Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid – UCL 2024 Final

Wembley Stadium is set for a thrilling Champions League final on Saturday evening, as underdogs Borussia Dortmund take on the seasoned Real Madrid.

Dortmund seeks their second Champions League title after a 27-year wait, having defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals. Real Madrid, aiming for their 15th title, made a dramatic comeback against Bayern Munich to reach the final.

Real Madrid will miss David Alaba (ACL injury) and Aurelien Tchouameni (foot injury), with Nacho Fernandez expected to captain the side in his final game. Toni Kroos, playing his last match for Real, will line up with Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde in midfield. Andriy Lunin’s flu makes Thibaut Courtois the clear starter in goal.

With Marco Reus likely on the bench, Emre Can will captain the team. Fans can expect a high-stakes, exciting showdown as these two European giants vie for continental supremacy.
