Real Madrid advanced to their second Champions League final in three years; all thanks to the remarkable comeback home win against Bayern Munich. Now June 1st will see Carlo Ancelotti’s squad take on Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium.
With the Germans on the defensive, the Whites will pursue the 15th Champions League trophy in their history. Neither Real Madrid nor Borussia Dortmund have ever faced off in a European Cup final before.
Dortmund will make their third appearance in the final, aiming to win the trophy for the second time ever. In preparation for the encounter, Edin Terzic’s squad topped Group F and advanced past PSV, Atletico Madrid, and PSG.

In addition to playing on his home soil in England, Jude Bellingham will face off against his previous team in this encounter. If everything goes according to plan, his first season in Madrid will conclude with a bang. Intriguingly, Los Blancos would have to fork up some cash if he could guide them to their 15th championship in the tournament.

Winners get $21.5 million from UEFA, which is money that a team like Dortmund would gladly accept. However, it has come to light that the team stands to gain even more money should they lose the tournament final versus Real Madrid.
According to German reports, Dortmund might still come out ahead financially even if they don’t win the match at Wembley. This puts them in a win-win…
