Real Madrid have an impressive track record when it comes to the Champions League, with Los Merengues finding their way past Bayern Munich at the semi-final stage. It appeared that Alphonso Davies’ goal was going to help the German side over the line and set up an all-Bundesliga clash at Wembley, although there was a late sting in the tail.
Joselu was an unlikely match winner for Real and the Spanish side are now warm betting favourites to overcome Borussia Dortmund in the final. They have navigated their way through a difficult half of the draw which has seen wins achieved against the likes of RB Leipzig, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
It’s hard to write off Real Madrid who consistently produce the high level of performance required in the Champions League. Jude Bellingham has enjoyed an excellent first campaign at the Bernabeu and will now clash against his former club for the chance to secure this silverware, although Dortmund will also believe they can win.
The German side have been outsiders to overcome both Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, although this is now a tall order in a one-off match. Dortmund have been well off the pace domestically considering that they have sixty points from thirty-two games played, although the return of Jadon Sancho means they have a new lease of life.
