Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid will compete for the title at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Real Madrid enters the match as the favorites to claim a record 15th European title in London, having completed an undefeated season in Champions League play. Their potent attack has been a highlight of the campaign, with Jude Bellingham emerging as a standout performer, contributing three goals and four assists. Additionally, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Joselu have each scored five goals.
Dortmund, on the other hand, should not be underestimated after their Cinderella run to the final. Seeking redemption for their loss to Bayern Munich at Wembley 11 years ago, they have overcome significant challenges along the way. Topping a group that included Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Newcastle United, they later eliminated PSG in the semifinals. Dortmund boasts a solid defensive record, with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel leading the Champions League with six clean sheets. They also possess attacking firepower, with Marcel Sabitzer leading the assist charts with five.
