Football fans will be in for the pinnacle of the season, when Borussia Dortmund meets Real Madrid in the Champions League final at 10 p.m, Saturday, at Wembley Stadium in the English capital, London.
The match is considered the top match of the season, which brings together two giants, in which the German team seeks to win its second title after winning the championship once in 1997. On the other hand, the Spanish Royal Club is looking forward to achieving its 15th title in the competition and strengthening its record as the Old Continent’s club with the most titles, and the most clubs in the world of winning continental championships. Borussia Dortmund is considered the surprise of the competition this season in the eyes of many, as it passed the most difficult group before defeating PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid and Paris to reach the Wembley final.
Despite the strong European performance, coach Edin Terzic’s team finished in fifth place in the German League. On the other hand, Real Madrid also made impressive performances on the way to Wembley, where they topped their group with a maximum of 18 points, and were on the brink of the abyss against Leipzig and Manchester City and Bayern in the playoffs, before reaching the eighteenth final in its history, and with it also a no less strong performance in the league that was decided early before its end. Real Madrid did not lose in 12 matches in the competition this season (won 8, drawn 4), but it is noteworthy that this is the first time he has reached the Champions League final without losing a match. On the other hand, Dortmund lost only one of its last 11 European matches (won 7, drawn 3).
