when the french league very easily they want all the domestic trophies in france that was the champions league that eluded them and it continues to do so and improve champions league comparing it previously is still not quite good enough jonathan came to thank you so much. well huge crowds

a resin low profile although it is thought that government security agents were in the crowd in civilian clothing filming faces trying to work out who was taking part in all of this there was extraordinary scenes with the end of the protest where i'm going to go flew over the crowd to his personal helicopter he then emerged from the helicopter wearing fatigues with a gun in his hand and temp show strength seems to have backfired many just as a laughing and seemingly i'm having lost their fear of this government. i think the sheer numbers just mean people feel safe there's a feeling that the government can't arrest everyone if 300000 people did indeed turn out today in a country of 10000000 that is just such a widespread movement that the government will struggle to put an end to this the situation is unchanged the reason no clear way out of the situation there is no process no dialogue the government refer. just to speak to the opposition so if we manage these protests we could continue. well as connelly reporting
