The fact that everyone is pushing their expectations to Real Madrid I think is a thing that Dortmund can actually get to capitalize on to getting a very stable and calm yet strong mentality to play against Madrid and be able to still getting the best off the game because they literally have almost no pressure on them to win the game but Madrid actually seem to be pressured tho it's not looking as such because they appear like the string side already.

It will be more of what people actually expected if Madrid eventually gets to win the game so there will be no needs for surprise LS or any one getting shocked how it happened but with Dortmund it's definitely going to be really difference because it will throw so many in to the euphoria of surprise how they were able to get victory over Madrid that was seen as been the ideal team with all their strength and depth yet they couldn't get to beat Dortmund who was actually seen otherwise and I think it will aswell serve as history in the game of football as such has literally not happened too often.

It will be for me very pleasing to see that Dortmund pulls up the surprise most persons are thinking they aren't capable of because it's going to give me that joy and fulfilment that my believe that anything can happen in football is actually a reality a d not that alone but the breaking of the norm that it must be Madrid been the top team that will most likely get to win the trophy will be at that point be broken.

For me, all I can say to Dortmund is that they will be able to play in the final, but even if they try, they will not be able to win against Real Madrid. That is just the truth, but what we will see is that Dortmund will try their best to see that they win, but even with their efforts, it will be very hard for them to overtake Real Madrid, so let us just accept that it will be somehow hard for them to still win, but we know that they will still try their possible effort. 

We will still have hope and see how the game will end, so to me, I will expect Real Madrid to win the trophy, and we will see how it will end because we have predicted that Real Madrid would win, but Dortmund can come up with a miracle. 

So when Dortmund reach the final it's a big achievement for them even if they fail in the Bundesliga maybe they don't care about the league anymore even if they lose and see poor form but focusing on the Champions League will be something more important for them to achieve even though many people hope to surprise in the final and it cannot be denied that Real Madrid is better than Dortmund.

We can only predict what the result will be, we never know how the game will turn out, I feel Real Madrid will dominate the game compared to Dortmund despite their experience in the final a few years ago.

I don't have any expectations, here I will bet on Real Madrid, their win ratio is high compared to Dortmund.

I think at this point it doesn't matter so much anymore what place teams are in their leagues. Dortmund realised a long time ago that they wouldn't achieve anything in the Bundesliga this season, so they focused on the Champions League and they did well because they reached the final. How the match will turn out is impossible to predict, I really want Dortmund to win this match, but Real are also very strong....

You are correct, but Dortmund will do everything in their power to win the Champions League because it will be a long time before they have the opportunity to qualify for the final. This season is Dortmund's best chance to win the trophy; Dortmund qualify for the Champions League every year because there are good teams in the league. I'm sure most fans are just praying Dortmund to win the Champions League because Real Madrid face big clubs in the competition and defeat them, and all the clubs fans are supporting Dortmund to win the Champions League final, let's see who will get the opportunity and win, but everyone just believes Madrid is the best club that is favourite to win the Champions League, Expect something to happen to several players on the pitch, giving Dortmund the advantage and winning the game. Ancelotti will field his entire squad against Dortmund because I am certain Ancelotti will not play in the match because some coaches will see Dortmund as a chip club, but any club that qualifies for the Champions League final is undoubtedly in good form and anyone will be serious about winning the game.

Next season's champions league is going to really interest me to watch because we will be having some teams like Leverkusen which to me is the best team in Europe this season.They have been unbeaten though out the season,and their records in the league is also super amazing. This is something we don't have to just neglect like that, because for a team to win all it's opponent without being defeated for once is really something rare.Xabi Alonso have done an incredible work at the club so far,and his effort will never go in vein.Before another manager comes to break his record at that club,it will really be hard for him.

I do not want to agree that Brussia Dortmund will not be in a pressure because they are already in the finals. What you are indirectly saying is that the best result for borussia Dortmund is getting to the finals. Initially I don't think that anyone expected that Dortmund would be here today in the finals of the Champions League, but here they are. Also it is fine that you say that they will be okay just reaching the finals because we have all thought that Real Madrid will become the champions of this season's champions league and not Dortmund. But there is one thing football has taught me and that is,  final must look like a final even if it is a greater team with a smaller team that is playing. If Ancelotti and his boys in one way or the other underrate Dortmund they would meet the biggest surprise of their life in that finals. However, it is also still clear that the favorite to win the finals is Real Madrid.

It is very natural for Borussia Dortmund to have feelings like that because any club that faces Real Madrid will definitely experience a lot of pressure, including Borussia Dortmund, they will also feel this way, because Real Madrid has quite a big strength in the UCL, even big clubs Bayern Munich and Manchester United. City alone was able to be eliminated by Madrid this season so Borussia Dortmund feels pessimistic but they still can't just give up because the possibility of winning can still be achieved if Borussia Dortmund tries harder and their mentality doesn't shrink when facing Madrid.

Since Real Madrid beat Manchester City, the Real Madrid players have become more enthusiastic and of course their confidence in winning the Champions League title has increased.
After successfully eliminating Manchester City, Bayern Munich became the next victim to be eliminated by Real Madrid and until that match, Dortmund did look proud to be able to qualify for the final round but was very depressed if they had to face Real Madrid who had better players than Dortmund.
There is still hope for Dortmund and what I said above does not mean that I doubt Dortmund because if they want to win the UCL title, Dortmund must be able to hold a draw until the match is finished and entering the penalty round which will change everything could be a big surprise.
The best result that Dortmund can get is just to end in a draw.

These two teams have done their best to be in the Champions League final, and each of these two teams has performed well. With Real Madrid itself being called the king of Champions, of course it will not be easy for Borussia Dortmund to be able to beat the team that has been called the king of Champions by football fans, but of course Borussia Dortmund will do their best with their match later, therefore I think this match It will be exciting, especially with Real Madrid fans, of course they will be very excited to watch their proud team, as well as Borussia Dortmund.

Even though Real Madrid is said to have a better performance than Borussia Dortmund, it does not rule out the possibility for Borussia Dortmund to beat them. Borussia Dortmund will certainly provide fierce resistance because they will not waste this valuable match. But clearly, in my opinion, Borussia Dortmund must prepare themselves well because the team they will face is a team that has a good history in the Champions League and is nicknamed the King of Champions.

There is less pressure on Dortmund and their players like this because no one expects to see a team like Dortmund beat Real Madrid and win the Champions League title. This can put them under less pressure while Real Madrid doesn't have this situation and everything is predicting them to win this match which can put them under pressure stress and pressure.
I think this can be effective in this match and this can be an advantage for Dortmund against Real Madrid to help them have a better performance.

 

Exactly! I am also seeing a potential win from Dortmund because they are not a small team as other people are seeing. Real Madrid is like a king in the Champions League because of their past record and they are the team with highest number of the Champions League trophies and they are very good in playing finals; but I don’t think Dortmund is scared of this final because they also have experience in the Champions league and can also make it to win because if we look at the Madrid team, we will see that they are not that good as they used to be just that they have less experience than Madrid.
Anything is possible, Dortmund can win the Champions League if they are not afraid of playing Madrid, but if they defend it will be over for them because Madrid have good wingers that can brake any defense.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid are considered favorites in this match. And Madrid are more likely to win the Champions League title than Dortmund. Because Madrid's overall performance is very good. At the same time, Madrid is the most experienced team in the Champions League. So we naturally consider Madrid as the favorite.

But I don't forget the 2021 Champions League final. Manchester City were in great form. Even then, a mediocre team like Chelsea beat Manchester City to win the title. So it would be wrong to say that there is absolutely no chance of Dortmund winning against Madrid. I would say 65% chance for Madrid to win this match and 35% chance for Dortmund to win.

I am not willing to underestimate Dortmund in this season's Champions League final even though the experience and depth of the squad is not as good as Real Madrid. Dortmund have their own way of dealing with pressure and they also have a good strategy for attacking and scoring goals. Dortmund have proven that and it is very unreasonable for them to feel pessimistic about the title being contested.

The possibilities or opportunities for each team will be different before and during the match. Averages would pick Real Madrid to win and be assured of that, but I think Bundesliga fans would back Dortmund to bring the Champions League title home to Germany instead of Spain. Real Madrid will certainly do everything to ensure victory, so the match will probably be very tough if Dortmund can match their opponent's game.

There will only be one team that will win the title, but I don't expect them to win it controversially. The referee and VAR must be very fair in officiating the match so that all decisions made do not harm either of them.

In the aspect of taking the finals more serious, I think Dortmund will definitely take it more serious than Real Madrid although both teams will be aiming to win the title but for Dortmund it will definitely be more treasured but that undeniable facts still remains that Real Madrid are the only team in the champions league that hardly ever loses a final match to their opponent so it will take Dortmund everything they have to actually work some magic that will bring a win to them.

I don’t think any team is less worried about the final or feels less pressure just because they are not favorites. Dortmund were not favorites in the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but this did not stop them from reaching the final.

Perhaps this final is even more important for Dortmund, because the likelihood for Real to reach the final again next season will be much higher than Dortmund's. So here we can argue for whom this ending is more important. I know that in every team there are players who can retire, such as Reus or Modric, by the way, Reus is definitely leaving the team, and Modric may still remain, so even in this aspect, a victory for Dortmund in the final would be a very important achievement.

Real Madrid is the team that has the most brilliant history in the Champions League and its players are also players who have a strong mentality. So I doubt it a little if you say Madrid will feel pressured against Dortmund. In my opinion, on the contrary, Dortmund even has to prepare everything to be able to crush Los Blancos' hegemony. Dortmund are not the favorites, so they should play freely and hope that luck will be on their side.

I don't think any team which is having spot into final of the UEFA Champions League are afraid of anything with they already beat Atlético Madrid in quarterfinal and then beats PSG into semifinal which give them good confidence for standing against giants of Champions League Real Madrid even things are all favourable for the Real Madrid but still we can expect good resistance from them which will give good football to watch for the soccer fans around the world.

We are having good difference of quality but still things are not easy for any team to have one-sided affair in this game Borussia Dortmund having good matches into group stage which they face the toughest sides from the difference league which give them good confidence and experience for having qualifying for the final of this season.

In terms of pressure, the pressure is now greater for Real Madrid, because they are carrying the burden of being trusted to win this match, while Borussia Dortmund are not receiving that much pressure because they are not the favorites in this match. That should be an advantage for Borussia Dortmund, because they will be able to play very loosely and whatever result they receive (lose) is the result that was previously predicted. If they can play carefree or play freely, then maybe that will allow them to bring out all their abilities in this match.
However, the problem is that the opponent they will face this time is an opponent who has a mentality that cannot be doubted, Real Madrid is a team that is very good at forming the mentality of its players, that is one of the advantages they have and it is rare for a team to have a mentality like that. Real Madrid.

The best thing which can help Dortmund is their defense as they are having three clean sheets into their last six games which is impressive job and their defense can hold any team with their approach which is working for them even things could be not easy for them while they will be played against Real Madrid but still we can expect them to give tough resistance which is their best option in this big final of the season.

Both teams are having Real Madrid having 2 draws and 4 wins in last three rounds and Dortmund having 1 lost with 1 draw and 4 wins with this all we can expect how things will be work into final game while both are on same level, but quality difference is clearly in favour of the Real Madrid which is already won the La Liga and Dortmund is having end of the season at the fifth spot in La Liga.

No team reaches.the champions league finals as feel reluctant because this is literally an international trophy that every European teams wish to win someday so for Borussia Dortmund to have the opportunity to reach the finals after about 11 years when they last reach the finals against Bayern Munich and they lost the final so they will possibly try to make a difference in this final even if they don't win the trophy but they surely gonna try their possible best. I don't see Borussia Dortmund being pessimistic in this finals because they have won the trophy before in the club's record so it won't be a surprise if they win Real Madrid on the final day.
