So that's supposed to be the best football team in Europe,and therefore the world? Not one freekick scored in their entire season, and that's what you call the best football has to offer? They're such an uninteresting, ordinary, hyped up team, that other teams cower before
@Chancho Perhaps other teams cowering before them is exactly the aspect that makes them the best. It would be useful if people actually thought before they posted here, for a change.
This Madrid team is so lucky , again they get the trophy without being even in the top 10 teams in Europe . Referees and Luck help them every time . Plus they have the worst fans around , hate them as hell
@batman88 they certainly got help, but dont underestimate defense. i doubt even one of those "top 10 teams" apart from city could beat madrid more than madrid would beat them in a series of 10 matches lets say.
@batman88 Partially agree, the fans they attract certainly make them look worse. On the pitch, they're nothing extraordinary. Dortmund certainly looked poor on set pieces, both when they were taking their own corners and when defending them. Somehow, in pressure situations, a solid opposition player would make a stupid mistake and hand over the game to Madrid in finals. I wish Dortmund were more clinical in the first half and held the lead to 1-0 for the last 5 mins, they looked like a league 2 side for about 5-7 mins after conceding the first one.
Easy win as expected from madrid, the final winner was already decided in the city v madrid game. 15 title wins is truly amazing. Happy for kroos and carvajal who got goal contributions reflecting their strong performance this season. Vini showing he's a star on the biggest stages once again. Hala madrid !
I bet you guys enjoyed this game today - well, I did not. And you know why? Because I am a fan of quality football - I couldn't care less of which team wins: the team playing great football should win. Today I would not give the Cup to any of the teams because neither of them played great!
@neumi17
It's kinda in their DNA at this point. They had UCL wins with worse performances than this year tbh.
Hats of to Dortmund tho, they did better than expected. But you gotta take your chances in games like this.
I mean come on: Real Madrid should have destroyed this Dortmund team by 7-0 or 8-0. Leipzig really priced this Dortmund team when they disposed of them 4-0 with a proper game plan. And Real Madrid is even better than Leipzig!
@Zoltan that is the height of delusion if you expect a team to lose by that margin in a UCL final. If you can't withstand Madrid success, just quit football because we are just starting
Okay, so here is the summary of Carlo Ancelotti's anti-football today: he plays Real Madrid without a centre-forward (Joselu would be the obvious in-form option, but even with saving Ancelott's ass previously, he was not selected: enormous mistake). On the top of it, Ancelotti plays without a creative attacking midfielder: Tony Cross actually plays deep in the middle of his team's defense (so actually, Real Madrid plays a 5 men deffense with Tony Cross at the position of a central midfielder - this is way to deep for me for the position of the attacking midfielder - he plays more like a very deeply positioned defensive midfielder: what a waste for a player of the caliber of Kroos who can shoot from a distance). Instead, what we get is 2 terrible shots from a distance from Valverde and Vinicius, with Real Madrid with only 2 attempts and 0 on target. These 2 enormous mistakes brought up Dortmund psychologically that they are the better team, when in fact they are a very poor team.
@neumi17 Real Madrid is not strong. They rely mostly on luck. The only super strong team from this edition was Manchester City, so everything is possible here.
@hellreaper For real, such a shame Dortmund can't finish. Ought to be 2-0 by halftime. As a consequence, this game will probably fall for Real Madrid 1-0 or so with some sort of a fortunate scrappy goal.
Dortmund's trajectory demonstrated a solid and efficient defense to reach the big decision. Therefore, I believe they will try to dry out the game and decide on a set piece or a counter attack. But quoting Mike Tyson "everyone has a plan until they receive the first punch", which in this case would be for Real to score early through an opponent's error. So here we would have another type of game (goals).
pretty boring matchup, not that dortmund are bad or cant win but madrid are simply more complete. madrid are better in both attack and defense. just like with bayern, i think madrid will be allowed to attack more since their opposition is weaker (compared to how it was vs city) which can also expose some vulnerabilities (which i think was the case vs bayern). not sure whether this means dortmund will score, but i will predict that they do. dortmund have a chance if madrid are slightly sloppy as they were in the SF 2nd leg, otherwise they will get bamboozled. they wont be saved by the crossbar this time; theyre not going up against "dembele", but vini who'll abuse the wing as always, jude who's always good, kroos and valverde that can always score from distance... a lot of weapons. probably low score still, real seem pretty cautious these days. 1-2
@Icarax The coaching of Real Madrid sucks: they managed to look terrible during the first half with a superior team on paper. That's all Ancelotti's fault: look at my summary of the first half - not even a rookie coach would commit so many stupid mistakes like Ancelotti does in this final! I really think that this is a laughable coaching performance almost on par what Guardiola does normally with Manchester City! LOL
@Icarax Dortmund stinks compared to its days with Reuss, Sancho and Haaland in the attack! Now they even got rid of Reuss even before this final, which I think is ridiculous: Reuss even now is better than any other Dortmund player on the squad. Why didn't they wait until after the final with letting go Reuss??? Doesn't he deserve to be in the final 1. after all these years at Dortmund 2. being the best player still on the squad ???

Topnotch performance by Real Madrid, the greatest club of all time. In a UCL final, you don't need to rush. Inter 2010 and Liverpool 2019 come to mind
This Madrid team is so lucky , again they get the trophy without being even in the top 10 teams in Europe . Referees and Luck help them every time . Plus they have the worst fans around , hate them as hell
@batman88 You're the dumbest person in the world.

@batman88 for educational purpose, i want to see the list of 10 teams that are better than Madrid. Please, educate everyone
@CragHack Man City, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Liverpool, PSG, Inter, Galatasaray, Fenerbache, PSV, Crevna Zvezda
@duckmaster Not funny.
Hey Kroos , One more year please
Easy win as expected from madrid, the final winner was already decided in the city v madrid game. 15 title wins is truly amazing.

@Zoltan the cup doesn't belong to you. Form your own tournament and give the cup to who you want
Madrid don't look strong or play well but in the end they don't concede goals and always score. And that is a mega strength ...

@Zoltan 7-0 after what Real showed in the first half ? 2-0 should have been the correct score at halftime.
Real Madrid Champions -)
@Marbella LOL Give me a break! You should get rid of Ancelotti as possible! If Dortmund is a bit lucky, you guys would be the sorry losers!
@Zoltan 100% agreed.
Taking off Adeyemi kinda solved Madrid's problems, IDK what Terzic was thinking there.
@DanInter He wasn't. We are talking about a guy who was an assistant coach up until 2 years ago.
Okay, so here is the summary of Carlo Ancelotti's anti-football today: he plays Real Madrid without a centre-forward (Joselu would be the obvious in-form option, but even with saving Ancelott's ass previously, he was not selected: enormous mistake).

courtois goes crazy in a champions league final once again))
Jr+150 / Rodrygo +210 / Judey With The Booty Bellingham +175 To Score Anytime
Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.
@Marbella Did you bet over 2.5 again? Or Real Madrid win??? LOL
1-3 or 1-4 (maybe more goals) real .m 100% win
Madrid EZ W
1-2 to Real Madrid.
Dortmund 1-0 :)
@kreizi Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Dortmund no chance in my opinion

Dortmund 3-1 Madrid :)
@Genie908 LOL
1-1 and Dortmund maybe might win this final
I think the Real Madrid midfield will control the game especially Bellingham.Dortmund will play defensive and try to grab a goal from a set piece.
0-2 Curtois in goal.
@koziol.mutant ea$y
Madrid to win this one. 3 - 1 in favour of Madrid
Nice to see Jude Bellingham has been voted La Liga's Player of the Season in his first year in Spain.
draw 90min
Real Madrid Win @ 1.68 Odds.
@Marbella Now 1.74 Odds
@Marbella HalaMADRID
Do people realize how ridiculous Borussia presence is in this final? Bet your house on Real in this match, money is laying on the ground
@Zootball Indeed. It's all UEFA's fault for rigging a "favourites" path and an "underdogs" path to the final.
@Zootball not ridiculous at all or else they wouldn't have made it this far
@Zootball That is way borussia will win this one
@prozac666 Good joke, mate.
I think draw
