Both Dortmund and Real Madrid, no one needs to underestimate each other. Because they are both the best and strongest clubs at the moment, even though there may be stronger ones out there, but for now at UCL, they are both the best. Qualifying for the final round is not an easy thing, and it's not just because of luck. So, both of them will definitely give their best performance so that they can achieve the optimal results possible.

It's just that, if you consider the data, Real Madrid definitely has far more experience in UCL finals than Dortmund. And with this experience, with an experienced coach too, Real Madrid should have a greater chance of winning. However, once again, it is not an easy matter, in every match, especially the Champions final, there will always be a lot of things happening on the field throughout the match. Biak Anceloti and Terzic will definitely develop various strategies that are most fixed and appropriate to suit their position and that of their opponent.

There is always a chance for the weaker teams like Dortmund in the Champions League to see a miracle from them. Drtmoun was lucky so far because they were mostly playing against the weaker teams compared to Real Madrid. This reminds me of the last season of the Champions League when Inter Milan had easier games than Manchester City. That's why I think in the end Real Madrid is going to win another title in the Champions League after beating Dortmund.
But the bad news for Real Madrid is about their partner Aurélien Tchouaméni, it seems he got injured in the game against Bayern Munich and there is the possibility for Aurélien Tchouaméni to lose the game against Dortmund.

Dortmund cannot be looked down on too much, they’ve exhibited an exemplary display of performance from the beginning of the tournament till them getting to the finals of the competition. They wouldn’t have come this far to just allow Real Madrid to beat them and win the trophy easily. It is suppose to be a tough match that will be difficult for the both sides to even decide the winner as the match is going on. More favorable is Real Madrid because of how they’ve won the trophy several times and will look down on Dortmund as amateur. Dortmund can surprise us on that day but the probability of them winning is still low though. What I’m sure is that Dortmund won’t make it easy for Real Madrid to win and Real Madrid should not also be too cool on them thinking they can easily defeat them.

The Real Madrid team is definitely the strongest this season, and could win the crown in the final. But the Burussia Dortmund team is so strong that they are in the finals, the players of the Dortmund team will do their best to top them to victory. Currently Dortmund team is trying hard to win with Real Madrid team, but Real Madrid team has been collecting this crown since past they have taken home this title several times. So they will try in two teams to collect the crown, have come to the finals with great effort so will not let team lose easily.

City may even have a better squad but Real plays much better football strategically and although Pep is also a very good strategist he has not managed to beat Ancelotti. I think Dortmund's chances are even worse because Real is simply a real team for the Champions League and the individual players are also very strong and Ancelotti knows exactly how to let his team play.

Even if we all know a d are aware of the strength of Real Madrid over Dortmund, I don't think it's a fair one to underestimate how much they could achieve if they eventually get lucky, I'm very much aware in the fact that Real Madrid cannot come this far only to loose the game in a cheep manner to their opponent especially a final game which will get them to lifting the trophy they had played for all through the season.

Technically and on paper it's very clear that Dortmund isn't going to win the champions league but then there have been cases where every odd is against a particular tem and yet it still wasn't enough to stopping them from winning the game, Dortmund for me ha e tried to have been able to even get to this point because there were other top and bigger teams who were even more experienced than they were in the champions league but then they were still unable to win the trophy, they were still unable to even get pass group stage and some stoped at the quarter and semi finals so it's such a commendable height for Dortmund already.

I don't think they ha e come this far in the champions league before and if they have it's a very few times of which this may be the second or at most third so they have really tried and so winning the trophy shouldn't be a problem they will put upon their selves because in anyways they have still tried and will be seen as one who has in this league this season so far, for Madrid this is no new thing and thy can't wait to win.

The only excuse or respect that I would give to Dortmund now is because of the fact they are actually playing a final and despite the fact that Madrid outwits them in every way the facts still holds that it's a final and its never going to be easy between the two teams. But on paper and on the heart of every football fan world wide it's vividly clear that Real Madrid are already crown champions except football and it's wonders have to say otherwise.

For me, if you look at the two teams between Dortmund and Real Madrid, of course their journey to get to the final was quite difficult because Dortmund had quite tough opponents from the group phase to the semifinals. Likewise with Real Madrid, they had quite strong opponents but they managed to beat all their opponents. In the final round, of course both teams will play better than what they have shown. For Real Madrid, they have the mentality and have many players who are quality enough so that they will be quite the favorite to win the UCL trophy.

With Dortmund impressive performance in the Champions League, it is clear that Real Madrid must play more carefully because Dortmund wants to aim for a trophy for the second time in the Champions League. For Dortmund they have reached the final 3 times and in the final this season they will face a team that is strong enough so they have to have a neat strategy to beat Real Madrid.

Dortmund is not an easy team to deal with. The last time they faced each other was in 2017. There were two matches in 2017 in Champion's League, Real Madrid beat Dortmund in both of them but more previous matches were draw and in 2014 Dortmund beat Real Madrid. I think these stats aren't good indicators today because 7 years have passed and teams look very different with different players but now this is the final, very important match for both teams but more important for Dortmund because Dortmund have only won the Champions League once, in 1997 while Real Madrid won it many times. In 1 June, Dortmund will have to chance it for the second time and for the first time in 21th century. I think they'll be more motivated to win compared to Real Madrid but if coaches favour them, then there is nothing we can do to stop them from winning. I hope the game will be fair and not like we saw it against Bayern Munich. I hope Dortmund wins the UCL.

They are the best team in the world, so calling them the best team in Europe would be technically incorrect (although the meaning will not change since Europe is number 1 in football).

But I understand that you doubt Real Madrid? May I suggest that you think City are stronger than them (or anyone else)? The strength of the team is determined by the results: in the confrontation between Real and City, which can be said to have lasted for 3 years in a row, Real won a convincing victory, the overall score was 2-1 

Real Madrid have devoted most of their time for this champions league to the extent that even at some point when they had serious challenges they still overcame and move forward like the match they played against Manchester city, that match was more like a final because the both teams literally were the strongest in the champions league but still they were able to eliminate Manchester city. Now when they met Bayern Munich they almost lost hope if not for the late minutes goals that was scored by  Joselu that made them reach the final stage of the champions league.

Real Madrid have really made a lot of commitment for this champions league so it will be very bad if after all their efforts and resilience they were unable to lift the trophy so they will surely fight till the end so they won't give Borussia Dortmund any chance at all. on the other way round, checking at how Borussia Dortmund were able to make their way to the final stages they might still do incredible things that will marvel everyone so let us not also belittle them but however Real Madrid would not want to miss this golden opportunity after all they have done it severally.

Borrusia Dortmund managed to reach the final round after eliminating Paris Saint Germain who were more favorites in the semifinals. However, they still have to be alert because of Real Opponent Madrid has a strong history in the Champions League. Los Blancos have managed to win 14 Cup/Champions League titles throughout history, while Borussia Dortmund have only experienced the Champions League final three times and have only experienced the title once in the 1996-1997 season against Juventus. Not only that, Carlo Ancelotti, who plays the role of coach, also has an equally strong history. Don Carlo will be playing his 6th Champions League final in his career and he won 5 of them. But anything could happen in the final match. Borussia Dortmund's fighting spirit must be greater when facing a team with a strong history like Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid is a strong team, but Dortmund was able to beat them in the semifinals. The atmosphere of the Champions League final will make both teams equally under pressure, a balance of support from visitors is also expected so that both teams will fight for their fate without taking sides.

Real Madrid have a lot of final experience, they are the kings of the Champions League title, but who will guarantee that they win it this season?
Even if Real Madrid's chances are very high, the risk of defeat is still there and it should not be ignored. It is not always possible for Real Madrid to maintain its finals record by winning the title, it is possible to see Real Madrid succumb to other teams from a probability point of view.

The match isn’t going to be an easy one, but I will say a higher percentage of people believe Real Madrid will win the match. If I am honest with you, I am among the people who think Real Madrid are going to win the Champions League. I am not underestimating Dortmund or saying their performance isn’t good, but I just have the feeling that Real Madrid will win the Champions League. I am more satisfied with Real Madrid pattern of play compared to Dortmund. We can’t just conclude yet who will win the match till it’s being played, but the match is going to be a difficult one for both Dortmund and Real Madrid.

I agree with you, Dortmund is not one of the favorite teams to reach the final when there are 8 teams in the quarter-finals. Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and PSG tend to be favorites to get to the final, but Dortmund have proven that they can overcome all the challenges. Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and PSG failed in the end, but Dortmund has great potential to fail in the final when the opponent is Real Madrid.

I am very optimistic about Real Madrid's chances at final. Real Madrid have never lost in a Champions League final apart from the 1962, 1964, 1981 seasons, meaning they have won 14 titles from the 17 finals they have played in. Real Madrid will try hard to win their 15th title in the Champions League this season, they have a big chance and if they get it then big bonuses for all players and staff are worth giving.

Unfortunately yes, no one reviewed and it is obvious that after the match the result and especially the goal will not be reviewed, what is done is done. But I wouldn't be surprised if a similar situation happens in the final, the referees are very often on RM's side, let's see what happens, I will support Borussia one way or another

There is this one effect of football which I don't like and that is the fact that when it's very clear that someone is supposed to win and then the whole thing switches over a single minute and believe I have seen so many times this has happened but I don't know about Madrid because their winning mentality is just something else and if they get the to score first in that game then I think there is nothing can do.

When you are doing something you are used to doing everyday and you encountered a difficulty at one stage, what helps must of the time is your past experience and that's what Real Madrid has, so many of the players that were present in that semi final has experience semi final many times, Modric has literally been in most of the title Real Madrid has won and some new players are just determined to win. I look at the story of Joselu how he came to support Real Madrid in 2022 when he wasn't there yet in the club and see the incredible come back he gave Real Madrid against Bayern Munich.



Real Madrid can beat Dortmund hands down but there is this rumors going about Lunin going to be change with Cortois. I don't if this is true or rumor or perhaps Anceloti is trying to confused Cortois with them, I don't know but I think I prefer Lunin continue what he has started since the team has been winning all this while, he should take the credit for the golden glove.

I see that there are a lot of Madrid players who will definitely face their former team in the UCL, but indeed every Madrid player's mentality is in place to be a player with a steel mentality and not get carried away by their feelings when facing their former team, Madrid is a team that will definitely be UCL champions this season, their chances are very big and that cannot be denied.

Something is meant to be believed based on signs and the performance of a team, but to be sincere, I have never put it in mind that Dortmund will make it to the final, where they are now. and still, I have a higher belief in Real Madrid than Dortmund when it comes to who will go home with the trophy, so don't even bother much because, based on my belief, I don't think Dortmund will make it and win the trophy, even though they have a concrete defense. I know they will still lose it to the final, and what people need to understand is that Real Madrid are not PSG. If Dortmund made it against PSG, that doesn't mean they will still have that on Real Madrid, so let's wait and witness the game. But no matter what, I will never think that Real Madrid will lose the trophy.
