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

Anyone know how to watch it for free? Does Discovery+ offer it without me needing to upgrade my pass to a paid one? Travelling in Albania at the moment. Thank you!
It will be probably on some local cable. Balkan TV cables are always full of football or any sport.
Albania: Tring, RTSH

Edit, added names of TV stations
 
Regarding Sancho, I am listening to a podcast where it is remarked how his stats are incredibly better in CL than Bundesliga.

For instance, he recovered the ball 9 times vs PSG, 14 times vs Atletico de Madrid and 13 times vs PSG (in both legs). Vs PSG 10 of those ball recoveries happened in the attacking half, which is outstanding.

Those stats contrast with his ball recoveries vs Bayer Leverkusen (0 ball recoveries) or Union Berlin (0 ball recoveries).

What does this tell us? Well, it says that there is a very different Leverkusen in CL as compared to Bundesliga. Why? Mostly because the motivation of the players.

Real Madrid would be wrong to underestimate the predisposition with which these players take the field on a European night.
 
Courtois in goal. Lunin is sick but tbh I would’ve picked Tibo even if Lunin wasn’t ill. Not expecting any surprises in our line-up otherwise.

Tibo
Carvajal-Rudiger-Nacho-Mendy
Valverde-Camavinga-Kroos
Jude
Rodrygo-Vini

Hoping for a Vini, Jude and Kroos masterclass.
 
Real winning the CL is like it raining, you know it'll happen, and I just don't mind, it's part of life. I'd be very happy to see England's young lion superstar little Jude lifting the trophy tonight.

I expect it'll still manage to be a better final than last years.

It’s on free TV in Germany (on ZDF) which might work if you use a VPN.
 
Will this be shown on YouTube? I know BT Sport used to do this with the CL and Europa league finals but noticed since it’s changed to TNT they didn’t show this years Europa and Conference League finals, I’m wondering if the CL will be the same. Would be a shit house move from them if it isn’t.
 
Yes, it's a local company but Jesus wept in this political climate being sponsored by one of the world's biggest defence companies seems incredibly short sighted.
Quite the contrary... the current political climate means that Rheinmetall for the first time in ages isn't seen as a pariah but as an important part to defend the free world. The attention shifted away from their questionable business and towards their support for Ukraine and what they can offer for the necessary rearmament of the Bundeswehr.

Obviously it still is highly controversial, but nonetheless the opportunity was never better than now to do such a deal.

So you'd be fine with Madrid beating Manchester United in the final?

What's the matter? Don't have a response?

It's not on youtube, but if you register on discovery+'s website you can watch it for free.
 
I think it's mental they don't make it a law that it's on BBC or ITV, even if it's just the final it would be a bloody improvement on the joke it is now.
I think it's a ploy to sell people's data. BT took liberties with free to air but at least youtube is quite easily accessible and you didn't need to make an account.

I start to sympathise with the super league when companies start doing this shit.
 
Interesting to see how Real Madrid play this. Dortmund defensively have been impressive . Longer the game goes on I fancy Madrid. Dortmund best chance is scoring early and frustrating madrid. But tough ask to stop Bellingham and Vini Jnr for 90 minutes. Carlo also always makes a big substitution when game is getting away from him. Dortmund are going to need the night of their lives to win this

expecting another Vinicius one man show and Bellingham no show, followed by the game being christened "the Jude Bellingham final"
 
I this they both score tonight. 3-1 Madrid, perhaps Sancho to get the BVB goal just to piss me off

I don't know. The year Dortmund knocked us out in the semis, nobody expected them to get a look-in against Juve in the final, but they won 3-1. But this is Madrid.
 
So last European final Real Madrid lost was all the way back in in 1983 to Fergie's Aberdeen. More than 40 years ago.

Is there room for another surprise after Atalanta beating Leverkusen 3-0, us beating City and even Olympiacos beating Fiorentina? I'll go for 1-0 Dortmund with Real missing few big chances and a penalty. Perhaps it won't be their day.
 
I'm going to pop into central London to see what the Dortmund fans are saying.

This is what I'm feeling too. Dortmund will come out with a perfect plan, run their lungs out and Madrid won't have their day. Boring game overall with a torrid last 10 minutes.
 
Well if they score first we're set :angel:

This is also generally true. Statistically we're an average good side at even score, terryfing when behind, and basically Brazil '70 when leading :)

BT used to make it free on YouTube.

Unlike previous years, TNT Sports has confirmed that the Champions League final 2024 will not be shown on YouTube in the UK.

Instead, fans can watch the Champions League final for free on discovery+. All you need to do is register a free account on discovery+ without signing up for a package and you’ll be able to tune in to the game.

Or

It's on RTE2 in Ireland. RTE player + a vpn if you have one and you should be able to get it.
 
Real Madrid 3 Dortmund 0

⚽️ Bellingham, Vini x2

I knew the winner was going to be either City or Madrid when they clashed. Dortmund have 0% chances.
 
Expect a Real win, but the football gods may decide that enough is enough, as they did last weekend at Wembley.
 
Wonder what has Wembley got in store for us after last Saturday..... Anyway can watch a final final with no stress.

Let us hope for a Madrid win so Sancho can come back with his tail between his legs. The streets footballer my arrrse.
