Champions League finals have now become a regular affair for Real Madrid. The tournament’s record champions won the title 2 years ago as well.

The fight for Real is like the other five finals, but it is a fight to restore the lost tradition to Borussia Dortmund. The team that won the Champions League title for the first and last time 27 years ago is undoubtedly eyeing the Europasera trophy. The team has prepared a surprise package ahead of the title fight.
Luck has helped Borussia quite well on their way to the final. A total of 12 times in the current season, the opponent’s shot returned to their goal post. The Germans may be in danger if this fate is not on their side in the final.
But Real Madrid is not at ease. In-form Andrey Lunin will not be available for the final match. Thibaut Courtois will play in the Champions League for the first time this season in the final match. The defense may also be a cause for concern for Real. There are concerns over Eda Militao’s fitness after returning from injury. The center back pair of Nacho-Rüdiger will therefore have to perform additional duties from the start.
On the other hand, the defense is the area of great strength of Borussia. Captain Mats Hummels is in great form. 35 If this centerback Perno maintains his form, Dortmund will be ahead in the final. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel does not go short. This Swiss footballer has made the most saves with gloves in Europe’s top 5 leagues. He has retained that form in the Champions League as well. But in the final, he will have to face the test of Vinicius Jr. – Jude Bellingham.
It has been almost 44 years since Real last lost a European Cup final. Since then the name of the tournament has changed, Real have also beaten 5 different opponents. Now the sixth club can join that list. Although there are 14 Champions League trophies in the cabinet, this is the first time the team has reached the final without losing a match. There is also a chance to become the second Spanish club to become unbeaten champions after Barcelona.

Real’s Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr. may have a different eye on the match. He scored 5 goals and 4 assists in this year’s Champions League until the final. Only one player in the league holds the record for contributing more goals in a single season. He is Luis Figo. The Brazilian star has a chance to move up the list.
On the other hand, Borussia reached the final thanks to a team effort. One statistic is enough to show that there is no star apart. In this year’s Champions League, 12 people have got their name on the scoresheet in the team’s 17 goals. The top scorer is Niklas Fulkrug, his number of goals is 3.
The two finalists have met a total of 14 times in European competition. Whereas Real won twice as against the German club’s only 3 wins. Carlo confirmed Lunin’s illness, Alaba’s injury and Chuemini’s absence ahead of the Wembley match. On the other hand, Sebastian Haller is the only absentee from Borussia’s squad.
