Unai Emery shown his ability with Aston Villa after his failure with Arsenal years ago. This season is a little regretful for Emery and Aston Villa because they actually can do better in Conference League. Very poor performances of all clubs in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League will raise a concern that Premier League and FA must change their season schedule to reduce pressure on players. In domestic cups, one knock out match can enough as it will help to prevent player exhaustion and injuries.

Thiago Motta is a young coach and has less coach experience than Unai Emery and what he has achieved with Bologna in this season is amazing. He is very similar to Xabi Alonso in Leverkusen and they both began their coach career in Leverkusen and Bologna last season. Now in this season, they started to gain early success for their coach career.

Time to see Xabi Alonso and Thiago Motta at bigger clubs will come soon. Xabi Alonso announced to stay in Leverkusen at least next season but future of Motta is unknown.

Aston Villa's outstanding performance is well-deserved, thanks to Unai Emery's incredible work since joining the club. He has truly shown his skill and dedication. Villa has played some of their best football this season. However, there's concern about how they'll perform in the Champions League next season, given their struggles in the Conference League.
while Thiago Motta has also had a remarkable season with Bologna. Their impressive turnaround last season has continued, earning them a spot in the Champions League next season. Qualifying is one thing, but representing well and staying in the Champions League is another challenge. Let's welcome them and hope they bring fierce competition.

Real Madrid is the best team in the world. Believe me, the Champions League is their home field. They're great at winning, they really are. However, Dortmund should not be written off; their run to the final is truly amazing. These Dortmund guys are young, hungry, and have a lot of ability. People, that hunger is a powerful thing. They might not have as much knowledge as Real Madrid. And Sancho is a great player who is in great shape and could really make a difference.

Now, when they play Real Madrid, they have to be smart and get it right every time. But who knows, maybe some luck will help them if they stick to their plan. The Champions League final is going to be huge, huge, huge. Anything could happen. I cant wait to see it, everyone. Very excited.

You could say this is the UCL Final between the Fighters Team vs the UCL Legends Team. Real Madrid, which has UCL DNA in the final, will no doubt meet a team whose quality, in my opinion, is below Real Madrid's. This doesn't mean to underestimate Dortmund, if only Real Madrid didn't have the nickname Final DNA which always wins, maybe people wouldn't doubt Dortmund about the quality of their players and their struggle from the group phase to the final. .

Just look at the group phase, underestimating them is Dortmund's strength. In the group phase, it was underestimated that Dortmund would not qualify because they were in the hell group, but the proof is that Dortmund was able to destroy the predictions of football observers to reach first place in the standings and in the knockout phase they managed to beat Atletico Madrid and PSG. This proves that Dortmund is a team that has a good mentality and performance. This final will still be fierce even though Real Madrid are favorites, so I don't think this final will be boring.

Madrid on pressure for Dortmund, I don't think so. Not saying they will under rate Dortmund but one thing I observe about Madrid all has to be about their self confidence. Madrid has been in the Champions league as much times and have faced even more tougher opponent compared to Dortmund, not going too far we can see from the fixture between them and Manchester city in the semi - final, that game called for a lot of tension might even say it looked very tough than what they have to face in the finals. Madrid are very much confident to win the match and if it later turns to favor Dortmund, not basically they were better but it was barely out of luck.

While waiting for the final match of the 23/24 champions league which will take place in early June, let's discuss two newcomers who have longed for this big stage in next season's edition of the champions league. These two teams are Aston Villa from England and also Bologna from Italy and each of them is having a shining season this season.

From Aston Villa, they last appeared on the big stage of the Champions League 41 years ago and for Bologna this is their return after 59 years. Of course, that's not a short number and they are certainly very excited to welcome the Champions League next season with everything they have. Unai Emery is indeed quite a genius coach and has handled big European teams several times until finally bringing Aston Villa here, while for Thiago Motta this is of course a historic career for him, bringing a mediocre team like Bologna to a big competition. How do you welcome these newcomers? Will there be interesting competition in the future?

Real Madrid over confidence for final match after winning in domestic league and Dortmund have defeated by Mainz over 3-0, currently Dortmund has advantage with domestic league left one match and get many days taking rest than Real Madrid has two matches left and taking one week recovery from their last match.
However, Madrid won the La Liga tittle and will make bigger rotation for two matches later against Villareal and Real Betis, Madrid want to win UEFA Champion League tittle and make completed achievement this season by winning domestic league UEFA Champion League.

Dortmund seems unfavorable teams for winning the Champion League but since knock out round have eliminated many top teams until the semifinal round won against PSG on home and away match.

This is not the first time the two teams have faced each other, this match will be the 15th for Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid in the Champions League. The last time the two teams faced each other was in the 2017-2018 season. In that meeting, Los Blancos managed to win 3-1 and 3-2 in two meetings with Die Borussen in Group H of the Champions League. This match is an opportunity for Real Madrid to win their 15th Champions League title in their history.

 Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund will be chasing their second title, after winning in 1996-1997. With this record, many predictions favor Real Madrid winning.

Madrid fans Madrid team management is confident as they are going to win the Champions League final match. At Dortmund, you will not see any stars who can beat Real Madrid's stars. Competition is unlikely to be even. But since it's the Champions League final, anything can happen here. Both teams will be under a lot of pressure and both teams will be thinking that somehow they have to do well in this big tournament so they will play with extra pressure and if ever the players make mistakes due to extra pressure then the result can go against. If Dortmund can go ahead with one or two goals in the beginning, then they will play defensively and then it will be difficult for Real Madrid to come back, so Real Madrid should definitely plan for these things and then enter the field.

If Dortmund can really beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final, I think it will be lucky because if I look closely, Dortmund doesn't have a very strong attack like Real Madrid, even when they beat PSG in the semifinals, in my opinion, it's not as good as Real Madrid when they beat Bayern Munich, which is really great dramatic. Luck or surprise factors can happen in football but we know how Real Madrid performed in the Champions League, he has good experience and Carlo Anceloti has a lot of smart tactics to defeat his opponents so with all Carlo Anceloti's hard work I think his club still has a bigger chance of winning. won the Champions League final.

Real Madrid this season was extraordinary, they were able to beat great clubs who were strong candidates in the Champions League, while Dortmund only eliminated underdog clubs from the round of 16 until reaching the final, so Dortmund was quite lucky this season. Even though in the end they failed to win the Champions League title, they still won so far it is quite appreciated that it is not easy to reach the final when most people do not really favor Dortmund in the Champions League, this season will be a season of pride for German clubs because the two big clubs have represented the semifinals and reached the final.(Bayern and Dortmund).

Of course Real Madrid is not an easy opponent, because I think they rarely lose when they reach the final. Dortmund will of course have a tougher job facing Real Madrid, the Champions League king, who also has a winning mentality. It's not easy for Dortmund to beat Real Madrid, but it's true what you said, football is about strategy and luck, if Dortmund are lucky maybe they can beat Real Madrid, but I don't think that will happen.

I don't think Dortmund can't beat Real Madrid, because they have been able to get to this point, it shows that they have quite good performance, and must be ready to face the king of the Champions League. There is no doubt about Real Madrid's ferocity, even though they are sometimes not good  in the second half of the match they always put dangerous pressure on their opponents, so that their opponents have difficulty I think Dortmund should be more careful, because what they are facing is not a team that is easy to beat.

after entering the quarter finals of the UCL, there is no word of luck because the whole team certainly wants to continue to qualify for the next round until the final round and Dortmund is one of the teams that never thought before could qualify for the final round but if someone pay attention to the pattern of the Dortmund match really looks consistent and from the play style of the Dortmund players looks very solid giving a perfect performance in every match.
we can see how Dortmund appearance when fighting PSG and that's when we just realized how aggressive and strong Dortmund appearance so that it is worthy of qualifying for the final round.

however, even though Dortmund looks strong and very solid, it doesn't seem to be ready enough to face Real Madrid which is really in very good conditions at this time without any weaknesses.
we can see how Madrid against Bayern Munich and in the match at that time Real Madrid could put a very good pressure even though only through the score printed by the second layer player Madrid had but that was proof that all Madrid players had very good quality.
we'll see whether Sancho who is currently being seeded can be ready to face Real Madrid and in my opinion Sancho is not too ready to face this big match.

There is no luck, everything happens because of hard work, what Real Madrid and Dortmund have shown is their hard work all this time, to get to the Final and fight for the Champion title, this will be an interesting match if we see Dortmund recently playing very well, especially Sancho is back in form and Dortmund has lots of fast players, this will be Dortmund's main strategy in attacking.

These two teams have come out as the best teams by making it to the Final, later we will see who comes out as champions, what we know is that Real Madrid very rarely loses when they are in the Final Champions, making Dortmund have to work hard to prove that they are ready to compete.
If we see that these two teams have different strategies, there will definitely be surprises that will happen. Both teams also have good squads. It's not surprising that something will happen in the final.

If we compare with a strong and experienced team like Madrid, Dortmund is a mediocre team. In terms of experience and squad, there is no doubt that Madrid will have the upper hand. But the Dortmund team is in good form now. This team was very tactical against PSG. And Dortmund's defense is strong enough. This is why there is no chance of underestimating the Dortmund team.

Moreover, the Champions League platform is always very competitive. Underdog teams often win against big teams. So while Real Madrid are in a strong position, I wouldn't say they are in a very safe zone. Defeating Dortmund is indeed difficult for Madrid now. And the final match will be very competitive. But I don't think we will see too many goals. I think both teams will play in defensive strategy.

Yes, it is clearly different, Real Madrid will meet team that has level of performance quality that is below them, but Dortmund will have to face team that is clearly the king of the UCL and has performance strength that really cannot be handled easily.
This competition will be final match that Real Madrid can easily win, we all know that performance assessments in the domestic league can never be used as reference for other competitions such as the UCL.
But looking at how Dortmund played in every match during this competition, they weren't really surprising or didn't show winning mentality, I think Dortmund performance was able to reach the final only because they were lucky.

I believe Dortmund will prepare everything and they will try their best to get chance but to beat Real Madrid even in home an  game is very difficult.
Moreover, this is match that will take place at England Wembley Stadium so the chances of Dortmund playing well are very small, victory is guaranteed to belong to Real Madrid.

Dortmund have to prepare well in tactics with multiple tactics for possible changes in the final match, then when they go to play the final, they have to fight seriously for chance to win the match. Luck is important but it won't come if Dortmund won't seriously play to defend their goalkeeper and to find winning goal.

Real Madrid are stronger and more experienced than Dortmund but with some shocks created by Dortmund in this season, they are actually coming nearly to a happy ending for an underdog. Real Madrid must analyze the adventure of Dortmund in Champions League so far and figure out what are weaknesses of opponent to exploit it in the final match.

Dortmund don't have to fear anything about Real Madrid, at the final match, they must be confident in themselves and take advantage of any chance to win it.

The atmosphere of the Champions League is very different from the Domestic League, meaning the players always work together to perform optimally to be the best in this competition. Dortmund will certainly be under pressure because they will face the team that has won the most UCL trophies. Terzic has certainly made effective preparations and strategies to stem attacks from Real Madrid. The players' mentality also needs to be improved because this match really determines who will win the trophy this season. The hard work of Dortmund players so far has led them to the final round, they must try to perform optimally to put pressure on Real Madrid.

If Dortmund's luck is with them, they can beat Real Madrid and qualify for the title, but performance-wise, they can never beat Real Madrid. Because of Real Madrid's performance from the start and their strong star-studded squad, they are not easy to beat when they enter the final. If Dortmund play according to their current performance, they will never be able to match Real Madrid. In order to attack and compete with Real Madrid, they must double the level of play they currently have. Although we can confirm that Real Madrid is the best team in the Champions League and they have enough experience in the UCL, the club has the best stars and they will definitely try their best to win the trophy. And if Dortmund plays like the semi-final, they will surely lose very easily, because the game they played against PSG was not exciting and aggressive at all. So I think we have to compete with Real Madrid the most and surprise otherwise Dortmund will never win against Real Madrid. But I believe that Real Madrid will definitely win this season and they are the most successful team and they have enough experience in the Champions League.

I agree with you because football is about strategy and there is no way luck will be enough in the final result. Dortmund and Real Madrid were much better prepared to play in the final and both of them did their best to qualify for the final with very satisfying results. Dortmund's task now will be much tougher because they have to face the king of the Champions League and facing pressure in the Champions League will be much different from the domestic league.

Of course luck is the biggest gift they get and that happens because of the hard work they have done so far. The focus is now on the two teams coming out as champions and we want to see how the two teams can play with more pressure in the final match, so that it doesn't get boring when we watch these considerations.

There are many factors that make Real Madrid the favorite to emerge as champions, while Dortmund is only seen as a club that by luck can reach the final.
In domestic competition, Dortmund did not show any significant changes at all and in fact they were only ranked fifth.
I still believe that Real Madrid will emerge as a candidate to win the Champions League this season because the opponents they face are much easier than in the previous few finals. Beating Real Madrid in the final is not an easy job because they will be quite dangerous when they enter the final.
