UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Docnaster]

The final doesn't have two legs, it's a 90 minute game and it can go in favor of any team. Real Madrid surely looks the better team but Dortmund is also a competitive one. If Dortmund are able to defend against and score a goal or two in counter, they can have a win. The recent win of Manchester United against Manchester City in FA cup is an example where the stronger team controlled most of the game but failed to score. Leverkusen also lost to a less anticipated Atlanta in Europa Cup. I don't mean the trend needs to follow but unlike a league, you just need to have a couple of good hours to win the final.

This is some kind of jokes I guess but it's a hilarious one and there's every possiblity that the joke will go on to become a reality when the final whistle of the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday is blown. In the past one week, we've experienced surprising results in two major finals which is why some football fans across the globe is of the opinion that we might just also be greeted with another surprise in the UCL final.
Firstly it was Atalanta who defiled all odds and defeated a Bayer Leverkusen side that's never lost a game in any of their previous 51 games to lift the UEFA Europa League trophy and on Saturday, Manchester United defeated their city rivals Manchester City who recently retained the English Premier League title. Borussia Dortmund without doubt is the underdog in the UCL final against Real Madrid so there is still a possibility of seeing the German Bundesliga club defeat Real Madrid in that final but as a Real Madrid fan who knows very much about the club, i don't think Carlo Ancelotti's men will lose that final.

Real Madrid needs to be wary of Dortmund because we have seen two finals in other competitions end beyond most people's predictions. It is possible that a trend like this will be repeated by Dortmund because now they are much more motivated to make new history for the club. If you look at it in terms of quality, experience and readiness, Real Madrid will be quite the favorite, but anything can happen if Real Madrid considers this match easy.

Manchester United and Atalanta are motivation for Dortmund because even though they are inferior in quality to their opponents, they managed to surprise them. Ancelotti has to be quite wary of this because when Dortmund play at their best level, like when they beat PSG, it will be much more difficult to beat them.

What are you talking about, what kind of analytics is this, do you want to say that finals from different tournaments that are in no way connected with each other can somehow affect the final of the Champions League? )) Firstly, Atalanta is not a weak team, and Bayer was lucky in the playoffs and they did not play against strong teams, and Bayer had a good season, but they were simply lucky more than once. Real is a completely different team, which relies only on itself, has excellent defense and attack, and they got to the final for a reason. Dortmund's chances are really small, and the victory of Atalanta and Manchester United does not play any role here.

Recently, we were surprised by the final result which was beyond predictions and who would have thought that even the favorite team would fall in front of a team that should not have been able to win the title. I think this match of results could continue and maybe we will also see something that is not much different from the Champions League final match.

But I think it's still not easy if you only talk about it for 90 minutes and things like that are sometimes results that we rarely see. On the other hand, sometimes the final is much more tense if the result has to be determined through extra time or a penalty shootout. At that time, all the players will run out of stamina and what is left is only the players' mentality. I think Dortmund also want to end this final match in just 90 minutes and they don't want to face Real Madrid until the penalty shootout. Maybe that's a risk Dortmund wants to avoid.

In the final match, anything is still possible to happen and we have just seen the Europa League final match which was full of surprises when Leverkusen, who were the favorites, actually lost with a landslide score, as did Dortmund and Real Madrid in the final match this weekend. allows it to happen.
I think there are only a few people who favor Real Madrid too much and I think Real Madrid is a big team that is often in the final and they know what they have to do in the final.

Real Madrid will actually be more dangerous when they reach the final so I wouldn't think that Real Madrid would suffer the same fate as Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League. However, I am also looking forward to an interesting match that can be watched by many people at the end of this season because I am quite sure that the Champions League final is a match that is eagerly awaited by many people, including fans of the two teams. So I don't think that in that match there will be any surprises like what happened in the Europa League this season because I am more imagining how fierce the final match will be for Real Madrid and Dortmund.

[Catenaccio]

You know what? Your idea may work. Dortmund have proven they can compete with the big boys. Shutting out Mbappe over two legs? No small feat! Yes, anything can happen in a final.

Dortmund played well in semi final matches against PSG but their clean sheet is from their strong defense and luck support too. Without luck support and some bad finishes from PSG, Dortmund would have not had a clean sheet after two semi finals.

Anyway from semi final clean sheet, Dortmund will start the final match with very strong confidence on their defensive ability and this will be foundation for surprise they can make in the final match.

Just look at Europa League events. Even though Leverkusen were the favorites, Atalanta had other intentions. It shows that underdogs may succeed under duress and large stakes. If Dortmund can hold things tight at the back and weather Real's early storm, who knows? Perhaps they can surprise. Madrid has talent all over the pitch, so it won't be simple. We've learnt from this season's European finals to expect the unexpected!

In big matches like finals, one opening goal can change a lot of things in the match because a team that score an opening goal and a team get a first conceded goal will have to change their initial tactics a lot. Sometimes they fail to switch tactics and it opens more opportunities for their opponent to score more goals.

It's what happened with Leverkusen in the Europa League final match, they tried to equalize the match after a first conceded goal but let Atalanta scored a second and a third goal. Real Madrid had similar experience in their semi finals with Dortmund years ago, when Lewandowski scored four goals in that match.

maybe what @ancafe said is one of the concerns as a bettor who might be a little worried if a surprise occurs in this UCL match and I understand the fear experienced @ancafe.
but believe me, I fully support @Cryptmuster opinion which is very reasonable and easy to understand because in other competitions it is very different and will not affect the match in the UCL.
from my personal opinion, in simple terms, if Madrid makes it to the final round, that is a sign that Madrid has a guarantee of getting the UCL title and that has often happened in the past.
and in terms of squad depth, Madrid is superior and more qualified in terms of talent all Madrid players are very good and there is no need to doubt it.

If you compare the cases between the UCL, UEL and FA Cup, this is actually unfair because each competition has its own goals and the UCL is the highest competition that all teams really want and the experience in the final is also very influential.
most people may not really understand how Atalanta is actually more experienced and stronger in performance than Leverkusen, but most people will say Leverkusen will win because of the positive trend, while they ignore the depth of Atalanta performance.
and in the case of the FA Cup match, we all know who Man City is and what their relationship is with Man United even though it is a rival team, but if Man City manages to beat MU, of course Man United will not be able to get a ticket to any competition and Man City is their neighbor MU tries to give MU the opportunity to win the FA Cup and get UEL tickets.

so, that's why sometimes we have to look deeper before feeling excessive fear because every case has a purpose that may not be easy to understand.
but what is certain is that whatever happens, I am willing to bet that Madrid will win the UCL title.

[Ahli38]

It is now scary for Real Madrid, having seen how it keeps favouring the less favourite teams in most league finals, starting from Atalanta Vs Leverkusen to Manchester City Vs Manchester United. The Champions league being one of the biggest league, we might probably get to see nothing different from the others or Madrid might see it as a bigger challenge which requires them to improve in their performance. The odds are now changing, many gamblers are now hesitant on betting Madrid as the winners, even if at last get to secure the title, it won't be an easy victory and would take a lot of composure to do so.

Betting on the underdog seems even more dubious nowadays. The two final matches (European League Final and FA Cup Final) have indeed changed our perception about who will be the favorite in the Champions League final match. Atalanta surprised everyone because they managed to beat Leverkusen, who had never lost before this season. In fact, Atalanta is the only team that has managed to beat Leverkusen this season. And in the FA Cup it surprised me even more. Because who would have thought that Manchester City would lose to Manchester United, who have been very inconsistent this season. The results of this match even made those of us who were initially sure about betting on Real Madrid have to think twice. Because it's possible that the same thing will happen in the Champions League. But I may have to reassure myself that Real Madrid will not lose in the Champions League Final. Because it has been a very long time since Real Madrid last lost in the Champions League Final.

Maybe I would also say the same thing as you if it was another team playing but different from the Real Madrid team because we know this team is iconic in the Champions League and it has been proven that as long as they compete in the Champions League the mentality of the Madrid team players will improve so of course it will worked hard in the Champions League Final match against the Dortmound team, I am sure that the Real Madrid team will not suffer the same fate as the Leverkusen team and it seems there is no need to compare the two teams because the Leverkusen team is not as strong as the Real Madrid team when competing in the Europa League.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid is a very dangerous club in final matches, if in regular matches they are good, in final matches they will be much better. I can say that because I saw their history when they were in finals, especially in the Champions League final. Anyone who sees Real Madrid will say that Real Madrid will win this final match.

But they shouldn't have too much self-confidence, self-confidence is a good thing, but I mean they shouldn't be over-confident, because that might destroy them. Even though Borussia Dortmund are not the favorites, that doesn't mean they will just give up on Real Madrid so that Real Madrid can easily win this final match. The coach will definitely rack his brains so that the strategy he implements can be applied well by his team and can also be effective in suppressing Real Madrid.

[swogerino]

I also don't think that Real Madrid would suffer the same fate as Leverkussen.I am sure that Real has much more experience in such events and finals as they have won this trophy more than any other team while Dortmund only one time some years before the 2000-s and as such I expect Real to keep a cool head and to win.Dortmund on the other hand got nothing to lose and as such they will play as freely as possible so I would not write them off yet,I know this final will be better than the last one.

Real Madrid are known as one of the dangerous teams that when it comes to finals and I doubt that Dortmund would stand a chance but football is filled with surprises and you could suprised at what might happen and that's another reason to be skeptical again is because it's practically a final and we all saw what happened at the derby finals between Manchester united and Manchester city which the whole world taught that Manchester city would win and to everyone's suprised the results went sideways and same faith too occured with Bayern Leverkusen and Atlanta so if this clubs can lose a final that's practically displays them as winners then anything can happen even los blancos can lose that final to Dortmund.

I doubt if those results from other leagues in any way scares Madrid, rather they will be learning from it a d stepping up their preparations having in mind that anything can happen since it did happened to Leverkusen and Manchester city in their finals they have to be prepared and not take anything for granted rather getting prepared ahead knowing they can become victims of circumstances like the other room teams in their finals.

If not the Leverkusen game, Manchester city game is a big one to learn from for Madrid and I'm sure they have noted it and are definitely working towards making sure no barrier arises from that except only that they are going to win even if it's by a single goal, what's most important is in them winning and becoming different amongst all other room team who weren't able to win their final games this season , so they can take exemption to it and not lose the trophy as they have never gotten to a champions league finals before and didn't get to win the trophy by the end of the season.

I know this results will definitely cause some forms of panic amongst gamblers which will definitely get them to think Madrid will not be able to win this finals as they aught to have buy I don't think there's any need for such because with Madrid it appears like a totally different case , what's at stake is just too huge for Madrid to want to mess this up, the champions league comes with so much even tho I know same comes with thw Europa buy it's definitely going to be different with the champions league.

Ancelotti should understand this situation and should not underestimate Dortmund in the final. The Man United and Man City matches can be a lesson not to underestimate the opposing team. This is because I read the news that Man City had a celebration party for the EPL champions. But it seems that it is not the right reason because the distance is quite far from the FA Final. I saw that Guardiola was unable to maximize the strategy and the players' poor finishing became the misery of failing to win the FA.

Although Madrid currently have the same status as La Liga champions, it seems that they will not be stupid like Man City. I am optimistic about Real Madrid to win the UCL this season.  They will work hard for 3 champions in one season. Toni Kroos will certainly do his best as the last match. Because he will soon retire from Real Madrid.

Manchester United and Atalanta are motivation for Dortmund because even though they are inferior in quality to their opponents, they managed to surprise them. Ancelotti has to be quite wary of this because when Dortmund play at their best level, like when they beat PSG, it will be much more difficult to beat them.

With how those previous finals of Atalanta and Bayern Leverkusen in the Europa league ended in favour of Atalanta as against the most anticipated Bayern Leverkusen that had the most possibility of winning and at end the reverse was the case, again Manchester city against Manchester United F.A cup finals also ended against people's predictions that Manchester city will win but at the end Manchester United won it very easy so Real Madrid needs to be very vigilant against Borussia Dortmund if they don't want to have similar experience as Bayern Leverkusen and Manchester City had and considering the fact that Real Madrid couldn't win Real betis in their last game of the season even when they started high profile and quality players, they need to be more focused when they meet Dortmund in the finals if they must add to the already 14 champions league titles they have now but however the finals will be an Epic game because Borussia Dortmund isn't gonna give up easily because it still amazes me how they were able to conquer Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals and PSG in the semi finals and qualified for the finals because this are literally teams that are stronger than Borussia Dortmund on a normal assessment.

Carlo Ancelotti with all his experience as a top football manager who's managed a club as well as and win the league in the top five leagues in Europe never needed to see the result of the final games between Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen and that of Manchester United vs Manchester City before he should know that it'll be extremely detrimental to underrate the strength of of his team's opponent in the UEFA Champions League final. Borussia Dortmund this season have been very impressive in the competition and were unable to secure any other trophy this season so Carlo Ancelotti I think will expect them to come up with their best tactical approach as well as their best performance in the whole season when the play against Real Madrid in that all important final.
Real Madrid having won the UEFA Champions League trophy in 14 different occasions already understands how the game works and you would definitely expect them to be at their best in other to win the competition one more time when they play at Wembley this weekend.

Because it has been a very long time since Real Madrid last lost in the Champions League Final.

Its difference atmosphere when comparison between UEFA Europe League final match and Champion League, Real Madrid had much experienced as the winner team when success qualifying to final round difference with Dortmund as underrate teams make us surprised after their achievement lead to final round. Actually the Europe League winner Atalanta is not weakness team because success eliminating top candidate winner teams Liverpool on quarter final round.

In my opinion, Madrid is more favorite team will win UEFA Champion League trophy in this season because their composition players perform more better than Dortmund. Real  Madrid have advantage with faster counter attack than Dortmund playing more individual exactly with Jadon Sancho and make Madrid has bigger chance for winning the final match.

Yes, the point is that Real Madrid cannot feel superior, as long as they don't underestimate Dortmund then the match can continue according to plan to win. Dortmund is trying to be part of a team that was initially favored and then emerged victorious. But once again Real Madrid is not the type of club that is arrogant, for them whoever their opponent is in the final is a tough opponent. Therefore, I hope Ancelotti stays on track by remaining alert and not feeling like he won the match easily. I'm sure the Real Madrid players are aware of this. From their struggle to beat teams like Man City and Bayern Munich, it means that Real Madrid still considers Dortmund to be a team with great strength.

[Google+]

I also don't think that Real Madrid would suffer the same fate as Leverkussen.I am sure that Real has much more experience in such events and finals as they have won this trophy more than any other team while Dortmund only one time some years before the 2000-s and as such I expect Real to keep a cool head and to win.Dortmund on the other hand got nothing to lose and as such they will play as freely as possible so I would not write them off yet,I know this final will be better than the last one.

Madrid is the favorite team and quite naturally you are quite optimistic if Madrid can get a victory in the final match later because of their mentality so far, I hope you will not be disappointed later with the optimism you have now because indeed both teams certainly have the same chance to win, in the final match of course Dortmund comes as a non-seeded team,  Like Manchester United in the FA Cup and also Atlanta Europa League final this season, but both teams are actually able to overthrow favorite teams such as Manchester City and Leverkusen who are unbeaten this season, looking at the performance of both teams and also their motivation, of course it is very difficult for us to guess who the team will win in the final match later.

I personally prefer to see the final match between Madrid and Dortmund will end in a draw in normal time of the match, so indeed the determination of the winning team may occur in extra time 2x15 minutes, so that indeed a team that does have an unyielding spirit and of course is able to maintain their stamina will be able to win the Champions League this season be it Madrid or Dortmund.  

[Raflesia]

Indeed in this case we must consider all the possibilities that occur but indeed when talking about probabilities then everything will be the same where surely many people will agree that Madrid will win in the match even though it is possible for Dortmund to provide resistance and it is also possible to surprise to win but the chances are only small when compared to Madrid at this time.

The Champions League is different from the Europa League where sometimes the results in matches sometimes cannot be predicted well especially for the final because after all, the Champions League seems to be more predictable and in the last few finals it is also actually seen when who is the favorite then he is likely to win .
Even for now although we cannot underestimate Dortmund in the match, especially since this is a final, but still the one who has the probability and most likely champion is Madrid now .

I agree with you, I don't think we see any something different from what is suppose to be the result of the match. Real Madrid should be able to win Dortmund, and we have seen that in their preparation towards the finals. If you observed in their last two domestic games, it was a draw because the players are not taking those matches serious anymore.

So instead of them playing with seriousness, they are playing with ease, and their second choice players are the ones Ancelotti is using to start the match, and brings in his first choice close to the last quarter of the match to keep them fit and free from fatigue. So I know what Ancelotti can do and I am not sure he will lose this trophy to Dortmund.

Because for domestic competitions they don't need to waste energy on things that are not really necessary because after all, with the current conditions, we must already know that Madrid is very comfortable with the La Liga trophy and is at the top so they don't need to push too hard just for 3 points that don't really mean much even though it's very good if they can win but in the end the competition that has ended does not need to be forced anymore and they only have to focus on the goals they really want to achieve in the Champions League final.
They don't need to play that seriously but that doesn't mean they have to lose just playing to heat up and maintain the tension is very good.

Currently there is a condition where both clubs definitely want to become champions in this annual competition especially they want to present the best farewell gift for their players where Dortmund for Reus and Madrid for Kroos and Nacho who have decided to leave next season so surely they will be even more serious in wanting to bring the trophy.

The problem is in terms of strength at this time it is undeniable that Madrid is much better than Dortmund even though these two clubs still maximize young players as the main weapon but in terms of mentality and achievement Madrid is still the best in this case.

Finals are crazy. Whatever happens, it could be Manchester United beating City or Atalanta. There's no question that Dortmund has some powerful weapons. They have a good chance of pulling off an upset. Ignore that, though. Reasonably, Real Madrid is the favorite. They are on fire with experience and skill. Whichever way they play, that prize is theirs. But they shouldn't be careless around Dortmund. You need to be ready to fight and accept their attack. Whoever wants it more that day wins. And Real Madrid wants to win another title. Dortmund wants to make history. That last game is going to be exciting. Looking forward to seeing it!
