When is Champions League Final? Real madrid vs borussia dortmund? who will win the trophy?
The 2024 Champions League final is set — 14-time winners Real Madrid will face 1997 champions Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on June 1 aiming to succeed Manchester City by lifting the trophy in London. Madrid be overwhelming favourites with Carlo Ancelotti’s side having just clinched a record-extending 36th LaLiga title. In contrast, Edin Terzic’s Dortmund sit in fifth position in the Bundesliga, 24 points behind unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen. Despite their poor domestic campaign, Dortmund have defied the odds to make it all the way to Wembley. They will be seeking to make it second-time lucky at Wembley after their loss against Bayern Munich in the 2013 final.
Madrid cruised into the knockout stages by winning all six games in Group C against Braga, Napoli and Union Berlin. Ancelotti’s team, who last lifted the trophy in 2022 by beating Liverpool 1-0 in Paris, scored 16 goals and conceded seven in a routine group stage campaign. Dortmund emerged as winners of Group F, with home and away victories against Newcastle United proving key to their success in sealing qualification from a group that also included Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan.
Both teams have had to fight their way through the knockout rounds to reach the final, however. Madrid secured a narrow, and at times tense, round-of-16 tie victory against RB Leipzig by progressing 2-1 on aggregate, before eliminating holders Man City 4-3 in a penalty shootout following a 4-4 aggregate draw. Meanwhile, Dortmund benefited from being in the easier half of the draw, avoiding all of the tournament favourites, and started out with a 3-1 aggregate win against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16.
Madrid have the tournament pedigree, with five Champions League titles in the last 11 years, while Dortmund have only won the competition once, in 1997. However, Dortmund have a strong team ethic and work rate, which has seen them reach the final against the odds.
The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with Madrid’s attacking threat and Dortmund’s team collective set to clash. Key players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Antonio Rudiger will be crucial for Madrid, while Dortmund will rely on their team collective and players like Julian Brandt and Mats Hummels.
