2024 UEFA Champions League final — Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid — Wembley, Sat 1 June 20:00 BST

Dortmund is playing beautiful counter-attacking football. They going to regret missing that chance, what an amazing through ball. They won't get a better chance than that. Once Real scores, it's game over.
 
Watching these teams, we aren't a million miles away from them.

The midfield play is something we haven't had for years.

Sabitzer. Gets the ball at force, surrounded by three white shirts, finds the perfect weighted ball over the top for Sancho to set Dortmund up for a break.

Camavinga. Bossing it in midfield. Knows how to receive the ball, how to keep beating the 2-3 people press over and over with quick, crisp passes - making the run to find space for a one-two the moment he's passed it out. Good use of space and body movement, spot-on technique.

Kroos. Finding these cross-field balls, well-weighted for Carvajal's run on the right, moving into deep spaces whenever Camavinga or the defence need a quick outlet for a pass to keep moving the ball.

The best we have is Mainoo - we need an elite midfield, well-coached in their roles, to compete at the top.
 
Madrid have some voodoo stuff going on in the CL.
 
those two chances after such great plays might bite back
 
Madrid never looked this vulnerable in all their recent cl victories.
 
Madrid are lucky bastards, something happened in the final against Liverpool
 
Only happens to Real Madrid.
 
Holy crap, how has Dortmund not scored yet. :lol:

Anyway, Dortmund starting this strong only makes me more convinced that Real are gonna win this.
 
Oh wow. Golden opportunities for Dortmund here, and neither of them taken. You feel this may come back to bite them.
 
Why didn't Adeyemi just lob over the keeper?
 
It’s written in the stars for Dortmund to win. Oxford won, Southampton won, we won, olympiakos won, Atalanta won. All who was very much outsiders.
