UCL Final: Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund – Los Blancos aim to clinch 15th title as Yellow Wall desperately search European success
It is finally time to decide on the Champions of Europe. It is a stark contrast between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. While the Spanish giants chase their 15th title, the Bundesliga side will be keen to grab their second. Los Blancos are tipped as the favourites but the Yellow Wall won’t make it easy as both sides clash at the Iconic Wembley Stadium.
Borussia Dortmund have been the surprise pick of the season. They went on to beat the likes of AC Milan, Newcastle United, PSV, Atletico Madrid and even PSG to finally reach the finals. And waiting them in the finals will be the most successful club in this competition, Real Madrid.
While the odds favour the Spanish side, the Yellow Army won’t go without a fight. Since their win in UCL Final over Juventus in 1997, they came close in 2013. But it was Bayern Munich who reigned supreme on that night to snatch a 2-1 win over their counterparts.

For the German side, questions remain on the fitness of striker Sebastian Haller who has an ankle injury. If he is fit, then he just might come on as a substitute to Niclas Fullkrug towards the latter part of the second half. Mats Hummels will partner Schlotterbeck at the heart of the defence.
Dortmund’s midfield is extremely dynamic. Emre Can fills the hole and will be partnered by the Marcel Sabitzer who oozes our class and flair. A string attacking lineup of Jadon Sancho, Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi might see Marco Reus missing out on a place in the starting XI.
