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

Eh. Still wasn’t the right profile of midfielder we need.

Though if the choice was Mount or Sabitzer on a cut price… hindsight 20-20 and all that.
Mind you, we once had Lobotka for pennies and our manager decided to send him back to Trencin.
 
Dortmund has one foul and 2 yellow cards:lol: abysmal refereeing.

Real Madrid needs Modric. They're lucky no one from Dortmund seems able to score (maybe Fullkrug? Hummels in a corner?).
 
We could have had Sabitzer probably on a 15m fee and lesser wages than Mount, and a more versatile footballer. I like Mount, but it was bonehead decision by ETH to have the board spend 60m for him.
 
Mind you, we once had Lobotka for pennies and our manager decided to send him back to Trencin.
Definitely not convinced on Hag’s talent ID in central midfielders.
 
Dortmund is killing madrid here, they'll rue their chances I'd they don't win this.
 
Dortmund the better team in the first half, they are doing really well to open up space. Only issue was not taking the chances they had.

Real are still gonna win 100 %.
 
Bellingham looks like he has won a competition to be out there.
 
Madrid's front 4 have been terrible. Camavinga and Kroos have been alright and played a few cut-through passes but the front 3 (4 if you count Valverde) haven't done anything.
 
BVB have fecked it. Unlike us last week, they did not take their chances. Madrid will not be that poor in the second half.
 
Fede Valverde was great for Madrid and Dortmund played a great fist half. A 1 nil would have been more than "fair"
 
Terrible security. Terrible, nervous ref. Terrible Real. Average Dortmund. Europa League remains the pinnacle of club football.
 
Bellingham doesn't look like a footballer
 
Real win this. Bellingham a non-entity so far. Probably scores the winner. I'd prefer it to be Modric, Kroos, or Nacho.
 
Want Marco Reus to to come on and score the winner.
 
That's why footballers who can consistently score are very expensive.

Dortmund should be 2-0, but...
