UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Dortmund seems unfavorable teams for winning the Champion League but since knock out round have eliminated many top teams until the semifinal round won against PSG on home and away match.

This year's Champion League championship seems to be different with the new name Dortmund. Until this final, Dortmund was still underrated, but I think Dortmund faced less pressure than Real. Real is a name that is too familiar with the Champion League championship. Dortmund has not been in the final for a long time and in the history of the Champion League they only got champion once.

Dortmund is not a weak team, but their reaching the final this year is also considered a phenomenon. Quite similar to Porto winning the championship in 2004. There are two things that can help a weaker team win the championship: they need to be better than usual, and they must be the strongest among the remaining weak teams. But strangely, Dortmund is in the worst recession in the past 5 years and their squad is counting on the performance of veterans like Reus and Hummels . And This was also the match where Dortmund witnessed Bellingham who is brightest star of them in the past few years, disillusioning them.

[klidex]

Almost everyone on the forum said the same thing, that Real Madrid is the favorite to win this season except Dortmund fans. Dortmund went through a quite crucial phase and they won in a way that was not easy.
If you want to see before reaching the final, it could be said that Real Madrid was also lucky because they managed to beat Manchester City on penalties.
Real Madrid's strength lies in mental readiness and experience, these two things will be weapons for them to beat Dortmund. But even so, Dortmund cannot be underestimated because they have come this far also because of hard work and team solidarity.

This is because everyone believes that Real Madrid has greater strength in the Champions League and has gone through quite difficult matches so far. Indeed, Dortmund did not achieve all this easily but fortunately they did not face quite difficult opponents. Real Madrid did experience luck against Manchester City because they won on penalties but they scored a draw which means that both clubs have equal performance and this can be used as a reference that Real Madrid's performance is very strong in the Champions League. Even though Manchester City was the champion of the Champions League last season. If this season has the same performance as Real Madrid, it means that Real Madrid has a big chance of becoming champion.

Real Madrid's mental readiness cannot be ignored because it is very important on the pitch. Vinicius Jr., Toni Kroos and Rodrygo are players who have quite good mental readiness in the Champions League so I don't doubt them, of course we can't ignore Bellingham and Juselu but regarding Mental problems. In my opinion, Bellingham does not have a good mentality when playing in the Champions League, but Juselu can be relied on by the club when needed considering his performance which was able to save Real Madrid against Bayern Munich in the semifinals.

80% is too low for Real Madrid's chances of winning in my opinion, why not give 90% more?  
I know it is very unfair to underestimate Dortmund in the Champions League final, but since the opponent is Real Madrid then Dortmund's low chances seem reasonable. Dortmund have beaten many of the favorites so far in the Champions League including Atletico Madrid and PSG, but they have to face super favorites in the final which means they will have to work twice as much to hope for victory.

Everyone believes that only Real Madrid has a chance of winning, but it does not rule out the possibility that Real Madrid could still lose. Even though Real Madrid has never lost in many Champions League finals, the chance of Real Madrid losing to Dortmund cannot be ignored. Dortmund will be ready to give it their all after struggling since the group stage against strong teams, the round of 16, the quarter-finals and the semifinal, so they will have to be 200% better to beat the big favorites.

Real Madrid have a higher chance of winning the league this season than Dortmund. The final match will be a winning match for Real because the have the players that can bring home the trophy no matter the club that they will meet, none of them will be an obstacle to Madrid.

Ancelotti will always come up with a strategy that will favor his men on the pitch, and these players have the strength, skills and confidence which is what makes them different from the rest clubs. Dortmund is also strong for them to reach the finals but Real Madrid is the strongest.

It was deemed that the final match did not bring together a team that was balanced in terms of squad depth and experience of the two coaches. Real Madrid were superior on paper, but a different reality was still possible during the 90 minutes. The winner will be determined within 90 minutes, even up to a penalty shootout, but I'm sure the final match this season will only last until 90 minutes.

80% is too low for Real Madrid's chances of winning in my opinion, why not give 90% more?  

It is a personal prediction, it is no problem to give 70%, 80%, 90%, or even 100%.  
However, we don't know what will happen in the match. The prediction has nothing to do with the real chance of winning the match. It will depend on the teams to play in the match. The team which is not ready for the match, they will have a smaller chance to win.

I know that, it's just a joke.
Both teams should be equally ready to face the final match. Dortmund, who don't have much experience in finals, is certainly not the favorite team to win it, while Real Madrid, with their experience of 18 finals, is certainly the favorite. There is clearly a chance for both teams to win, but the high or low of that chance may change during the match.

Everyone believes that only Real Madrid has a chance of winning, but it does not rule out the possibility that Real Madrid could still lose.

True. Whatever the stats of Real Madrid performance in the previous UCL finals, the chance to get a lose will be always there. So, it is surely not impossible if Real Madrid can be defeated by Dortmund even if Dortmund basically has a lower squad quality.

Of course, you are right about what you just said. We are talking about past history, especially about Real Madrid's winning record in the Champions League final. Dortmund is underdog in final, but they could be very dangerous and may make their own history this season.

By the way, Real Madrid has three games before the final, especially La Liga matches against the following three teams:

• Alaves
• Villarreal
• Real Betis

Meanwhile, SV Darmstadt 98 is the only Bundesliga team remaining on Dortmund's fixture list ahead of the Champions League final. Dortmund have a long break before the final, while Real Madrid have three games.

We all know that Real Madrid is the favorite to win this season's UEFA Champions League trophy, but let's not forget that this is football and anything is possible. Borussia Dortmund's head coach can decide to use the tactics that would make Real Madrid not to score a goal against Borussia Dortmund, and the final could be settled in a penalty shootout. Let's not underestimate Borussia Dortmund, even though Real Madrid has more chances to win the UEFA Champions League trophy.

surprises can definitely happen, not only in the final round, but in the round of 16 it can also provide unexpected surprises, but as long as Real Madrid can be consistent without making mistakes that have a negative impact, Real Madrid can definitely win the title even if it ends in the penalty round.
no one underestimates Dortmund and everyone also believes that these two teams have the same chance of winning the UCL title.
but from my own thoughts, it looks like both teams will still score but Real Madrid will still win because Ancelotti knows that if it ends in the penalty round there will be a very high risk of failing to win the title.
I am sure that in this match Ancelotti will use a different strategy than before and my prediction is that in the first half maybe Real Madrid will have difficulty scoring and in the second half Madrid will definitely give another surprise.

I think no one should underestimate Borussia Dortmund, the final match will of course be different and everything is still possible and every team that has been in the final is the best team this season so I don't think that Real Madrid will underestimate Borussia Dortmund in final match later.
And I think that Real Madrid are favored too much, they are slightly favored because in terms of quality Real Madrid is a little better than Borussia Dortmund this season but I'm sure the final match will still be fierce later.

[Mame89]

I am sure Real Madrid will become UCL champions this season. We should not underestimate Dortmund because every team that makes it to the final is the best team in the competition. Dortmund has the luck and strength to reach the final. They can surprise you with unexpected results in the final. However, based on data and analysis, many predict that Madrid will become champions. I think it makes sense because Real Madrid has a good record in the UCL. I see they are a very solid team. I predict Madrid will win the UCL with a score of 1-0 or 2-0.

Almost everyone on the forum said the same thing, that Real Madrid is the favorite to win this season except Dortmund fans. Dortmund went through a quite crucial phase and they won in a way that was not easy.

Yes that's right. From the preparations leading up to the final, these two teams are very different, and there is no need to doubt the quality of Real Madrid. In the domestic league, the fate of the two teams was different, Dortmund lost badly to the red zone team, namely Mainz, and Real Madrid won 4-0 over Granada and then actually won 5-0 against Alaves. From this we can conclude that Real Madrid is really ready to face Dortmund in the UCL League final. Even though there are still several weeks before the final match for both teams to prepare, Real Madrid's consistency is beyond doubt.

This is very different from Dortmund in the domestic league, whose performance is inconsistent. The game under Terzic is unpredictable and sometimes the game is bad, sometimes it is good. However, Dortmund in the UCL League has become a smart team, they seem to know when to take advantage of opportunities effectively, they know when to play pragmatically. So, even though Real Madrid are favorites in the final match, Dortmund still cannot be underestimated. They could have been like Chelsea at that time, in the domestic league they played badly but in the UCL league they got the Trophy.

Nobody wants Real Madrid to win another CL except for Madrid fans.

It's good that Dortmund's fans are behind the players. But that's not really relevant when half of the Webmley staduim is going to be filled with celebrities and iShowSpeed youtuber types anyway. The fans will really not be able to do anything to help them in the final, so it's up to the players to stop them.

I don't have my hopes up though. It's gonna be like that Man City vs Inter final last year, won't it.

This year's Champion League championship seems to be different with the new name Dortmund. Until this final, Dortmund was still underrated, but I think Dortmund faced less pressure than Real. Real is a name that is too familiar with the Champion League championship. Dortmund has not been in the final for a long time and in the history of the Champion League they only got champion once.

Dortmund is not a weak team, but their reaching the final this year is also considered a phenomenon. Quite similar to Porto winning the championship in 2004.

But strangely, Dortmund is in the worst recession in the past 5 years and their squad is counting on the performance of veterans like Reus and Hummels . And This was also the match where Dortmund witnessed Bellingham who is brightest star of them in the past few years, disillusioning them.

It seems like there are more people who favor Real Madrid compared to Dortmund and of course, if the Madrid players know there will be positive and negative pressure, if the pressure is negative, maybe Madrid will feel popular, which in the end makes the mentality forced to be tired because it will be focused on winning, but sometimes it can happen. There will be tension while playing which will ultimately be an advantage for Dortmund. But on the positive side, Real Madrid will be more enthusiastic because many people favor Real Madrid and of course Madrid will definitely be enthusiastic during the match. but in this case of course Real Madrid in terms of mentality seems to be strong and it looks like the competition will go well.

I agree with you, it seems that Dortmund certainly doesn't have a lot of pressure, of course this will make Dortmund's mentality potentially calm. Of course, if you look at it from a positive perspective, Dortmund will play calmly but endanger the opponent.

But what is clear is that Dortmund is truly a surprising team and of course the two teams that advanced to the final are truly special teams.

No one can predict the outcome of a match perfectly, although most of the members on this forum, especially football fans, will certainly make Real Madrid the favorite to win the UCL trophy. Dortmund fans will remain confident in Dortmund's quality and ability to win the UCL trophy, they will support their team even though they are not favorites to win.

Only the belief that exists within them that something can happen in football can provide enthusiasm for Dortmund players and also their loyal fans. Dortmund must provide a more solid game and close the space for Real Madrid players to score goals and take advantage of good attacks to break into Real Madrid goal. Dortmund could be a stumbling block for Real Madrid in adding to their trophy this season.

By the way, Anceloti was able to surprise in the matches with City when he chose a defensive strategy against City, it was very unexpected and Real showed that, if necessary, they can defend very well. But in the matches with City everything was decided in a penalty shootout, because the teams played very well, the matches were equal and it was very difficult to determine the winner from the game. And penalties are, to some extent, luck and the skill of the goalkeepers. Lunin really was better that evening. By the way, who will Ancelotti put in the final, Courtois or Lunin?

You are right, Borussia Dortmund players should not allow the 14 UEFA Champions League trophy won by Real Madrid to scare them; they should believe that they will play against Real Madrid and even beat them in the UEFA Champions League finals. But if Borussia Dortmund players are afraid of Real Madrid and think they cannot beat them because they know how to win against their opponents in the UEFA Champions League, they will lose heavily to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League finals.

Of course, Real Madrid will always be the favorite team in the Champions League because of its status as king in this competition. Dortmund must be careful and prevent making even the slightest mistake because Real Madrid always manages to take advantage of their opponents' mistakes. The enthusiasm shown by Dortmund players must be appreciated and should be watched out for as a threat to Real Madrid, they could make a surprise because all the negative predictions for them since the group stage were successfully broken with the maximum results they always achieved. Now Dortmund are just one step away from lifting the trophy, they have to show their class in front of Real Madrid who are ready to become the new champions in this competition.

Real Madrid always becomes the favorite team to win UCL final because they have good stats in the final UCL. It isn't because their status as the king of UCL, this status doesn't influence anything for the match. Sure, if Dortmund makes a mistake, it will be the advantage for Real Madrid. However, Real Madrid also can do a mistake, both teams have the same chance to do mistakes. Both teams must be careful because the final match is always full of a surprise, they must prepare well and be focused 100% on the match.

I'm sure Ancelotti will never underestimate Dortmund. Every team that can reach the final round must be a strong team, Dortmund has proven that they are stronger than other teams. No doubt Dortmund players can surprise Real Madrid if they are not ready to fight with Dortmund. But since Real Madrid already experienced many UCL finals, they understand how to deal with this condition. They know how to prepare themselves for the final match against Dortmund.

Unlike you, I think Real Madrid can easily beat Borussia Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund used all their chances in the 2 PSG matches, but I don't think they will be like that against Real. Real was playing great both offensively and defensively against every team. I believe we will see the same thing in the finale.

Even if Real Madrid has proven that they have great attack and defense, Dortmund shouldn't be easily defeated in the final match. We must be aware that Dortmund will play in the final match, they may play more defensively. Real Madrid won't be easy to get chances for scoring goals if Dortmund plays defensively. Moreover, Dortmund has great players if they use a counter-attack strategy.

Lunin made a big contribution when Real Madrid managed to get rid of Manchester City in the penalty shootout, his skills in reading the direction of the ball were worthy of appreciation and he managed to prove to Ancelotti that he deserved to be included in the main squad. In the last two matches Real Madrid played in La Liga, Ancelotti always entrusted the goalkeeper position to Courtois, perhaps in the final match Ancelotti will again include Courtois name in the main squad when Real Madrid faces Dortmund.
I don't really care which goalkeeper Ancelotti plays, both have the quality to fill the main squad. Ancelotti, who is very experienced in arranging strategy, will certainly have full confidence in the players who will be included in the main line-up, their success in maintaining their performance will give them an advantage in this final.

Real Madrid is having a great time. Crushing Granada and taking control of Alaves are HUGE wins. No one can stop them, and they keep their cool under pressure. I promise you thats championship stuff. But dont give up on Dortmund, folks. These guys are strong. They've had some rough patches, but in the Champions League, they're a whole other team. They have heart, grit, and an amazing team attitude that will get them through anything.

Its important to remember that this is sports. Anything could happen. I've seen losers win big, and Dortmund could do the same. There's a chance that Dortmund will shock everyone when they come out, even though Real Madrid might look like the favorite on paper. Really, really, really, really, really, really great match.

A lot debate have been going on since Real Madrid qualified to play in the final of this season's UEFA Champions League competition and the debate is about who should stand in between sticks for the Spanish giants when they play against Borussia Dortmund in Wembley stadium come June 1st. For some people, they prefer that the club's best goalkeeper of the season Andriy Lunin should be the one for the occasion while for others, they say that choosing Thibaut Courtois will be a better choice. In my own opinion, I think it'll be unjust for Lunin after every thing he did at Real Madrid this season and how he helped them reach the final fail to start in goal when they play in the final

The injury suffered by Courtois forced Ancelotti to play lunin in every game they played in the rest of the season, but for now Courtois has recovered and is ready to become Madrid main goalkeeper again, but I think it will actually give Ancelotti a dilemma at this time, in the rest of La Liga matches of course Ancelotti can play lunin and courtois alternately but the Champions League of course the right decision must be taken by Ancelotti Later, after returning from injury, Courtois is able to perform quite optimally and maybe even return to his current best level, as well as Lunin, after Courtois is injured, isn't he the one who helped Madrid reach the Champions League final while helping Madrid lock in the La Liga title this season quickly and I think he should be able to get priority to be able to play in the final later.


Madrid have two great goalkeepers in their squad and of course that would mean Ancelotti should really be able to use them well at the moment, Courtois should be better focused on playing in the remaining La Liga games this season, while Lunin's performance is quite good and consistent at the moment in the Champions League certainly makes Lunin very worthy of a starting place in the final match later,  Facing Dortmund, who have a fast and high counterattack intensity, of course Madrid needs a goalkeeper who is in his best form and the right choice is of course lunin at this time.

[Fuso.hp]

Real Madrid over confidence for final match after winning in domestic league and Dortmund have defeated by Mainz over 3-0, currently Dortmund has advantage with domestic league left one match and get many days taking rest than Real Madrid has two matches left and taking one week recovery from their last match.
However, Madrid won the La Liga tittle and will make bigger rotation for two matches later against Villareal and Real Betis, Madrid want to win UEFA Champion League tittle and make completed achievement this season by winning domestic league UEFA Champion League.

Dortmund seems unfavorable teams for winning the Champion League but since knock out round have eliminated many top teams until the semifinal round won against PSG on home and away match.

Real Madrid is far ahead of Dortmund in terms of performance and confidence, so the chances of Real Madrid winning the final match are high. Another positive thing for Real Madrid is that Real Madrid has no injury problem which means all the players in their starting XI can play in the Champions League final for Real Madrid. Since no players are injured it will be much easier for the manager to select the team and he will be able to line up the eleven with the best stars of his team. This season Real Madrid is going to win the Champions League title next season Mbappe joins Real Madrid in that case also next season but I don't see any team that can compete with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

This is not a normal season for Courtois and there is Andriy Lunin who has been outstanding at times Courtois suffered an injury at the start of this season. The injury kept him out for a very long time. The Belgian goalkeeper only played in Week 34 of La Liga, when Real Madrid won 3-0 against Cadiz. Even though he has been absent for a long time, Courtois' level is still maintained. He remains difficult for opponents to break down. In fact, in the three La Liga matches played, Courtois did not concede at all. Courtois showed an extraordinary performance when Madrid met Deportivo Alaves in matchday 36. The 32 year old goalkeeper made 10 saves. Courtois gave a code that he was ready to compete with Lunin.

 The question is, who will be Real Madrid's main goalkeeper in this season's Champions League final? Lunin should be the main choice. Lunin appeared very consistent throughout the season, including in the Champions League. However, Courtois is also worthy because he has proven to remain competitive after recovering from injury.

The injury suffered by Courtois forced Ancelotti to play lunin in every game they played in the rest of the season, but for now Courtois has recovered and is ready to become Madrid main goalkeeper again, but I think it will actually give Ancelotti a dilemma at this time, in the rest of La Liga matches of course Ancelotti can play lunin and courtois alternately but the Champions League of course the right decision must be taken by Ancelotti

Courtois is a great goalkeeper from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea then Real Madrid, he always shown his great saving skills but it's unfair for Lunin if Ancelotti chose Courtois for the Champions League final match. Because throughout the season, Lunin contributes a lot and makes many great saves to bring Real Madrid to the final match. First, it's issue to respect Lunin.

Second issue if choosing Courtois, it's risky to pick a goalkeeper who missed most of the season and only returns recently, for a most important match of a season. I believe Ancelotti will pick Lunin for the match because of both reasons, respect for contributions of Lunin, and risk from Courtois' performance after his injury recovery.

Real Madrid is far ahead of Dortmund in terms of performance and confidence, so the chances of Real Madrid winning the final match are high. Another positive thing for Real Madrid is that Real Madrid has no injury problem which means all the players in their starting XI can play in the Champions League final for Real Madrid.

On paper, Real Madrid have many supporting factors to beat Dortmund in the final. In an actual match, not on paper, if Real Madrid players play as well as normally, they are able to beat Dortmund and one more Champions League trophy for their club.

Real Madrid have very deep squad but have no player injury before the final match looks to be a good information on player resource for Carlo Ancelotti.

[Franctoshi]

This season Real Madrid is going to win the Champions League title next season Mbappe joins Real Madrid in that case also next season

I agree with you that they have more chances of winning the trophy, bedside they eliminated stronger teams like Manchester City and Bayern Munich to get there,  so I see no pressure at all on Madrid side, and also they're used to the Champions league final stage more than Borussia Dortmund do who hasn't had much opportunity to reach the final stage.

I don't see any team that can compete with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Don't judge what have happened this season to predict next season, there's going a lot of reshuffling both for Managers and players side who will switch clubs during transfer window, Remember Bayern Leverkusen is their unbeaten and they didn't have the opportunity to face Real Madrid with their form ,and Inter Milan was also superb in their league and you could see more incredible performance next season from these teams, so until next season Champions league never write off the ability of any team.
