UCL Final Betting Tips: Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid
On Saturday, June 1, Wembley Stadium will be the stage for one of the most anticipated football matches of the year: Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final. Real Madrid, already the record winners of this competition, are on a quest to etch their name even deeper in European football history. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund seek their second Champions League trophy.
Los Blancos have lifted Europe’s top continental trophy 14 times, an astounding seven more than any other team in history. With manager Carlo Ancelotti leading the charge, Los Blancos possess an almost mythical aura in this competition – Ancelotti himself has secured an astonishing six wins out of his seven Champions League final appearances as a player and manager.
This season’s Champions League journey has been historic, even for Real Madrid. They defeated German giants Bayern Munich in the semifinals and arrive in Wembley on an unbeaten run of 12 games in the UCL (8-4-0) and 25 games across all competitions (16-9-0). Remarkably, Real Madrid have reached the UCL final with an unbeaten record for the just first time in their history. Los Blancos also clinched their 33rd La Liga title this season, underlining their dominance both domestically and in Europe.
Real’s historic run in the competition this season has been underpinned by a formidable array of attacking weapons, with four players recording four or more goals in this campaign.
Spanish striker Joselu and Brazilian forwards Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior each share fifth place on the scorers’ chart with five goals. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham, who spent his formative years at Dortmund before joining Real Madrid this season, has also found the net four times. The 23-year-old Vinicius Junior deserves particular recognition, not only for his goals but also as a creative force, leading the assist charts with five in the UCL.
Borussia Dortmund: More than Underdogs
Borussia Dortmund claimed their sole Champions League crown in the 1996-97 season, defeating Juventus 3-1 in the final. This marks their third appearance in the final, with their most recent attempt ending in defeat against arch-rivals Bayern Munich at the very same Wembley in 2013.
Despite their underdog status, Edin Terzic’s giant-killing side shouldn’t be underestimated.
Their path to the final saw them top a very difficult group. They also defeated Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the knockouts to reach this stage. The 1997 winners have overcome daunting challenges throughout this competition, and their performances this season have demonstrated that they are far from dark horses in this final.
