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.

The new format will not be a serious problem for real madrid, and that's why majority of us still favored it. Real Madrid will do it easily. The new format requires you to have two teams in your squad.

The two teams are the primary and secondary teams. The main team will often be substituted with the backup team. This is to avoid its players getting injured. Then again, the new format forced you to have two squads with the same qualities.

But real madrid has it all. And last, i don't see a chance for a new format to be a very big obstacle for real madrid.

La Liga failed to get an extra UCL spot due to poor performances by La Liga clubs. But, adding slots for the Bundesliga and Serie A won't help UCL victory chances. Right?

They seem to be risking their own club by selling their good players to their closest rivals and don't seem to think about the impact that will occur because they only think about the profit from the sale.
I think these clubs really prioritize their business in order to become rich clubs in the league while other clubs try to improve and improve their performance so they can compete fiercely.
Indeed, getting profits is a good thing, but it must also be balanced so that there is no decline.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich always has a way to ensure that their club remains balanced in gaining profits but their performance remains strong.
And Bayern is trying to add great players to strengthen their competition next season but I'm not sure Borussia Dortmund can repeat the same performance as last season they were lucky enough to reach the final.

Every season we will definitely see Dortmund main star go to another team at a great price, but the strange thing is that they have always been able to continue to orbit new star players to their main squad so far, Haaland, Lewandowski, Bellingham and Sancho are players who have managed to develop and in the end are sold to other teams, for now Dortmund always sell their star players but I think we also have to understand why they have done so far, Dortmund is not a rich team in the Bundesliga even financially, they are still worse than the current team like leipzig  and stuttgart, so indeed to stabilize finances of course selling players is one of their solutions to survive.

The sale of players to rival teams has of course made Dortmund weaker and that is what they should be avoiding at the moment, but it seems that in the last two seasons we no longer find Dortmund players bought by Munich, because Dortmund has reportedly confirmed that no more Dortmund players will be sold to Bayern Munich, about Dortmund success in qualifying for the Champions League final,  It looks like luck, but I think it's the result of Dortmund hard work and unyielding spirit.

One important thing with Real Madrid fans keep confidence after their favorite team success reach the final round guarantee will be the winner, since last 9 record final in Champion League Real Madrid never get defeated and I have good memorize how the winning mentality having by Madrid although conceded early and one minutes left but success being draw Atletico Madrid on season 2013/14.

Next season, UEFA Champion League have new format and Madrid keep become the favorite teams although next season many new teams participants as their first appearance.
One bad thing with UEFA regulation about extra quota slot for Bundesliga and Serie A teams for next season have five teams participants, in other side Real Madrid success become the winner but can't help more for their domestic league get 5 slot participants in Champion League.

When Real Madrid reached the Champions League final, most people speculated that they would win the title again considering their history in the Champions League was so good compared to other strong contestants. In my opinion, playing against Dortmund was an easier obstacle than Real Madrid having to play against Manchester City and also Bayern Munich because I see that Dortmund is still far below these two clubs in terms of strength, although we cannot deny that Dortmund be able to reach the final, but the opponents they face are relatively easier compared to Madrid.

I don't think it's inappropriate, but rather that they were unlucky because the opponent they faced before reaching the final was Real Madrid. If they met in the final, I think their performance would be more equal to fight for the trophy.

At that time, many people predicted that Dortmund would win and many also predicted that Real Madrid would win. Dortmund did perform very well at that time and indeed Dortmund competed very closely with Real Madrid and of course in the match before facing Real Madrid in the final Dortmund was the team that could be predicted to win against Real Madrid because Dortmund's defense was very strong and strong. has strong sharpness. when attacking.

but yes, even though Dortmund didn't win the title, they have tried their best and of course being runners up is certainly an extraordinary achievement. Yes, when we see Real Madrid against Dortmund in the final, of course we will see how strong Dortmund's attack is, but unfortunately their attack did not produce results and what I remember was that the ball only hit the goalpost which was finally controlled by the Madrid players. In the end, Dortmund failed to score against Real Madrid.

Yes, the opportunity to win for Dortmund at that time was wide open, but of course Real Madrid did have a strong squad and luck was still on Real Madrid's side. Yes, Arsenal is a strong team and it is possible that Arsenal's performance will be even better in the 2024-2025 season, but I personally support Real Madrid who will become champions again because their squad is now getting stronger.

Dortmund and Ajax are so funny when it comes to releasing of players that are capable not even to somewhere safer but to their rivals , only if Ajax and Dortmund have retained some players then they might have become ustoppable.. I think they are just in for business ( business clubs indeed ).
Bayern on the other requit good players to replay old ones, I don't think Bayer have too much of old players (always profitable ..Next championship is gonna be a tough one , hardly we should see  games of luck like  in the recent concluded UCL. No doubt they made by luck to the final but if they don't prepare for the upcoming I don't see them getting to the knockout stage

Edin Terzic thought he could win Carlo Ancelotti in the UEFA Champions League final but that was mission impossible for him and there's more challenges for the club, he had no option than tender his resignation letter and move on because it hurts to lose in the UCL final.

Borrusia Dortmund would have assembled to be UCL winners the previous season but facing Real Madrid, it completely turn to different matter and everyone have something to deal with. Real Madrid are always consider to be the very best club when it comes to UEFA Champions League, they're currently ranked first on the list based on their fierce performance against oppositions.

Arteta already improved Arsenal, he showed his quality as a young manager. In the last 2 seasons, Arsenal always finished the season as a runner-up, Arteta is quite successful to build Arsenal team. If Arteta still couldn't win the EPL trophy, he is just unlucky because Arsenal often did mistakes in second half of the season. But in the last season, Arsenal looks changing some matter, they didn't waste too many points in second half of the season. If Arteta keeps managing Arsenal, I think someday he can succeed winning EPL trophy. Meanwhile in UCL, I think Arsenal shouldn't expect too much, Arteta needs to get some experiences in UCL firstly. Also, Arteta needs to have a sharp striker if he wants to reach the UCL final. The current striker of Arsenal looks not strong enough, Gabriel Jesus is no longer as strong as in previous seasons.

By the way, even if Arsenal management fires Arteta, they won't be easy to get a new coach with the same level. There is no guarantee that the new coach can manage Arsenal better, so it is like gambling if Arsenal management wants to fire Arteta. I think Arsenal should keep Arteta as long as he still can maintain the performance of Arsenal.

What is certain is that the Champions League is not like the Domestic League, where each team has a minimum of 34 or 38 matches throughout the season. different from the Champions League, each team taking part in this competition will go through the play-off round first. then, proceed to the next round for those who qualify and only have a short meeting. so, it is natural that each team will devote more attention to this competition. after all, every team involved is a top-ranked team in its domestic league. it would be natural for each team to be more careful when playing their match, because one mistake could have fatal consequences for those playing the match. Real Madrid and Manchester City are no exception, they will not underestimate the team they are opposing. moreover, a team that has the potential to overthrow these two teams. That's why the Champions League is an opportunity for all teams to measure their strength and at the same time win the highest caste trophy in all existing leagues. so, it's true that the Champions League is a little difficult to predict.

However, several dominant teams are always strong candidates as challengers to win the trophy. apart from having a very capable depth of players, mentality is also one of the supporting factors for teams competing in the UCL. like Real Madrid, a team that is always a candidate to win. yeah, they have a winning mentality as well as a depth of players who are very competitive this season with the presence of several newcomers including Mbappe. however, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will retain the trophy they won last season, because other strong teams are ready to serve Real Madrid when they meet. one of them, Manchester City. well, maybe this season there will be another surprise in the Champions League final. so, let's just wait.

No team can be underrated again as long as the champions league competition is concerned. Last season, Dortmund was not among the most preferred club to win the champions league or even get to the finals. Everything worked in their favour, thanks to their hardwork and unrelenting effort to make it to that stage. I have the teams I foresee them to make it to the final stage of the competition but still have in mind of exceptions of what can happen, I mean the unforeseen circumstances that can take place like the one that happened to Dortmund last season. Dortmund might not be seen as a team that can make it far in the next season’s championship league, but if they do, I won’t be surprised and that’s the same way i will have in mind for any other team that will make it that far as Dortmund did last season.

We see that Real Madrid does have the credibility it deserves with its name and also with its history, I myself do not deny that Dortmund in the final match of the champions league yesterday performed quite well and they were able to compete in the final match against Real Madrid who had a lot of experience there, yes even though they finally lost too but in terms of how to play and against Real Madrid I think for Dortmund we need to give applause because they can get that far in the Champions league.

Regarding Man City and Bayer Munich, maybe they can perform much more freely in the final because they have stood there to get the trophy, but unfortunately they did not deserve to reach the final last season.

Here I also understand all concern and depth of this talk but for this all we also needed other clubs also work on their system to have mentality and strategy to compete with them because in UEFA we have too many clubs which are capable of giving their best but in crucial games mostly they fail to give their best which helps them to give their best against them with we will be able to have the best soccer from different champions.

Even in last few years due to financial issues many big clubs are suffering which is surely problem, but we need to have some tight FFP rules as well which helps to keep things at the level which is also important part of this game now coming season is going to be exciting as we are having few clubs which will try their best for having improved performance and surely this could be not easy for the Real Madrid to defend their title.

Ever since Dortmund's opponents Real Madrid were confirmed, we assumed Real Madrid were going to win another season of the Champions League tournament. But the final match was not as easy as we thought the final match was for Real Madrid. In the final of the Champions League, we saw that Dortmund had a tough competition with Real Madrid. Real Madrid went in at the last minute and won by a goal. In the final match we saw that Dortmund had more attacks than Real Madrid but they were not successful there and they did not have the good finishing that Real Madrid did. However, Manchester City or Bayern Munich can do well in the Champions League final this season alongside Real Madrid, in which case I would not give Dortmund much priority for the Champions League tournament.

Seeing Dortmund policies in the transfer window sometimes makes us annoyed, and one of the most annoying of their policies is releasing their players to direct rivals. In many aspects, Bayern is very profitable because they recruited a lot of players from Dortmund, and overall there are many star players who have been released by Dortmund, and they only hope for instant profits.

Dortmund journey to reach the Champions League final last season felt like luck, because they took an easier route than Madrid. Next season, with Nuri Sahin as the new manager, it seems Dortmund will find it difficult to record the same performance. Reus and Hummels are certain to leave Dortmund, and as usual Dortmund management will move to recruit other talented young players.

To be honest, I won't be surprised to see Real Madrid winning the European Champions League again next season and the reasons for me thinking that way are the following:

1 - last season real madrid won the european champions league even without having a good striker, they lacked a striker, but even so the coach found a way and solved the problem temporarily and like the rest of the squad is of great quality they won the league

2 - apart from Manchester City, the remaining teams that in the past were great because they were made up of a squad of great players, are in crisis, they do not have a squad made up of many great players, for example: Barcelona, ​​has become an average team, inter a same thing, juventus the same thing, milan the same thing, manchester united the same thing, bayern the same thing, liverpool the same thing. if we ask ourselves the following:

What are the other teams that have a strong squad like Manchester City and Real Madrid?

The Champions League has continued to present every excitement and also fierce competition every season, the fierce competition that occurs in the Champions League is of course proven by the many favorite teams that have to be eliminated early from the Champions League as is what happened this season, what you say is true, in the Champions League, of course a club needs many factors to be able to become the champion of the Champions League, even financially strong and a team that has Many stars are still not enough to be able to win the Champions League if it is not supported by mentality, good performance and also consistency, we can see today how big European clubs continue to compete to be the best in their league and getting a ticket to the Champions League is one of the proud achievements apart from winning the trophy.

The number of large and strong teams competing in the Champions League so far has certainly presented competitive competition, so indeed when the team does not prepare its team well, of course it will be difficult to survive in the Champions League, especially next season the Champions League will present more teams and also matches so that it requires teams that qualify for the Champions League next season to prepare their teams well from now on.

Its always been in the policy of Dortmund to sale off players often, except for last see, they have sold off players almost every season and they do it at almost every transfer window openings. Dortmund looks to me like they are mainly about the business of making money and occasionally get to win trophies, interestingly they sometimes even make more money than the team that actually got to win the league title at the end of the season.

Las champions league, they made some good money of the champions league both from the funds they got findings second and that which they got form their players transfer, personally I even love the fact that they are making money even without having to really win trophies but the disadvantages is in the fact that they are going to often loose good quality players because they are not keeping them long enough, a lot of the recent to good players across Europe are mostly one who where groomed in the Dortmund team before they were sold out.

If these players where still in Dortmund, the chances they will win more trophies will be very high but they are not going to be able to make a s much money as they are doing, few season ago, Bayern Munich won the bundesliga title but it turned out that Dortmund still had the most money made in that season in the German bundesliga. Keeping the teams purse fat while the keep grooming good breeds of players have been Dortmuns technique over the years and it has effectively worked for them.

Borussia Dortmund has never been gone through for the titles as their business model is working on for having profit from the buying and selling of the players and this is not secret with we all know about this from years because they were able to won titles but never achieve this due to their policies which are never allow them to have success like this even in last season things were not competitive as fans were expecting, but they have historic achievement in Champions League.

We have many big names which were able to give their best and having time for winning trophies, but management never works on this, and they keep things on their own way of making profit this was really helpful for the Bayern Munich which is having first worst season after decade of dominance in Bundesliga, but now things are taking good changes, and we are having new teams which are giving their best for staying at the top.
