UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Borussia Dortmund players needs to understand this is the most important game of all their lives, and play like that, is his only chance of winning a Champions League, for someones is gonna be the only chance, for others maybe can be other chances ahead in his careers because they are top players like Jadon Sancho, but the rest is gonna be his only bullet, so try to take advantage of that and play at 120% of your capabilities.

I will bet in favor of Real Madrid in this match, as Real Madrid have won every match against Dortmund in the last few games held at this ground and the games have been the most competitive. But in this match, both teams will try hard to win the title, but out of that, Real Madrid team is more likely to win. Because the Real Madrid team has performed well throughout this season which is why they have the potential to win.

In the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Dortmund, most fans will bet on Real Madrid and we think so. In all the Champions League matches so far, I think everyone has bet on Real Madrid in every match except the one against Manchester City. Real Madrid are in good form at the moment and this team can definitely beat Dortmund in the final match. Just as you bet on Real Madrid in the Champions League final, I will bet on Real Madrid as much as possible and I believe I will win by betting on Real Madrid. If Real Madrid's opponent in the final match was Manchester City or Bayern Munich, I would probably refrain from betting on that match.

Both teams certainly have the same motivation to win the Champions League title this season regardless of whatever it is, but I'm sure the final match of Real Madrid vs Dortmund will be quite fierce even though Real Madrid is a slight favorite, but Dortmund is not a team that can be underestimated.

Marco Reus and Kroos' decision to leave the team at the end of the season will of course motivate their friends to give a final gift to the two legends in different teams, so this will be quite balanced for the motivation of the Dortmund and Real Madrid players.

In the next two weeks we will see the spectacular match that has been waiting for will begin, both teams will play the final far from their respective countries and of course Wembley will be the last arena for both teams to show their strength and seriousness in winning the championship trophy and show who is the best between the two, the final match that brings together two teams that have inversely proportional performance this season in their respective leagues will of course be very difficult for us to determine who will win, although Madrid is indeed the favorite team but still Dortmund cannot be underestimated after they destroyed PSG in two semi-final matches.

Like the final final that has happened so far, of course it is undeniable that the match will be an exciting and also tense match throughout the match, because indeed both of them will give all their abilities in the match, but of course we will see how two legends of their team will play their last match in that the match,  It will be the last game that Toni Kross and Marco Reus will play this season, so I think both of them will of course have the respect of their fans and their respective teams in that match and as you said, of course, all the players of both teams will try their best to be able to award Kross and Reus the last prestigious trophy of their careers.

Yes, this season's final between Real Madrid and Dortmund is very mixed in terms of real strength, but football might give birth to surprises that are beyond the predictions of the experts. But to be honest, I also see that Real Madrid has strength above Dortmund so there's nothing wrong with them being the favorites in the final match. So in this way Dortmund will play without any burden and it could make things difficult for Real Madrid. Of course, we all want to see the final match which will really give birth to a spectacular match that can keep the audience entertained.

Talking about opportunities and chances, it may be true that Real Madrid will be very favorites in the upcoming match. The reason is clear that Real Madrid are much better prepared in every way, both mentally, in experience and in the long history of the Champions League that they have been through. It was not easy to beat Real Madrid when they made it to the final and there were many teams who tried to avoid meeting Real Madrid in the group phase until the semi-finals, but Dortmund could not avoid that.

Dortmund must play carefree and they must try to put pressure on Real Madrid, but they must not be careless because Real Madrid is used to pressure. I personally favor Real Madrid but would like to see a match that is much more tense and full of pressure, so that the final match is not watched and is much less boring.

I believe any players will try their best for their last match in Champions League in this season, but it just not enough for Dortmund to win by playing with maximum capabilities. They need luck, while no one can know how lucky is Dortmund in this match.

If all shots by Real Madrid's players hit the crossbar like PSG and Dortmund can score a lucky goal, they will win. But, the chance is really slim and it will become one of greatest upset in football history.

[tygeade]

Farewell Champions League for Toni Kroos or Champions League for the first time for Marco Reus? Of course this will be the most debated thing in the final. We know that initially the news of the separation was announced from Dortmund who said that their club legend would leave them at the end of the season and all football fans hoped to see Marco Reus win the Champions League trophy with Dortmund.

But now it is clear that the situation is different and Real Madrid also have something they have to win together with Toni Kroos who will retire from football after Euro 2024 ends and this will be his 6th Champions League trophy if he manages to win it later. It is clear that all eyes are on these two players from Germany and you need to know that in 2013 the two of them faced each other when Toni Kroos was still in a Bayern Munich uniform and managed to beat Marco Reus, who at the start of his career managed to reach the final with Dortmund. In the future, this will continue to happen where the final place is the same and both of them will leave as legends.

Unfair to Reus because Dortmund isn't as great of a club as Real Madrid, look at what Dortmund has done at their own nation this year and you will see the main reason why that is unfair. Sure Dortmund managed to get here and that means they are still good, but I do not think that even they consider themselves as title contenders, they are happy to be there and that's it.

I personally believe that we need to see something insane, like very very unlikely things happening in the game that could maybe make it work one way or another. I am not really going to end up with something that can change all that much, we should just consider whatever we are going to do. That is why I believe that we are going to see Real win, and a great farewell to Kroos and Modric.

Real Madrid loss two great player for next season after Nacho announce will leave and recently Toni Kroos have announced retired from football after Euro 2024. Its opportunity for both of them getting six Champion League trophies if can winning the last appearance with Real Madrid against Dortmund in the final round. In this season, both of them have many appearance for Real Madrid in domestic league and Champion League matches will make bigger loss difficult to find who will replace both position space left by Nacho and Toni Kroos.

Considering the players level perform, Real Madrid have good composition and get bigger winning percentage ration than Dortmund indeed success eliminating many top team from Atletico Madrid until  PSG from quarter until semifinal round. I see Madrid has opportunity to make another history as the most winner UCL and reaching 15 Champion League trophies.

I can confirm your opinion about Real Madrid's chances in their bid to win the 15th Champions League title in history. Real Madrid have everything to prove themselves great and hard to beat in the final, but considering Dortmund also have a chance then no one can really guarantee who will win the match.

Differences in squad depth, strategy and experience have differentiated Dortmund and Real Madrid, but the teams that will win the title are those that can score goals and maintain their lead until the end of the game. I don't like to underestimate Dortmund, regardless of who is the king of the Champions League so far, Dortmund still has a chance to win and they will try their best.

[topbitcoin]

BTW, Nacho will also be leaving Real Madrid this season so maybe this is the last UCL farewell gift for him. Talking about who deserves the UCL trophy, for me these two teams really deserve to win the UCL league trophy this season because both Real Madrid and Dortmund have performed very impressively from the Group phase to reaching the Final.

However, if we talk about the strength and quality of the Real Madrid squad, they are very favorites to win the 15th trophy. Moreover, when Real Madrid advanced to the final, they never lost and definitely won. Apart from that, Real Madrid never underestimate their opponents, whatever team they face is an opponent they have to beat and they are always focused.

I see Madrid has opportunity to make another history as the most winner UCL and reaching 15 Champion League trophies.

Nacho and Toni Kroos have been confirmed to be leaving Real Madrid this season, it will be the most beautiful farewell if they manage to bring home the champions league trophy, it is indeed the best gift for them with Real Madrid and don't forget the La Liga trophy is in hand, even though they don't get UCL they have La Liga this season, but I doubt they will miss the UCL.

For their replacement I think it's not so clear yet, maybe a few days later we will see who will be targeted by Ancelotti to replace their seats in the Real Madrid Squad, usually they will choose the best players according to them who have extraordinary potential to maintain their performance like now.
Indeed, Real Madrid's win ratio is quite high in any case, but we should not close our eyes about Dortmund, they reached the final and it was not just luck, they played quite well and were good at maintaining victory to make them reach the champions league final this season, even though they were not so good in the domestic league.

[Antotena]

And this UCL competition is the only opportunity to motivate Real Madrid to achieve victory, especially if Kroos manages to lift the UCL trophy this season he will be the only player with the most 6 UCL trophies. His motivation is not much different from Dortmund, because Marco Reus will also try to achieve his final season of winning the UCL trophy. So with the motivation that both teams really want to achieve, we will look at the most exciting match.

You mean highest UCL trophy of our generation or all time high. If Real Madrid win this trophy, Tony Kroos will only have the same number of highest UCL with Paco Gento who played for the same team but Tony Kroos will be the first player to win 6 UCL for a single club which is Real Madrid, he obviously break Ronaldo record and retired so he can face his family and academy but they need to win Dortmund first before we can put that into record.

Approaching the match, many unexpected things will change both teams next season. Left behind by the legends of their respective clubs, it is very likely that Real Madrid and Dortmund will show each other their maximum strength in the final.

What if Real Madrid take in red card in this match and Dortmund win this match, why hasn't anyone think of this, we are all rooting for Real Madrid(excluding me ) but we forgot that there are 100 possibilities just like Doctor strange says in avenger game, they won in one way, we don't know if Real Madrid can do this mistake and lose match to Dortmund. Any thing is possible, Dortmund aren't dummies you know.

In the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Dortmund, most fans will bet on Real Madrid and we think so. In all the Champions League matches so far, I think everyone has bet on Real Madrid in every match except the one against Manchester City. Real Madrid are in good form at the moment and this team can definitely beat Dortmund in the final match. Just as you bet on Real Madrid in the Champions League final, I will bet on Real Madrid as much as possible and I believe I will win by betting on Real Madrid. If Real Madrid's opponent in the final match was Manchester City or Bayern Munich, I would probably refrain from betting on that match.

Even if Real Madrid had Bayern Munich or Manchester city as their opponent in the finals, I would still pick them to win because I know when it comes to the champions league, Real Madrid always know their way around it and they have a record in which they have never lost a single champion league finals before so I doubt if this would be any different because their kind of mentality is such that you would know they will not want to lose the finals for any reason.

It's something they have done severally and it now feels like they have got a hack to the champions league final LS and all they have to do is just making sure they are able to make it to the finals and they can be sure 98% they are winning the trophy. they are the only team across Europe who has won the champions league finals three times in a row and have won over 10 champions league title so for them champions league is something they know too well such that loosing is almost not possible especially when they are playing the finals of a champions league.

I know Dortmund isn't a very weak team but then they don't have the depth of experience Madrid has got so it's very possible they will be able only be able to get the game tough for Madrid but may not eventually win the game. This will make it the second trophy Madrid is winning this season if they eventually win the champions league and for Dortmund their only hope of a trophy for this season may actually not be a reality if they fail to win this.

Final matches often surprise all of us so it will be difficult to guess who will indeed be able to win the match, Madrid status as the ruler of the Champions League and also their many experiences in the Champions League so far, of course, make the majority of football fans today will make Madrid as favorites to win, but we also cannot deny if surprises will be possible in the final match later,  So I think I will try luck by risking a little money for a draw and also Dortmund victory in the final match later, maybe Dortmund will be underestimated because they are not as great as Madrid but that does not mean Dortmund will let Madrid can destroy and beat Dortmund very easily later.

Dortmund this season only pinned their hopes on the final to win the trophy, and for sure it will be very important for all Dortmund players later, so I think all Dortmund players will try to play optimally and also full of enthusiasm to win the match, even though they realize that the expectations they have are very small,  In this case, of course, Dortmund will be able to play loose in the match because of their status as an underdog team.

Toni Kroos will retire from football after the Euro 2024 tournament. So he will not leave Real Madrid and go to another team. He was a terrific player. He was like a true maestro. Having a career like this actually shows his quality. It's a shame that a quality midfielder like him left football. He's 34 and maybe now is the time. He could have played in the Arabian league for 1-2 more years and earned abnormal money like other players recently, but he respected his job and is retiring. I hope we watch him as a coach in the future.

Borussia Dortmund players needs to understand this is the most important game of all their lives, and play like that, is his only chance of winning a Champions League, for someones is gonna be the only chance, for others maybe can be other chances ahead in his careers because they are top players like Jadon Sancho, but the rest is gonna be his only bullet, so try to take advantage of that and play at 120% of your capabilities.

I believe any players will try their best for their last match in Champions League in this season, but it just not enough for Dortmund to win by playing with maximum capabilities. They need luck, while no one can know how lucky is Dortmund in this match.

If all shots by Real Madrid's players hit the crossbar like PSG and Dortmund can score a lucky goal, they will win. But, the chance is really slim and it will become one of greatest upset in football history.

Although Real Madrid is the team that has won the most Champions League trophies but still, that Real Madrid will also continue to make their best efforts for the final match of the Champions League this season. Because after all, Real Madrid also has many young players and ofcourse,they will all still be very ambitious to get theChampions League trophy. Indeed,  this season will be Marco Reus last season at Dortmund but even so, that does not mean Dortmund will get thetrophy easily. Because ofcourse,every player and team will make their bestefforts in the final match, moreover this is the UCL finalmatch which is certainly a hope forthem to get the most prestigious trophy in Europe or even the world.

It would not be right to say for sure without playing the match, but Dortmund will have a really difficult job in this match. If Real Madrid makes the mistakes in the Villarreal match, it may be time to get hopeful for Dortmund, but normally I see Real Madrid as the favorite. Madrid is leading for now, but everything will be determined in the match. Maybe Real Madrid will get an early red card and Dortmund will have the advantage. It's sure to be an exciting match. Real Madrid's probability is 51%.

It took Borussia Dortmund thirteen years to make it to another Champions League final after losing to Bayern Munich in 2013. The players know what is at stake which means they will do all they can to win the trophy. But they are not playing against a mediocre team so they will need to do more to win. Real Madrid is currently the best team in the world in terms of quality players and an experienced technical team.  I see Jadon Sancho as one of the most lucky players this season. He was practically humiliated by Manchester United and sent to the German side. But he has become the star of the club putting up an outstanding performance. He would thank his stars for making him leave a club that has little hope of even making it to the Europa Cup.

Dortmund must play carefree and they must try to put pressure on Real Madrid, but they must not be careless because Real Madrid is used to pressure. I personally favor Real Madrid but would like to see a match that is much more tense and full of pressure, so that the final match is not watched and is much less boring.

If the German side can hold the game till it gets to penalty shootouts, they might become Champions. If Real Madrid makes any error that will cause a goal or red card which might destabilize the team, Borussia Dortmund might also carry the day. I just think that the German side will be depending more on luck than performance because they are no match to Real.

[Asiska02]

Considering the players level perform, Real Madrid have good composition and get bigger winning percentage ration than Dortmund indeed success eliminating many top team from Atletico Madrid until  PSG from quarter until semifinal round. I see Madrid has opportunity to make another history as the most winner UCL and reaching 15 Champion League trophies.

This final is between an amateur team and a professional team who has more experience and more quality in terms of play in this competition than the other. The champions league competition is like a daily meal to Real Madrid that when they’re able to get to the finals, the trophy becomes theirs because they can’t stand losing the trophy when they’ve already set their sights on it.

On the other hand, football still remain the most unpredictable game that you’re not suppose to have an 100% confidence in one team over the other even though it’s clearly so. Dortmund could all surprise us even when its possibility is still very minimal to occur. They’ve come so far to reach the finals, as they can’t stand a chance to win it, they can as well try their best to give Real Madrid a tough time before winning the trophy.

I am not expecting any surprises from Dortmund to the point of winning the trophy and become European champions this season, but I am expecting some surprises of them making the match more difficult for Real Madrid as expected. One thing I know that is not guaranteed is that Real Madrid will be able to win the finals because I have not seen any finals that they were defeated.

Dortmund was able to surprise the world with their performance against PSG which made them qualify to the finals, but PSG is not Real Madrid that are used to playing the finals and they are stronger than PSG in all aspect. This is why I don't think that Dortmund will be able to win Real Madrid because Ancelotti is a coach that has the experience on games like this.

They'll do everything they can to beat Real Madrid but it sounds impossible considering that real madrid is now climbing up to reach its peak performance. I'm still skeptical, given how strong Real Madrid is and I'd like to point out another important factor such as Bellingham's presence to help madrid in getting various information about the gameplay of dortmund. I'm sure Ancellotti is trying to learn as much as he can about Dortmund from Bellingham and this is gonna be very useful information.
Some players, such as Sancho and Maatsen, have been dubbed failures on their parents club and yet they came to the dortmund to prove if those partent clubs are wrong. They must be proving themselves worthy of winning the UCL this season.

Their chances of winning the UCL are getting closer this time. I am so confident that Real Madrid will win the game soon. There will be no club that can stop Madrid from beating Dortmund.
Not even a German team, like Dortmund. What Dortmund can do is constantly play defensively against Real Madrid.

Well, you can accuse Dortmund of everything in the world because they are facing the mighty Real Madrid, but please don't accuse them of being an amateur football club. Or do you have any other definition of amateur? Dortmund is the biggest name in Bundesliga after Bayern Munich, so I don't know why you should refer to them as an amateur football club. I acknowledge that they are not understand level with Real Madrid, but then they should be referred to as a professional footballer club.

In the finals between Real Madrid and Dortmund, anyone predicting that Dortmund will win is actually taking the bigger risk. It is obvious that Real Madrid will take the day unless football things happen that day. However predicting that Real Madrid will win and or predicting that that Monday will win are both to risks because nothing is certain however saying that Dortmund will win is a bigger risk

On the other hand, football still remain the most unpredictable game that you’re not suppose to have an 100% confidence in one team over the other even though it’s clearly so.

All I pray for is for an interesting finals, no matter who wins. I wouldn't want the excitement in the semi finals to be greater than the finals.

To call Dortmund amateurs is a gross exaggeration  
Maybe compared to Real, many teams look weak, but as has already been mentioned many times, this is one game, so the randomness of the result is higher than in a two-game confrontation or a round-robin tournament, so the result is not guaranteed.
By the way, for some reason the quote that caught my attention (Real Madrid win with handicap -1) has become even more attractive: it is now 2.63.
