Luck also plays an important role in football. Dortmund was luck in the match against PSG which was the semifinals because Mbappe two shots hit the goal post which would have given PSG an equalizer. In the second leg, the same thing repeated itself.

Reaching the finals is a great achievement for them because I could remember that most people including myself thought that the finals will be between Real Madrid and PSG but the underdog reached the finals. It was a good experience for Dortmund players because it will motivate them next season in UCL.

That is the fact Dortmund have good players but they generally sell there important player to other club and making it difficult to win tittle, because that is what affect them in the Bundesliga and making Bayern Munich over take them and win the league trophy when Bellingham he still in Dortmund. But Dortmund leave him now and sell him to Real Madrid and he as achieve what is searching for at Dortmund.  If Dortmund retains Haaland and Bellingham, it will be difficult for them to win the Champions League final against Madrid last season. I don't think Dortmund will reach the finals next season. They have already lost their chances already, because since in the first half in the final they have many chances to win the game but they fail.

Let's see how the next season goes, but I'm confident Dortmund will struggle to win a title. Because Real Madrid and Manchester City will be competing in the Champions League next season. Ancelotti will do his utmost to win the Champions League again next season, since bringing in one big player will give the team greater strength to win trophies.

Just because you are a good team, doesn't mean that you are going to UCL finals. The issue is that there are only two teams in the world who can go to UCL finals, and that means we are going to end up with only two good teams there and all the others not there.

There are more than two teams that can be considered good, and this is why I think it's obvious that we can't see Dortmund, because I can name 10 teams which are better. This season them being on the finals was a big shock, nobody expected them to be there and nobody thinks that they are going to be able to do that twice in a row neither, they just don't have the talent for it.

Only thing I want to see before everyone changes, is a City vs Real finals, because if we do not see it in a few more years, City will have to revamp the squad mostly, and we won't have majority of who they have now. KDB may move, Silva may, Grealish may, and many other players may move to other clubs in a few years, or maybe even retire.

Some of the center players rumored to be joining Juventus can still add more to Juventus looking for talent with a young age, like Motta as the new head coach is aggressively looking for the players they want to prepare for the season that will start soon.
Rest assured that Juventus this season will be better than the previous season, they can return to compete in the champions league even as a competitor again.

Borussia Dortmund is not the top team in Europe even though they are top in the Bundesliga. I'm sure many people didn't expect them to make it to the UCL final this season. Some said they were lucky in some situations against Barcelona or PSG. But for me luck is also a skill of every team. I think it will be difficult for them to reach the UCL final again next season. This is different from Real Madrid which is the most successful team in the UCL. They are Europe's top team and their chances of reaching the final again are very high.

Meanwhile, I think that my Juventus, let's say its managers and talent scouts are watching some young players with interest.
The European Championship is a good stage and a good showcase, I am convinced that we will find young players to use to recreate a strong team worthy of playing in the Champions League.

In fact, teams like Manchester City also failed and thus, I think it is not wrong to assume Dortmund will not reach the Champions League final next season. Because after all, to stay strong in the race for the Bundesliga trophy is also the fact that Dortmund still often fails. Therefore, Dortmund simply do not have the quality to consistently reach the Champions League final, because basically Dortmund are still not strong enough to be a title challenger team. Therefore, I say there is nothing wrong with such an assumption, because the reality is that Dortmund are also not always lucky even though indeed, Dortmund always managed to have great players and sold expensively to elite teams. But when it comes to competition for trophies I think it is clear that Dortmund are still not strong enough.

So far, Dortmund has no more than just targeted finishing in the top four of its Domestic League, so that they can still compete in the Champions League. Apart from that, several of their young talented players are a priority to become new players who have commercial value who can bring profits to the club. If we look at the last two seasons, all of this cannot be separated from the hard work done by Edin Terzic. Previously, Dortmund almost broke Bayern Munich's dominance, but unfortunately they failed to do so. Last season, Dortmund entered the Champions League final. Regardless of Dortmund's luck in several matches in the Champions League before reaching the final, Terzic has actually given his best to Dortmund during his time as head coach. Even though they failed to win the trophy, if we look at the depth of the team they have, Dortmund was able to survive until the deciding round and that is a big achievement for Terzic with players who don't have a very competitive squad, if we compare it with other elite teams.

In the coming season, we will see how Dortmund plays match after match both in their domestic league and in the Champions League. Likewise with several newcomers who they brought to Signal Iduna Park, such as Guirassy who Nuri Sahin will rely on as Dortmund's goal scoring machine.

These Real Madrid statistics are really scary, you can see that they are a very strong team with a scary experience in the Champions League.
He easily manages to dominate and always carry himself to the final stages, which means a lot of income that he can use to strengthen the team.
I like their way of conducting the market, they buy intelligently.

Although the quality possessed by Dortmund is not equal to that possessed by Madrid, but I think their performance last season was very impressive, especially in the Champions League, since the round of 16 began, Dortmund is one of the most underrated teams due to their poor performance in the domestic league, but slowly we all begin to change our view along with Dortmund ability to destroy Atletico Madrid and also PSG to reach the final Champions League, Champions League this season in my opinion gives us a surprise which should indeed change our view to no longer to underrated of a team playing in the Champions League.

Currently Dortmund who has indeed replaced the coach, of course still has a big ambition to repeat their performance and achievements in the Champions League next season, although Dortmund is a team that has financial limitations but I think they will still be able to compete by relying on the talenteds they have had so far, next season I think Dortmund will be a competitor in the Champions League especially since they have now brought in a striker who performed quite great last season with Stuttgart.

If we talk about Dortmund's luck in the Champions League last season, it felt really good. The reason is that they are quite underestimated and even getting through the group phase is very difficult. Because there are so many promising teams, but it looks like Dortmund can prove it with tireless achievements until the final match against Real Madrid.

I think all teams have the same opportunity as long as they don't get afraid or give up first with the existing situation. Maybe Dortmund will also find it difficult to repeat the same success as last season but they will definitely come back even stronger.

They're obviously one of the best when it comes to buying young players and making good fortune from them whenever they're sold outta the club. I can mention countless players who they brought in for a lesser figure, a good example to mention recently who left the club would be Jude Bellingham. ( As he was brought in for a lesser fee, same goes to Jadon Sancho before his big money move to Manchester United )

What titles would that be? Lol. They are no different from Arsenal. I consider them bottlers because they could have done better so they could win the German Bundesliga League Competition that same season. It's nothing about luck, they just don't have the character, not even the capability, more to add would be experience.


What breakthrough would that be? Well, I will wish them well next season ( Godspeed ). In my own opinion, they should focus on winning the Bundesliga League Competition first.
Let's see what they can do, for the Champions League Competition next season, I'm expecting more from the Seria A Italian clubs, I would love to see a change, I don't like how La Liga and English Premier League Clubs have dominated the Champions League Competition alone.

I think it is still quite early to conclude that a team's performance is in a worse direction because the team you mentioned could make a breakthrough again next season, although I am also not sure that Borussia Dortmund will reach the Champions League final again. However, we also have to understand that it is not impossible for Borussia Dortmund to repeat this as long as they have the ability and a much higher level of luck next season. Because last season, few people predicted that Borussia Dortmund would reach the Champions League final, but in reality they could get there.

Borrussia Dortmund are really known for being business minded and selling their best players to bigger clubs to improve their self financially.  Despite selling their players they still always perform well and they have good scouting staffs that always scout talented players for them. Dortmund always fight for titles because if they don’t they wouldn’t have challenged Bayern the season before this this one that just ended, they almost won the title but it was unfortunate that they lost the title in the final game of the season and this season they were still able to make it to the Champions League final and they lost again. It’s just that luck has not been on their side lately but i know they always work hard to win titles.

Real Madrid were just more experienced in such stages of the competition but Dortmund gave them a strong fight.

To some extent, this season turned out to be unique for Borussia Dortmund, but only due to the fact that they were able to reach the Champions League final, without this, their season would have been very ordinary, and their main success would have been just reaching the Champions League zone in the Bundesliga. Yes, they were very lucky in the match with Barcelona, ​​when Barcelona received a red card in the first half, or with PSG when the ball stubbornly did not want to fly into the net, but luck also plays an important role.

The moment we saw that Dortmund would face Real Madrid in the Champions League final, we knew Madrid was going to win it again. However, the match did not end as some of us expected since Dortmund did not have the strength of Real Madrid. I did not underestimate Dortmund's ability against Real Madrid since I saw how they eliminated PSG in the semifinals, defeating them both at home and away with a narrow win. The first half of the Champions League final was difficult for Real Madrid because Dortmund's midfielders were very strong, they even had opportunities to score at least two goals in the first half, but they lacked the experience that Real Madrid had, I believe that if Vinicius has the opportunity like Adeyemi did in the first half, Real Madrid will lead the first half with a goal.

However, Dortmund did not have many players to compete in the next Champions League since Hummel and Reus are expecting to leave after this season, while Chelsea has already sold Maastsen to Aston Villa, Dortmund needs to focus on signing young players after selling their top players to other big teams, I believe they will understand how good it is to keep important players in the team.

I agree with you that Borussia Dortmund may not be able to repeat there performance they had on this season to this upcoming season because just like you said they defeated PSG and Atletico Madrid but with all the amendments and strategies those clubs has put in place there is no way Borussia Dortmund will beat them and besides it was even fortunate for them to have win them because normally PSG is more in a good shape than them so wining then was actually a narrow escape, however one of the things I even noticed about Borussia Dortmund performance is that there performance is always seasonal because at a moment they will be very inform and the next season they will start performing poorly.

Regarding Dortmund behaviour for transfer players the owner has been admitted that he says Dortmund is not rich club so if there are any clubs who interested to their players and those clubs will dare to paying with expensive price then Dortmund is willing to sell those players because from these transfers Dortmund can gets a lot of money to managed their financial conditions so that's why we were often to see Dortmund always be selling their potential players to other clubs but Dortmund management is very smart because they can buy young players with cheap price and within years they can sell those players with expensive price and these things were happened plenty

And your opinion about Dortmund journey can reach to Champion League final match of this season is make sense and i think i have to agree with you that they were luck because at that time before reach to the final match Dortmund can beat several strong clubs such as PSG and Atletico Madrid which if we see from the squad these clubs quality is above to Dortmund and for next season i think it's quite hard for Dortmund to repeat their this season achievement especially next season with new format Dortmund potentially will met against several strong teams early at league phase

Dortmund was so sure of their self that they can win the champions league, we that already know who Madrid is did not argue much, Madrid have players that are very experience in the premier league so they won’t even panic just because they have experienced player. When it comes to Madrid I know there are chances that they can win but we are going to act as an obstacle to them this season. They disqualified us last season but I don’t think they will be given that opportunity to do that this season. We are getting ready for them when they kick off for a new season. We know that the game was not really easy but there was still assurance that Madrid will win. The goal changed everything. All dortmund  attack were failing and Madrid know how to take advantage of the situation than dortmund and it is all because of experience.

Actually, when I look at the statistics, I cannot see any statistics where Dortmund was ahead until the end of the match. I agree that Real Madrid opened up in the second half of the match. Dortmund, which made many attacks in the first half, could not find a goal, but Real Madrid managed to win. Dortmund could not capitalize on many attacks. If they had managed to score an attack, perhaps they could have beaten Real Madrid with the excitement of the game. Now we will observe the situation in other matches together. We all expect next year's Real to be better than this year.
