On the one hand, therefore, the Westphalians. The “yellow and black” will attempt to conquer the second Champions League in their historyto third final that take part. After all, they were crowned European Champions in 1997, when they beat Juventus 3-1 at Munich’s Olympic Stadium. On the contrary, in 2013 – and then at “Wembley” – they were defeated 2-1 in the “civil war” with Bayern.
A…crazy run this year for Edin Terzic’s team if compared to their presence in their domestic duties. And that’s because in the Bundesliga he occupied it 5th place (-27 from the champion Bayer Leverkusen), which, however, finally gave a ticket to the next Champions League thanks to this year’s excellent European course of the German teams (of course she also put her… little stone). Quite early, isn’t it? was eliminated in the “16” of the Cup from Stuttgart.
Nevertheless, Dortmund’s presence in the Champions League was diametrically opposed. It caused the first… noise by finishing at top of the “death” group (6th) with Paris Saint-Germain, Milan and Newcastle (3W-2I-1H).
At “16” he excluded her Eindhoven (1-1 away, 2-0 inside), while at “8” the Atletico MADRID and indeed with overthrow (2-1 away, 4-2 home). The big bang, however, came in the semi-finals, knocking out Paris in their second meeting of the season thanks to two clean sheet wins (1-0 home and away). In two games that the Parisians had six (!) beams (in total, her opponents in this year’s matches have found the crossbar twelve times). With a possible conquest, a place will be closed for the Club World Cup 2025.
On the other hand, the Madrilenians. The multiple victories of the institution with 14 conquests in 17 finals (!) -seeking to lift the… 15th mug with the big ears- and who have on their bench the poly victory as a coach in organizing, Carlo Ancelotti, with four trophies (two with Real and the same number with Milan). If nothing else, they have the… know how.
Real have already picked it up Spanish championship -36th in its history- finishing at +10 from Barcelona. Thus, he returned to the throne, while earlier in the season he also celebrated the Spanish Super Cup with imposing “four” (4-1) over the “Blaugrana”.
As far as the Champions League is concerned, it’s over first in the 3rd group, leaving behind Napoli, Braga and Union Berlin. Yes, he did absolute in wins (6/6), just as Manchester City in their own group were the only ones to do so this season).
At “16” he excluded her Leipzig (0-1 away, 1-1 home), while in the quarterfinals the City on penalties (3-3 home, 1-1 away in regular time and overtime, 3-4 on penalties). In the semi-finals he excluded her Bayern Munich with epic twist in the rematch of the “Bernabeu” (2-2 away, 2-1 home) – one of those that possibly only she can achieve in this competition – with two goals from the “golden” substitute, Joselou, from the 88th minute onwards. Therefore, Dortmund recommends the fourth German team to face this year.
Of course, there are also faces that attract attention tonight, for purely competitive reasons and not only. Among them, Mr Marco Royce who will compete for the last time with the Westphalian shirt, but also Toni Kroos who will hang up his shoes after Euro 2024. Already the fans of their teams have said goodbye to them in a particularly charged atmosphere.
On the competitive side now, Dortmund will not line up with fresh problems as the doubter Hey he was made available to Edin Terzic (of course Filkrug is expected to retain his position at the top of the attack). Thus, only the Bensebaini and Duranville.
On the contrary, there are issues in the Madrid camp. Specifically, Mr Lunin -main this year at the mercy of his two serious injuries Courtois– missed his team’s last three practices due to the flu. He will travel solo to London and will presumably be on the mission. In any case, however, the Belgian goalkeeper will be sitting under the posts, who has made four appearances since his return. Except also the, basic this year while they were available, Tswameni and Alabama.
Possible compositions:
Dortmund (Edin Terzic): Kobel – Rierson, Hummels, Sloterbeck, Maachen – Can, Sabitzer – Sancho, Brandt, Andegemi – Filkrug.
Real Madrid (Carlo Ancelotti): Courtois – Carvajal, Riedinger, Nacho, Mendy – Kroos, Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham – Rodrigo, Vinicius.
The referee of the match will be the Slovenian Slavko Vincic.

In case of a tie, there will be a half-hour case and, if necessary, the procedure of penalties.
The two groups they face each other for the 15th time in European competition, all of them were for the Champions League. Safis n Real’s supremacy with six wins, five draws and three defeats. They last met in the 2017/18 season in the group stage, with the Madrid side prevailing inside and out.
