Madrid played out a goalless draw against Betis, to me I see that game as a goodbye match to one of the greatest midfielders in the world talking about Toni Kroos who would be retiring from club football and play his last international competition with Germany in the upcoming EUROs. I was expecting a battle with goals since they (MADRID) have won the league title and since they drew their last game, winning Betis would have been a better way to say thank you to Kroos but instead they played a goalless draw, that's making it 2 draws in a row.
If this is how we're going to see the 14 times champions league winners perform in the UCL final I don't think is going to end well for them because the German side are very hungry to get their hands on that trophy after they lost that opportunity against their rivals Bayern Munich in 2013, now I don't think is going to be same story. Madrid can be the favorite but Dortmund are going to get a win and I think they deserve it more than the Spanish side.
Real Madrid's draw against Real Betis was quite disappointing. Because the match took place at the Santiago Bernebeu. I hope Real Madrid continues to win when this team has to make beautiful history for Toni Kroos who will soon leave and retire. But even though Real Madrid did not perform optimally in the match against Real Betis, I still feel confident that in the UCL Final we will see Real Madrid's performance better. Because there is no way Real Madrid will waste the final match. And this team must give Toni Kroos the best farewell by winning the UCL this season.
But Dortmund is not a weak team. they are also a strong team in the Bundesliga. Even in Dortmund's last match in the Bundesliga, we saw Dortmund's very good performance by winning 4-0 against Darmstadt at that time. What I think is that Dortmund could make the final match continue until extra rounds or even the final round. because then Dortmund might have hope of winning.
Yes, it's a shame that as hosts, Real Madrid couldn't win against Betis, but of course in my opinion, Ancelotti definitely has a more important plan behind all that, namely that he will only focus on the UCL, which of course during that match, the Real Madrid players must be right. right in strong condition. Indeed, if you look at Vinicius, Bellingham is played, Real Madrid should be able to win easily, but Madrid is not playing optimally because of course Ancelotti is also afraid that some of his players will get injured, especially key players.
I personally also believe that in the UCL final Ancelotti's troops will definitely play well and will play to their maximum and yes of course Real Madrid will definitely give Tony Kroos the most beautiful memories if they become UCL champions this season. But to be honest, I didn't think that Tony Kroos would retire young when his performance had not yet declined, but of course I personally respect Tony's decision.
Dortmund is of course very strong and of course he who failed to win a trophy in the Bundesliga will definitely fight as hard as he can to win to become champions in the UCL and yes, the match will definitely be fierce, but I personally still believe that Ancelotti's troops will have the potential to win and become UCL champions.
