Real Madrid defeat Borussia Dortmund by 2 goals in the Champions League final 2024 to claim their historic 15th European Crown

[Cricket Warrior]

The kings of the UEFA Champions League will go after their 15th title in the competition at Wembley Stadium in London on June 1.

Real Madrid advanced to the 2023-24 UCL final with a remarkable comeback against Bayern Munich on Wednesday to deny an all-German championship match.

Borussia Dortmund, a surprise finalist, will try to complete its European run with the second UCL title in club history.

The June 1 final will mark the first time Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund square off in the Champions League title match. It will be just the third time a Spanish and German side play each other in the tournament's final.

What's your take folks? Who do you think will have the advantage in this mega clash?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Real will win, might not play particularly well but it doesn't seem to matter

They are just absurd when it comes to the Champions League and Dortmund aren't strong enough or good enough to do something about it

Though I'd love to see Reus win the CL

 

[Kianig89]

Has to be Real Madrid, Dortmund are no match hopefully the change in format from next season will change the monotony

 

[BouncerGuy]

Real Madrid is going to win IMObut we can not rule out Dortmund. They are equally dangerous.

There is a lot of talk about Mbappe's struggles, but the one who has to face challenges is Achraf Hakimi. He previously played for Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

A poor first half from Real Madrid as Dortmund missed Key opportunities.

Adeyemi might just end up regretting those missed chances his entire life.

Dortmund should have been 2-0 up by now. Real Madrid are inevitably going to clutch this in the second half.

Real Madrid rode their luck and overcame an outstanding challenge from Borussia Dortmund to win the Champions League at Wembley

Carlo Ancelotti wrote more history with his fifth win as coach in the competition, while Real claimed the crown for the 15th time in trademark fashion as they survived a torrid first half and several missed opportunities from Dortmund before coming out on top.

Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi missed two first-half chances and striker Niclas Fullkrug hit the post, with recalled Real keeper Thibaut Courtois also providing a formidable barrier.

Real, inevitably, raised the stakes, with Dani Carvajal glancing home a header from a corner 16 minutes from time before Vinicius Jr raced clear on to Jude Bellingham's pass to add a second nine minutes later.

It crowned a glorious first season at Real for England's Bellingham, but it was a night of disappointment for compatriot Jadon Sancho, on loan to Dortmund from Manchester United.

Ruthless Real Madrid masters again

Real Madrid's late surge to claim another victory in Europe's elite tournament carried an air of inevitability as they proved they are a ruthless winning machine when it comes to the Champions League.

As they have done previously in the competition this season, and in seasons before, Real stumbled along in the first half as they were pinned back by the intensity of Borussia Dortmund’s approach.

Real barely put together an attack worthy of the name while hanging on by the skin of their teeth at the other end, with Dortmund creating chances but crucially wasting them.

When that happens, as Liverpool and others have found before them in Champions League finals, there is normally only one outcome.

And so it proved as Real, with keeper Courtois fully justifying Ancelotti's decision to pick him ahead of Andriy Lunin, picked up a head of steam to strike those two late blows to the heart of brave Borussia.

Many will wonder quite how Real Madrid do it when they seem out of sorts so often. But muscle memory kicks in with these great players, as the departing Toni Kroos, Carvajal, Nacho and late substitute Luka Modric claimed Champions League winners' medals for the sixth time.
