Real Madrid is considered superior to Dortmund in terms of its ability to win the Champions League this season. It is very difficult to have a surprise appearance at Wembley, especially when Real has the strongest squad and maximum focus.
Real Madrid is showing extraordinary strength in the Champions League this season. Los Blancos closed the group stage with a record of winning all 6 matches. But in the knockout round, Real Madrid showed even greater strength.
To advance to the final, Real Madrid defeated fierce opponents RB Leipzig, Man City and Bayern Munich. Looking back at the journey of Carlo Ancelotti and his students, the fact that they reached the final was extremely worthy.
Real Madrid are unbeaten in 12 Champions League matches this season. This is the 18th time that Real Madrid has reached the C1 final, but the first time that they have gone to the final match with an undefeated record.
Talking about experience, Real Madrid is also better than Dortmund. Los Blancos is the most successful team in Europe with 14 C1 championships in history. Real Madrid has also never lost a European Cup final since losing to Aberdeen in the World Cup in 1983. The last time Real lost the C1 final was to Liverpool in 1981.
Real Madrid’s form entering this match is also very good. Ancelotti’s teachers and students have been unbeaten in 25 matches in all competitions since losing to Atletico in the King’s Cup in January. Another positive point is that Real has scored in all matches away from home at the Bernabeu this season. This.
In terms of strength, Real Madrid only lacks Aurelien Tchouameni and David Alaba. Overall, Real has all the best cards for the Champions League final. The players are also extremely focused towards winning the 15th C1 championship in the club’s history. If Real is crowned, Luka Modric and Dani Carvajal will become the only players besides legendary Paco Gento to win 6 European championships.
The Champions League has always been a bright spot for Dortmund in this season of ups and downs. Not many people expected Dortmund to advance to the finals. But Edin Terzic’s team produced extraordinary performances, especially in the semi-finals.
Dortmund defeated a powerful PSG and even won both matches. More impressively, Dortmund also kept clean sheets in both of these matches.
Dortmund actually caused a shock right from the group stage. They fell into the group of death with PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle. After a painful opening loss to PSG, Dortmund was unbeaten in the remaining 5 matches and led its group. In fact, Dortmund only lost their opening match against PSG in this year’s Champions League. They kept 6 clean sheets in the next 11 matches, opening the score in 9/10 recent matches.
Unlike Real Madrid, Dortmund does not have much experience playing in the Champions League final. The last time Dortmund reached the C1 final was also a match at Wembley. In 2013, Dortmund lost to rival Bayern Munich 1-2 at Wembley.
Dortmund is definitely considered the underdog team in the next match, but it is also an opportunity for them to create a surprise. Dortmund often has problems against deep defending teams in the Bundesliga, but plays very well on the counterattack. The matches against PSG in the semi-finals really showed Dortmund’s excellent counter-attacking ability. But it must also be said that Dortmund got lucky, and they need luck to be on their side again to be able to shock a Real Madrid team that can adapt to every opponent thanks to the superstars in the squad.
