Dortmund-Real Madrid: Wembley defines the new 'king' of Europe

There are few sportive events that detain the world of the way that does it a final of Champions League. And, in Wembley, will not be the exception. The house of the English football receives to the Borussia Dortmund and to the Real Madrid for the most important party of the football to level of clubs. The party that all the players dream with winning and in an ideal stage that already has seen to top to several 'big' as AC Milan, Manchester United, Ajax, Liverpool and FC Barcelona, in addition to the same Barcelona group and Bayern of Munich in the current stadium.

Wembley Is a 'heritage' of the current European football and so much for the Dortmund as for the Madrid supposes a party more than special. The ones of din Terzić live his first final from 2013, when they fell, precisely, in London against the Bayern. In this occasion, Mario Mandžukić opened the marker, equalised it eight minutes afterwards Ílkay Gündogan and, to fault of unminuto for the end of the statutory time, Arjen Robben decanted the victory for the muniqueses. It was the last final between German teams and the most bitter memory for a Dortmund that had left on the way to teams like the Real Madrid, Málaga and Shakhtar Donetsk.

For the White House, on the other hand, will be his first final in Wembley; a data 'curious' taking in account the importance that has the sportive enclosure and the quantity of finals that has contested the Spanish group. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti won for the last time the 'Orejona' in 2022, in Paris, and want to close with brooch of gold a season in which only they have lost two parties, both against the Athletic of Madrid (League and Glass of Rey).

A final that will define by details

It is a final in which all will be at stake, because it measures the team 'surprise' of the Champions, that deleted to PSV, Athletic of Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. They want to retar to a Madrid that arrives like clear favourite and that also left to two 'giant' on the way, as they were it Manchester City and Bayern of Munich, in addition to the RB Leipzig. This Saturday, from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CEST), both groups will look for the glory in an ideal stage.

The two teams arrive of way very, very distinct. The Dortmund, in spite of what supposes to put in a final of Champions, did not have luck in the domestic tournaments and finish the Bundesliga in the fifth position by behind Leverkusen, Sttugart, Bayern and RB Leipzig, whereas in the DFB Pokal fell defeated in eighth of final. The Real Madrid, as we mentioned before, signed a practically perfect year with LaLiga and Supercopa of Spain, looking for the last crown.

In spite of the difference that there is, in paper, everything seems to indicate to that it will be a party that will define by details and in which the errors will weigh the double. So much Edin Terzić like Carlo Ancelotti are not in conditions to confirm and will have to pose the most effective version of his groups to try carry the title home. Already the Dortmund suffered against the PSG, in spite of having fit only a goal, and the Madrid traced back to the Bayern to last hour with a doublet of Joselu. The 'relajos' neither trust more than the account will be in the equation.

A point that will be key, for the Teutonics, is the aprovechamemiento of the spaces in front of a Madrid that it is ultraofensivo and that never fears to the hour to launch to the attack. If the Dortmund is able to carry to the party to his rhythm, can generate a lot of problems to the 'merengues'. This yes, have in in front of a team to the that him 'leftover' talent and that in one or two passes can mark the difference. The paper that can have, especially, Vinicius Jr or Jude Bellingham can be the big key.

The possible alignments of the Borussia Dortmund-Real Madrid of the final of Champions League 2023/2024

With resecto to the alignments, do not expect surprise by part of any of the two teams. Edin Terzić Will bet by Kobel in the goal, accompanied by a defence conformed by Hummels, Schlotterbeck and Maatsen. In the medullary, the protagonists aim to be Can, Sabitzer, with Adeyemi, Brandt and Sancho more advanced and Füllkrug in the tip of the attack.

By his part, Ancelotti has dissipated in the last hours the only doubt that there was regarding his XI: Courtois will be in the goal, with Carvajal, Nacho, Rüdiger and Mendy in the defensive saga, Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga and Bellingham in the centre of the field and with two forwards: Rodrygo Goes and Vinícius Júnior.

What have said Edin Terzić and Carlo Ancelotti before the final of the Champions League?

The trainer 'borusser' has left clear in the previous that it is conscious that they do not split like favourites, but that in a party of ninety minutes anything can happen and they have all the intention to litigate to the end: "it Is almost surrealist. I think that, in general, we deserved to arrive to the final. I know that we will not be favourite and that it will be extremely difficult. But it is only a party and, along a meeting, everything is possible. Already we have showed it".

Ancelotti, that has won four Champions League like trainer, two of them with the Real Madrid, has left clear that the fear always is there: "A final of Champions is the most important party and the most dangerous. It is necessary to enjoy to the maximum be here. And it begins the worry that it can go out badly. The most important is to win the Champions, but afterwards goes out the fear to lose it. Arrive to a final is very difficult, dificilísimo. Have so near the success that have fear. Will have emotions, worry, fear... But the fear is an important part to do well the things. The team has showed this season two very important things: the quality and the sacrifice".
