Real Madrid actually deserved the finals, after getting passed two tough teams which included Manchester city and Bayern Munich to get to the finals at this time, it's been a really tough journey for Real Madrid and I don't think it's been any easier for Dortmund so it will not be fair to say they Dortmund didn't get to face rough ga es because it was actually the fixtures they gave them they played a d they were able to win till this point so they deserve some commendation too.

Dortmund was able to defeat PSG twice without PSG getting to score a goal again I think that's a good victory enough to show that they actually got some form of strength and aswell did performed well enough to be commended. Actually Real Madrid has been really hard working this season as they have already gotten a trophy which is their domestic league a s they are not going bro let the champions league slide not when they have been able to get to the finals, I have Hadley seen a case where Madrid lost a champions league final not even one with a team that's considered in the average they are going to miss.

Dortmund is definitely going to try their best and if they get lucky it's going to be of Great excitement and on the record they they were able to win the champions league at a point, and they will be seen as a top class team after this but their challenge will be in their midfield as Madrid has got a good and strong midfield that will be able to get the ball concentrated around Dortmund goal area just like the way PSG did so they will need a more rigid defense to be able to stop Madrid which I doubt they will succeed at.

Regarding the mental affairs of the Champions League, Dortmund already knows that Real Madrid are the experts but even so there is no other way but to face everything in every way that the Dortmund players can do. If I'm not mistaken, Dortmund has an agreement with Madrid regarding Jude Bellingham contract where the proposal is that if Madrid can win the La Liga or Champions League title, they have to pay around 30 million Euro as a bonus. So because Madrid has succeeded in securing the La Liga title, Dortmund will automatically be able to take the compensation bonus next season. This has nothing to do with it but even if Dortmund loses in the final they will still benefit, especially if they can win the UCL.

Bellingham ghosted in the semi final to be honest, if he doesn’t play well in the final he shouldn’t be anywhere near Ballon d’Or, the biggest players turn up in the biggest games.

Real always seem to find a way to win even when they are not favourites. It’s clear they are not the best team in Europe but here they are again, in the final. Neuer made an awful mistake and the whole tie swung in Real’s favour.

I will be supporting Dortmund in the final, it would be such an amazing achievement if they win it, whereas with Real this is just business.

but have you ever thought that if Bellingham was originally at Dortmund and now joined Madrid, surely Bellingham knows Dortmund weaknesses. have you ever had thoughts like that?
I think about it so that this will make it easier for Madrid to get the UCL title because if Bellingham becomes a professional player, he won't notice that in the past he was a teammate but now the situation is different he must be able to contribute to Madrid to be able to get the UCL title and Bellingham will also get a good reputation if Madrid wins.
of course, while he is at Dortmund he will not be able to score a bigger score, whereas currently with Madrid, Bellingham has become more talented because his teammates have great experience in various competitions and old players such as Toni Kroos, Vinicus will definitely provide support and provide experience that can increasing the quality of talent that Bellingham has.

on the one hand, Bellingham has a very close relationship with Vinicius, so Bellingham is slowly developing a great mentality because he is always supported by Vinicius.
Real Madrid is a team known for its strong solidarity between its players, so Bellingham will continue to improve its talent to become one of the best players that Real Madrid has.

Real Madrid's experience is much better than other clubs and it is difficult to beat Real Madrid if they reach the final. Dortmund is not a strong team in the Champions League and it might be a little tougher to face Real Madrid because this season they are in pretty good condition. Dortmund's squad depth is also inferior to Real Madrid's, so in terms of team strength they are also inferior to Real Madrid's.

The referee has his own view in looking at the conditions that occurred and even though there is a little controversy, it has been considered. The final match will be quite tense where Dortmund will again face the Spanish king who has a lot of experience in the Champions League.

I think Bellingham will be quite professional, despite his past, but now the team he plays for is Real Madrid and of course he will give his best for the team.

Real Madrid being able to reach the final is not a big surprise because this team has been the favorite since the start of the season, but Dortmund was a surprise because no one thought that Dortmund could reach the Champions League final this season and also Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga was also not the same. impressive this season.
However, whatever it is, the CL final match will always be fierce because the best team has eliminated other top European teams who have managed to reach this point and the final match always presents a match with high tension so that it will be quite difficult for all teams even though they are favorites, the same goes for This season for Real Madrid to win their 15th CL title, it will not be easy for them and Dortmund should be wary of this because it is also possible for Dortmund to make another surprise.

First of all, I would like to congratulate Real Madrid and Dortmund for making it to the Champions League Final and especially for the Real Madrid player Bellingham who will meet his old club in the Final match, of course there are mixed feelings for Bellingham, but on the other hand, he has to play professionally as a player.  football, talking about the H2H of both Real Madrid and Dortmund 2017 where Real Madrid beat Dortmund with a score of 3-2 and Dortmund only won once with a score of 4-1 in 2013, so both are equally strong in every way but if  The league in terms of players is very different in my opinion, Real Madrid will be very dominant in the Final match. With the presence of players who have experience such as Lucas Vázquez, Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos, it will already be a threat to the Dortmund squad.

Real Madrid entered the final with a lot of hard work and competition, beating strong teams to secure the final. But the opposite team Burussia Dortmund team they entered the final after defeating slightly less powerful teams. PSG competed against Dortmund, while Bayern performed against Real Madrid. If I compare here, then of course Real Madrid is a very hardworking and strong team, so when it comes to the final match and the performance with the Borussia Dortmund team, the Real Madrid team will perform very aggressively.

You are right. I just remembered that Bellingham originally came from Dortmund from 2020 until last season. And yes, this will be a match that will bring Bellingham together with his former colleagues on the field. but this time Bellingham will be the opponent for all his former colleagues at Dortmund. This will be very interesting. But when Belllingham was at Dortmund he was not very productive. But after joining Real Madrid, Bellingham became very productive. At Dortmund he only scored 12 goals in 3 seasons. But at Real Madrid Bellingham has scored more than 20 goals if I remember correctly.

from the look of things, we've already played the finals with Bayern munich and this finals won't be a serious knot to crack to be honest. I know that Dortmund has a very intense attack that could be a serious treat to the real Madrid defense but with the likes of rudiger nacho and Alaba at the defence, it's definitely going to be an hard knot to crack through for the Dortmund side.

If vini jnr is able to bring the kind of intensity we saw him play with against Bayern Munich into this finals which I'm very sure he will do so, it's certain that Madrid has already won the ucl before the game starts. But then, this is football, there ain't any need to underate any team. Football is magical, the least team can come out to win the supposed stronger team but from a realistic point of view, it's all showing that what we will end up seeing is a usual scenario where real Madrid will eventually emerge the winner of the tournament and they wouldn't do it in a stressful way but will comfortably defeat Dortmund. Would definitely want to see what Jude Bellingham would want to put forward against his former club.

There is no more experienced team on the Champions League platform than Real Madrid. Comparing between Dortmund and Real Madrid is stupid I would say. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid will be considered hot favorites in this match.

But on the Champions League platform, we often see the underdog teams win and surprise everyone. None of us expected a team like Dortmund to qualify for the final this season. A few seasons ago we saw Chelsea unexpectedly qualify for the final. and won the title. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens this season. But Ancelotti is very experienced. He will take all necessary measures to defeat the Dortmund team.

A comparison of Real Madrid and Dortmudn's mentality in the UCL Final will definitely be very useful. Because Real Madrid is far superior and far more experienced in the UCL Final. Even in terms of performance, we can see that Real Madrid is indeed better. So there is no doubt that Real Madrid is the favorite in the UCL Final this season. Dortmund might just be like Inter Milan last season. Where they were ultimately defeated by the superior team, namely Man City. But I don't want to underestimate this team. because I see an advantage that Dortmund has is that they are good at taking advantage of the opportunities they get. But of course I will favorite Real Madrid. Because I think the difference in strength between the two can actually be slightly visible even from now on.

Real Madrid is trying to regenerate its squad this season by continuing to bring in young players, the arrival of some young players must of course force Madrid to release some old players, currently Modric is of course one of the old players they let go while Kross looks like he will indeed be projected for another season as a player who might be able to share experience with young players next season,  Ancelotti is starting to try to build a third volume of Los Galaticos so I think they are starting to target and gather a standout young star player to fill every line in their squad next season.

Kross and Modric have been putting all their abilities into Madrid for a long time, so indeed they deserve to be honored as living legends of Madrid today, next season we no longer see Modric in Madrid midfield because indeed Madrid have decided to no longer renew the contract, and reportedly there are currently several clubs that are indeed in talks to sign Modric as a free agent next season so I Think it is very likely that Modric will play in a league that is not as tight as La Liga later.

In my opinion, perhaps coach Tuchel takes advantage of Choupo-Moting's height to hope for fixed situations. But replacing Kane is not reasonable. I admire Coach Tuchel's talent. But clearly, his decision to replace people deserves criticism. Kane at that time was still an extremely dangerous threat to Real Madrid's defense. Bayern Munich always tries to score in counterattacks. Kane is extremely suitable for this.

This is the first time in 12 years that Bayern Munich has fallen without a title. Another sad season for Harry Kane, although his achievements are remarkable: scoring 44 goals for Bayern Munich in all competitions. Even if Bayern Munich has a rare "empty" season, Harry Kane still deserves to hold his head high. There will be no curse here for such an excellent player. Kane still has plenty of time to conquer titles. With strong potential, Bayern will sooner or later return for revenge next season and of course, Kane is still the core of that plan.

I won't blame the coach for his changes after Bayern Munich took the lead in the 85 minutes of the match, most coaches will do the same, there was only few minutes of play left and definitely he will have to bring in fresh legs and turn to a defensive mindset. If not for the bad officiating of the match in the dying minutes of the game, Bayern Munich did exceptionally well. You can't go all attack again after getting a 1 goal advantage and the time wish winding down already. For me there is no point in blaming the coach, he did his job very well and most of us here if given the opportunity we will do the same. It's quite unfortunate that most of the decision went against Bayern Munich, but am proud of the Munich team, they gave real Madrid a good fight.

We don't need to doubt the mentality that Real Madrid has, especially if it is a final match. From the record of those who managed to advance to the final several times, their record of winning in the final was almost perfect, only a small percentage of them failed to win in the final.
Their opponents are Borussia Dortmund who are considered no better than Real Madrid, so their chances of winning again in the final match and winning their 15th title are increasingly open.
Yes, they were the best team when they were in the Champions League, they were the most successful team in this competition by winning 14 times. Their current strength is also very good, they have very reliable players. Even though they are still young, they can answer the trust of a coach.

A win in regular time came by Real Madrid as expected but I wish it didn't end debatefully. It was a clear mistake. No matter it was offside or not the problem was raising the flag very early. 

Anyways I wouldn't like to discuss this in detail anymore after 2 days passed. Congratulations to Real Madrid! I believe they were still the deserving side with their impressive game.

There hasn't been any Real Madrid - Dortmund finale in the CL so far. I wonder how things will go while Dortmund are also on a really good run. Honestly I don't expect Real Madrid to waste this title chance. They can finish it in regular time. 

Behind Real Madrid's progress to the final, there are a number of questions regarding the neutrality of the referee's leadership in this game. Overall, the referee's bias towards Real Madrid was not apparent, but there were several decisions from the referee that were very detrimental to Bayern Munich. The referee's most controversial decision was when Bayern Munich scored the equalizing goal through Matthijs De Ligt kick in the 90+13th minute. If you look at the replay, the goal was valid because not a single Bayern Munich player was caught offside.

The referee should not be able to ignore the rules in making decisions regarding Offside and the line referee does not need to rush to raise the flag as a sign of offside because if it is considered that the incident is still unclear, there will be VAR which can help the referee make a fair decision without harming any party. This incident reminds me of when Real Madrid beat Barcelona in El Clasico some time ago when the referee did not review Var on the goal scored by Lamine Yamal, but whatever happened on the pitch the result of the match could not be changed and Real Madrid managed to qualify for the final.

What happened to Bayern Munich this season is not Harry Kane's fault as if he was unlucky because since his arrival Bayern Munich have failed to win any titles and failed to defend the league title they have won for years. Harry Kane has done his job well, he has performed well in Bayern Munich and created many winning goals for Bayern Munich so how can he be blamed for all of them when he himself still performs well and contributes the most so the one who is to blame for all of this is everyone whether all the players and also their coaches lack good chemistry and lack of cooperation with good, so Bayern Munich didn't show their best, apart from that, Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga was also quite impressive. Maybe that's what dampened the mentality of the Bayern Munich players.

In the Champions League itself, Bayern Munich has tried hard to reach a better level but who would have thought that they would have to face Real Madrid in the semifinals, whoever the club faces Real Madrid will definitely experience a lot of pressure because Real Madrid is a club that is difficult to beat in the Champions League. So Bayern Munich also can't do anything if they end up being beaten by Real Madrid even though they have tried hard to get the Champions League title.

Yes, Bayern Munich's failure in the UCL and Bundesliga cannot be blamed entirely on Hary Kane. Because if you look at his performance at Bayern Munich this season, you could say he is a very productive player compared to other players. So blaming Hary Kane for Bayern Munich's failure in my opinion is a very big mistake. Because we need to remember that a football team consists of 11 players who compete on the field, so the team's failure certainly cannot be blamed on just one player. Therefore, in this case, Hary Kane does not deserve to be fully blamed for the failure that befell Bayern Munich.

Apart from that, Bayern Munich's performance this season is actually not too bad. Whether it's in the UCL or in the Bundesliga. The reason is that in the Bundesliga Bayern Munich managed to become runner up, apart from that in the UCL, Bayern Munich actually almost qualified for the final round. Especially if, for example, in the second leg of the semifinals, the referee's decision regarding Bayern Munich's equalizing goal in the final minutes was not considered offside, I think Bayern Munich could have beaten Real Madrid and qualified for the UCL final.

However, because the referee deemed Bayern Munich's equalizer to be offside, Bayern Munich ultimately failed to advance to the UCL final. And in the end, after the match was over, the referee who led the match realized that the goal was not offside and finally apologized to Bayern Munich.

So from here I can conclude that Bayern Munich has a very good performance. Even Real Madrid had difficulty keeping up with Bayern Munich's game. However, because Bayern's defense was a little less good and the referee was less careful in making decisions, in the end Bayern Munich failed to advance to the final UCL.
