UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[hyudien]

After yesterday's Europa League final, when almost everyone was sure of the opposite outcome, I also thought that Dortmund might have a chance of winning... Although I think Real will take the title, but if there is a spectacle like yesterday, it would probably be even more interesting... But still I think there could be extra time and a penalty shootout...

Well, this is what's interesting, in the European League almost what many people predicted didn't happen because Atalanta actually became champions. And I think this result will slightly influence the minds of some people who also hope that the results of the Champions League matches will be the same as what happened in the European League. Yes, it seems there are some people who think that Borussia Dortmund will face the odds in the final match.
It would be extraordinary if that really happened, because 2 different European competitions produced champions who were not from the more favored teams. but it is very difficult to see this all happening, because we are faced with Real Madrid who have a very high mentality, especially in the Champions League, they are the most successful team here and even from the finals they always play, they almost always win. won, only failed a few times. And I'm not sure Borussia Dortmund will deliver that failure either.

I think it's almost impossible for that to happen. Leverkusen have a great record with 51 games unbeaten but I think they are both on different levels. Many say Leverkusen is the best team in Europe at the moment, but if the two of them faced each other, not everyone would agree that Leverkusen would win.

Of course, it is not impossible that Dortmund will win the match. Because nothing is impossible in football. However, if you look at the history of the two teams leading up to the final, Real Madrid was far superior by beating favorite teams such as City and Munich.

In my personal opinion Dortmund has no chance of winning. But they have the possibility to hold Real Madrid to a draw and take the match to a penalty shootout. I'm really excited for the UCL final night.

If by any way the champions league finals reached the penalty shootout, it will be of more advantage to Dortmund than it will be for Real Madrid. If they cannot beat them in the full match, penalty which is a game of luck can be won by any team that’s lucky that day. Sometimes it doesn’t matter the number of good penalty takers you have, you just have to hopeful and lucky to win the game when it gets to that stage. The anxiety and trauma that comes with taking penalty when it’s in the final is different, even players you have confidence in can fail you that day. The match still remains in favour of Real Madrid and that’s obvious for everyone to see. For Dortmund to win is not impossible, but it just have to be through hardwork and luck.

[Adams0001]

After I saw the outcome of the Europa League finals yesterday, I have decided not to underestimate any club that is playing the finals because if they are not strong, they will no be in the finals. I still believe that Real Madrid will win Dortmund because they have good players and strikers that are hungry for goals, which they will like to put down their names on the score sheet of the champions league finals.

Dortmund on the other hand needs to play with confidence and have a game strategy to work with in order for them to resist defeat from Real Madrid. I believe the match will be filled with thrills, I will placemy bet on Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti is a quite experienced coach, he has been through quite a lot in the Champions League. Therefore, I am sure that he respects every opponent, especially in the final match. Don Carlo remains grounded even though his team is the favorite. Dortmund also has big ambitions to win the title, it is very possible for them to appear all out and carefree even though they are not seeded. Yes, the results of the European League final match can be a reference that there is no guarantee that the team that is favored will be able to perform well, in fact the team that is not seeded will play without burden so that they have very much freedom in controlling the field. But will another miracle happen in the UCL final? However, I hope that this match can produce an exciting and one-sided match.

Ancelotti is not new to playing champions league finals, and everyone believes that real madrid will win the champions league final, and madrid has never lost a final before, and the history will continue, so I don't give dortmund any chance to win the title because since real madrid has eliminated bayern munich and manchester city, I don't see any club that can stop them in the final this season. I think expect next season, and now that real madrid has signed some new players to dortmund are also performing well because any team that reaches the champions league final signifies he is not a weak club, yet dortmund fail to challenges leverkusen in the league,but they do well and eliminate other big clubs and qualify to the final, is only dortmund that remain in the Germany club in all competition, and the rest of the club will be supporting them to get the opportunity and defeat real madrid and fulfill Marco Reus since this is the last champions league against dortmund and he will like to win the trophy with them before he leave the team, he won many trophy with the clubs but he did not get any champions league with the clubs. let see if he can get the chance and win the trophy but he won't be easy task.

[KTChampions]

With Leverkusen's defeat in the European League final, many people are starting to think that Dortmund could beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final. However, I will not be like most people who just because of the result can change the result and of course here Real Madrid are much more experienced when compared to Leverkusen's one season.

Maybe most people believe that victory is as real for Dortmund as it was for Atalanta as an unseeded team and I don't think they should be that confident just because anything can happen. What is clear is that Dortmund also knows that Real Madrid is not a seasonal team that can only be beaten in one meeting and of course they will remain alert to Real Madrid's game, which is famous for its comebacks.

If I remember correctly, Bayer was far from being such a clear favorite as Real is now, so I don’t see many analogies between these finals. But still, I think that after Atalanta’s victory, Dortmund’s chances worsened - firstly, the Real players themselves saw that being a favorite is not enough, they need to prove their strength by deeds, and secondly, dad Carlo, using this example, will show them how dangerous it is to underestimate the opponent and see in advance title in your hands. Now Real will be as focused as possible.

[Dzwaafu11]

However, Dortmund will try hard enough to win the match against Real Madrid, and they will be very motivated. But we can say for sure that Real Madrid is currently ahead in all aspects in terms of strength, and they have enough stars. And this season in the Champions League they are very excited to win the match, I think this season's Champions League will definitely win to Real Madrid because they already have more experience in the Champions League. Real Madrid has enough experience to win the UCL trophy, but it is true that Real Madrid need to be tougher this season, or they may lose the match. We have already seen Atalanta win the Europa League against a strong team like Leverkusen, so Real Madrid must be tougher. UCL though is a big place where every team will play according to their merit and work hard enough. And if Real Madrid attack normally against Dortmund then of course it will never be good for Madrid, so every team has to take it strong and play after good performance.

Firstly, let me tell you something: Dortmund are not going to win Real Madrid, obviously. We all know how good Real Madrid are this season; we see how they defeat many tough teams. Even though I know that this is the final stage of the season and this will be the last game, and the winner will go home with the trophy, I still didn’t see any sign or performance in Dortmund that they would win Real Madrid. In the Champions League, Real Madrid will show how experienced they are, and you know that.

However, if you look at Bayern Leverkusen, you will know that they are no good as Real Madrid and Atlanta are also in form, not like Dortmund. I believe Dortmund can only do well because they see it as the final stage and won’t want to miss the opportunity, but I won’t give them any hope of winning the trophy. I can say that I’m confidently sure that Real Madrid will win the trophy.

But will another miracle happen in the UCL final? However, I hope that this match can produce an exciting and one-sided match.

Considering with Dortmund manager Edin Terzic I think Carlo Ancelotti has much experienced by winning many Champion League trophies with difference team from Milan and several time with Real Madrid. So far Ancelotti have won five Champion League trophies and has bigger opportunity for winning six UCL with Real Madrid in this season. But the result of Europe League final match last night make us little doubt with not favorite team success make surprising by beating the favorite team, I think Real Madrid should lead early and not get conceded because get difficult for scoring goals behind Dortmund more solid with their defense performance.
Indeed the percentage winning ratio Madrid more dominance than Dortmund its can't guarantee for Madrid will beat Dortmund easily, I think has bigger motivate as underdog team without get pressure yet for Dortmund to get Champion League trophy for the first time.

[Altryist]

Yeah surely some Borussia Dortmunds fans after the Atalanta win from yesterday are started to think about they also can make the move and win the Champions League. But you know what? That has nothing to do with this, Real MAdrid is other thing and UCL final is a total diferent match, Real Madrid is not gonna be that soft like LEverkusen yesterday and they are not gonna give Dortmund any chance of make a move.

Of course, Dortmund fans will hope that their team can beat Real Madrid, but even if this happens, it will not be such a confident victory as Atalanta achieved yesterday. Dortmund will defend and in this case it is not worth expecting that they will be able to score many goals against Real Madrid, it will be good if they manage to score at least one goal, and I am almost sure that Terzic will focus on playing in defense, and to what extent is this strategy will work for them, we’ll find out soon.

Real Madrid will never be the same as Leverkusen, Real Madrid's mentality and experience are much better than Leverkusen even if Real Madrid is behind its opponent in a match. Of course, Ancelotti and most of the main players have good experience to support the team's good performance, but Real Madrid still has to be alert to whatever will happen in the final match.

Ancelotti will never underestimate his opponents, that's why Ancelotti rotates players in several La Liga matches. Preparation after preparation was done well, but we will never know about the final result until Wasti blows the whistle. I really hope Real Madrid can win in the final, but defeat cannot be completely ignored either.

Yes, actually if we talk about Real Madrid it is very different from Leverkusen but for me I would never compare Real Madrid with Leverkusen but instead have to compare Dortmund which is fairer to compare the two clubs.
As you said, Real Madrid has much greater experience but that is only from the past and we also have to see this season being one of the next seasons which could bring a big surprise from Dortmund which cannot be underestimated.
Both clubs have advantages, but both clubs also have weaknesses which could become even greater if their opponents knew about them.

Real Madrid wants to win in the final and Dortmund will also want to win, which means both clubs will both appear with maximum strength and try to improve the mentality of the players to win this prestigious title.
This will be a big, historic match if Dortmund can do the same as the competition at UEL.

To what extent will Dortmund match Real Madrid in the final?  We think Real Madrid will probably dominate 60% of the time because this is a big team that is called the king of Europe and is a master in this field.

Of course we shouldn't underestimate Dortmund at all, we know how Atalanta silenced the Leverkusen fans? Well maybe what comes to my mind is that Real Madrid doesn't score more goals which means that the difference is not that big because somehow Dortmund will try to win even though in my opinion it is impossible.

Yesterday someone shared the same view with your point. The favorites Borussia Dortmund lost which is an indication that Real Madrid is not invincible. In sports, favorites might not win the game just like we saw in the finals yesterday. The UCL is not a different game because in sports anything can happen. Madrid might have all it takes to win but don't forget that Bayer Leverkusen has been unbeaten and from all predictions, Atalanta had no chance to win the trophy. But they had a convincing win through a single player whose luck shined on that day  This might also be the same experience in the UCL finals and we would see it as another wonder this season.

I agree with you. I don't believe that Dortmund have no ability to beat Real Madrid.   In the past matches, we see the Dortmund team performing quite well. Especially Dortmund's defense is strong enough.   Dortmund won both matches against PSG thanks to their strong defence. So it will not be easy for the players of Real Madrid to break this strong defense of Dortmund.

Real Madrid are always considered favorites in the Champions League. However, we don't always see the favorites win the Champions League final. If Madrid make any mistake against Dortmund, Real Madrid has the possibility of losing this match.

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most successful managers of all time and has won several UCL trophies for Real Madrid. Although the final match is very difficult for Real Madrid in other seasons, this season at least the final match will not be so difficult for Real Madrid and maybe this season Real Madrid will be able to plan the final match very naturally. Of all the players Real Madrid have, if Carlo Ancelotti drops his preferred XI, Dortmund won't do much against this team. If the final match needs a lot of planning, I'd say Dortmund needs to plan. Real Madrid has multiple strikers and the midfielders of Real Madrid play a lot of attacking football, but it is a very big question which midfielder will be tagged by the opposing defenders or which striker will be tagged.

Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Brahim Díaz, Joselu and several other players have scored goals this season in the Champions League. All of these players are dangerous for Dortmund and none of the other players in the main line-up are worth underestimating, of course because they might be the ones who score goals instead of being marked.

Dortmund's game strategy is likely to be defense and counterattack, while Real Madrid's strategy is to attack. Dortmund advanced to the final with this strategy, but they would lose to Real Madrid if they only used defense and counterattacks. I'm sure Real Madrid will be free to exploit Dortmund's defense if they only play in the defensive area, but if both teams attack equally then there will certainly be something interesting to look forward to instead of hoping for Dortmund's luck.

The Atalanta Versus Laverkusen match is very relevant as an example that in football there is always an unexpected possibility, the favorite team could lose. Speaking of reputation, Madrid is certainly much better than Dortmund, and in many other aspects the two teams are also very different, but the surprises that occurred in the Europa League could also happen in the Champions League. On paper, there is no doubt that Madrid can be assumed to win the Champions League trophy this season, but once again sometimes all predictions can be wrong, therefore a lot of consideration is needed if you want to bet on one of them.

In general, the game will most likely be dominated by Madrid, Dortmund will likely play by relying on counter attacks, and I think both teams will play very carefully. In terms of preparation, Dortmund has more time, while Madrid must first play the final La Liga match versus Real Betis, in this case Dortmund is a little lucky. Ancelotti will clearly save a number of important players, and will be more focused on looking towards the Champions League final.

Yeah surely some Borussia Dortmunds fans after the Atalanta win from yesterday are started to think about they also can make the move and win the Champions League. But you know what? That has nothing to do with this, Real MAdrid is other thing and UCL final is a total diferent match, Real Madrid is not gonna be that soft like LEverkusen yesterday and they are not gonna give Dortmund any chance of make a move.

What people still don’t understand is that games don’t work like that. There are two different leagues and completely different teams, and that fact needs to be accepted. Is that this Bayer leverkusen has only one Europe Cup, which was in 1988, while Atalanta has none, but just gotten one this year. So if we are to bring the same assessment to the Champions League, Real Madrid has a total of 14 trophies, while Dortmund has only one, which was in 1997, so if you compare those teams together, you will also know that it can’t be possible. 

Furthermore, Real Madrid are not here to play, and we all know they are the best winners of this trophy, but anything can happen, so we look forward and see how the game will end in the next nine days, but I know that Real Madrid's performance is better than Dortmund's.

[QueenVera]

yesterday's match in the European League made some bettors more careful in deciding to bet on the most comfortable option because surprises could happen.
but for me in the UCL it will be very different because the differences in the European league can be seen from the experience of the two teams, whereas here in the UCL, Real Madrid has many advantages and not only experience but also quality players.
what you say might come true if Madrid will lose the best player that Madrid has when Toni Kroos leaves, who has to choose to retire from football and this will be the last prestigious match for him which must be achieved to provide the most beautiful memories before he leaves Madrid.

honestly, as a Madrid fan, I feel very sad when I see the news that Toni Kroos has to retire too soon, leaving Madrid after a decade with Madrid who has always made a very good contribution and I am sure that even though many people are sad to see the departure of this player, Toni Kroos will prove in the last match against Dortmund that he will get the UCL title and be one of the last gifts for Madrid as a farewell sign from Toni Kroos.

I expected this though that after yesterday’s match, there will be lots of talk on the unpredictability of football. Well it’s allowed as to an extent I saw Atalanta being able to give Leverkusen some tough battle and they did and they got the prize which is the trophy. It is surprising how many relate this to the UCL. ⁠yes because the UCL is so different as it has to do majorly with experience first and the team performance. Yes your team performance must be above excellent to be able to win the Ucl. And when you look at this Real Madrid squad, they’re a full definition of a UCL winning team.

  Real Madrid's squad have the experience and they have also got very talented players who have been able to partner and blend with the experienced players over time. With this blend, you expect nothing leas than a master class performance from Real Madrid in the finals. Also, I think the departure of Kroos will be one that the Madrid team will take so serious and will want to give a perfect goodbye gift, the UCL trophy.

 ⁠Kroos himself will take this match so seriously as he will aim to make sure he delivers his team and give the fans one fond memory to remember when he leaves because sincerely most of the fans are still surprised he’s leaving before Modric. For this reason, I think Real Madrid will sure get the victory and claim the trophy at the end of the day and I can’t wait.

Yeah it was a surprise for all of us watching the game yesterday where Atalanta were much more dominant with their 3 goals, we didn't see this as Leverkusen because looking at the back to back games between Roma vs Leverkusen where they were two goals down but Leverkusen were still able to come back but for the final it changed for Leverkusen.

What else is there for Real Madrid to consider? All of the above for Dortmund but it's true we never know what will happen so most people will still choose Real Madrid despite the example of the Europa League final.

Again Real Madrid have a lot of experience I don't care about Leverkusen anymore because it's their first final after decades of maybe not reaching it.
Seeing how Real Madrid react in this final is what we are waiting for. Win or lose.

[Huppercase]

Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Brahim Díaz, Joselu and several other players have scored goals this season in the Champions League. All of these players are dangerous for Dortmund and none of the other players in the main line-up are worth underestimating, of course because they might be the ones who score goals instead of being marked.

Real Madrid are lucky just lucky with hungry football players, I don't know what Perez do whisper to their ears anytime they come to the club but they play like their life depend on it and the PR that comes along with it is extraordinary, this is what I don't see happen in Germany leagues and for that, I'm not sure Dortmund will be delivering the way Real Madrid players are going to but we shouldn't underestimate football though, things like yellow card in box 18 and red card are still part of the unexpected we don't discuss often in this time of prematch.

Dortmund's game strategy is likely to be defense and counterattack, while Real Madrid's strategy is to attack. Dortmund advanced to the final with this strategy, but they would lose to Real Madrid if they only used defense and counterattacks. I'm sure Real Madrid will be free to exploit Dortmund's defense if they only play in the defensive area, but if both teams attack equally then there will certainly be something interesting to look forward to instead of hoping for Dortmund's luck.

There is two things I'm expecting to see in this match, it's either Real Madrid score first and maintain the defensive for the rest of the game if Dortmund are super active or they continue to score more goals and pressure them until the end but if Dortmund are to scored first, they will not give Real Madrid a single shot on target and I believe that's what any smart coach will do. It was same strategy Real Madrid use against Liverpool in 21/22 season to win their last Champions League.
