Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund meet in the finale of UEFA’s premier club competition at Wembley Stadium in London.
Akhil Arora, an avid football viewer who has been writing about the Champions League since 2011. He has reported live from Wembley and Wimbledon.
For the sixth time in 11 years, Real Madrid are in the UEFA Champions League final. And the Spanish giants are heavy favourites. After all, they emerged as winners on the previous five occasions. In fact, they haven’t lost a Champions League final since 1981. Add to that the fact their opponents—Borussia Dortmund—finished fifth in their own league and have a much weaker squad than the teams Madrid defeated on their way to the final. But while the odds might be against Dortmund, I wouldn’t totally rule them out. They did top the group of death—alongside AC Milan, Newcastle United, and Paris Saint-Germain—before dealing with Atlético Madrid in the quarterfinals and being reunited with PSG in the semis. Reaching the Champions League final is no joke.
On paper, Real Madrid might seem like a challenge too big. Their counterattacks are unforgiving, and they are immensely solid as a unit in defence. But unlike Madrid’s previous two Champions League opponents—Bayern Munich in the semis and Manchester City in the quarters—Dortmund will have no desire to hold onto the ball. They aren’t a possession team. If they can weather Madrid’s wave of attacks, it might give them a chance to counter and create opportunities when the La Liga winners are out of shape. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Bigger teams than Dortmund have failed in previous Champions League finals against Madrid.
