Ribery's team-mate Mario Mandzukic says that playing at Wembley will fulfil a lifelong dream.
The Croatian joined the Bavarian giants in summer 2012 and is eager to play in a Champions League final at the first time of asking.
"I can hardly wait for the kick-off. Since I hit my first ball, I always dreamed of playing a Champions League final - and I also dreamed it would be at Wembley," said the 27-year-old.
"Now my wish is coming true. I hope this is football's reward for me giving my best to it, with fair play and hard work.
"I think Bayern's greatest strength is their team spirit. I have played for a lot of teams but I have never experienced anything like it."
