Comments before the Champions League final between Real Madrid vs Dortmund:
Real Madrid entered the Champions League final with a completely relaxed and fulfilled mood. They soon won La Liga, helping the main players to retain and rest. Regarding performance, Ancelotti and his team have reason to be confident, because their last defeat (in 90 minutes) was… 8 months ago with 47 unbeaten matches. The way Real Madrid eliminated both Man City and Bayern Munich shows how high quality and class the white shirt team is.
Although Real Madrid is slightly better than Dortmund, that does not mean they will completely dominate. Like against PSG, the German team prioritized compactness to prevent the opponent’s huge attacking threats. Therefore, this final match is likely to have a scenario where goals are scarce and Real Madrid can only win the cup thanks to a rare breakthrough moment.
Probable teams:
Real Madrid: Courtois – Carvajal – Rudiger – Nacho – Mendy – Camavinga – Kroos – Valverde – Bellingham – Vinicius – Rodrygo
Dortmund: Kobel – Ryerson – Hummels – Schlotterbeck – Maatsen – E.Can – Sabitzer – Adeyemi – Brandt – Sancho – Fullkrug
