For many Dortmund fans, the idea of their team playing in a Champions League final might still seem surreal. However, given their impressive and focused performances in the previous rounds, Borussia Dortmund certainly deserves to be in the highlight match on Saturday evening in London. They have successively eliminated the unbeaten PSV from Eindhoven, the determined Atletico Madrid, and the star-studded Paris Saint-Germain. This journey proves they do not need to hide from Real Madrid, the most successful football club of all time, in the title match. To pull off a surprise in their third Champions League final, Dortmund will need a near-perfect performance, solid defensive play, and a bit of luck. So far, Coach Edin Terzic has successfully relied on these elements in the competition. In twelve Champions League matches Dortmund has only conceded nine goals, with goalkeepers Gregor Kobel and his deputy Alex Mayer keeping clean sheets six times. Remarkably, Borussia was saved by the post or crossbar twelve times, including six times in the two 1-0 semi-final victories against PSG. It’s expected that Dortmund will take a cautious approach, defending deeply and hoping to exploit counterattacks and set pieces. Dortmund's success will hinge on finding the right balance between compact defence and offensive relief. This could be challenging against Real Madrid's strong wingers, forcing Dortmund's wingers to defend deep and making the transition game long and difficult. Dortmund, who have lost just two of their twelve international matches this season, have a nearly full squad available, with only Bensebaini and Duranville out. The starting eleven is expected to feature the regular back four, with Julian Brandt alongside Can and Sabitzer in midfield, and Sancho, Adeyemi, and Fullkrug in attack.On the other hand, Real Madrid's record in finals speaks volumes. Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has vast experience at this level and has already won the Champions League four times. His calm and composed approach is a stark contrast to Terzic's youthful enthusiasm. Ancelotti's experience might give Real Madrid the edge in preparing for the final. Despite their pedigree, Real Madrid has had its struggles. They have drawn four of their six knockout matches in this year's Champions League, including tough encounters against Manchester City and RB Leipzig, and they required a fortunate turn of events to advance past Bayern in the semi-finals. Nevertheless, Real Madrid could become Champions League winners without a single defeat for the first time, having only trailed for 90 minutes throughout the entire competition and boasting the second-best offense with 26 goals. Vinicius Jr. stands out as a key player for Real Madrid, having been involved in 31 goals in his last three Champions League seasons, more than any other player. This season, he has scored five goals and provided four assists, making him a significant threat. I believe Real Madrid will win with a narrow win. The stakes are high so I believe one goal in Kobel's net will decide a winner.

Real Madrid's possible lineup:

Thibaut Courtois

-Daniel Carvajal,Eder Militao,Antonio Ruediger,Ferland Mendy

-Federico Valverde,Eduardo Camavinga,Toni Kroos,Jude Bellingham

-Rodrygo,Vinicius Junior

Dortmund's possible lineup:

Gregor Kobel

-Julian Ryerson,Mats Hummels,Nico Schlotterbeck,Ian Maatsen

-Marcel Sabitzer,Emre Can,Jadon Sancho,Julian Brandt,Karim Adeyemi

-Niclas Fullkrug

对于许多多特蒙德球迷来说，他们的球队进入欧冠决赛的想法似乎仍然是超现实的。然而，鉴于多特蒙德在前几轮比赛中令人印象深刻和专注的表现，他们当然应该参加周六晚上在伦敦举行的最精彩的比赛。他们先后淘汰了来自埃因霍温的不败的埃因霍温，意志坚定的马德里竞技，以及星光熠熠的巴黎圣日耳曼。这段旅程证明他们不需要在冠军争夺战中躲避皇家马德里，这是有史以来最成功的足球俱乐部。要在他们的第三次欧冠决赛中取得惊喜，多特蒙德将需要近乎完美的表现、稳固的防守和一点运气。到目前为止，教练Edin Terzic已经成功地在比赛中运用了这些元素。在12场欧冠比赛中，多特蒙德只丢了9个球，其中门将格雷戈尔·科贝尔和他的副手亚历克斯·梅尔6次保持零封。值得一提的是，博卢西亚有12次被门柱或横梁扑救，其中6次是在半决赛1-0战胜巴黎圣日耳曼的比赛中。预计多特蒙德将采取谨慎的方式，深入防守，希望利用反击和定位球。多特蒙德的成功将取决于在紧凑的防守和进攻之间找到正确的平衡。这对皇马强大的边锋来说可能是一个挑战，迫使多特蒙德的边锋防守深入，使转换比赛变得漫长而困难。多特蒙德本赛季在12场国际比赛中只输了2场，他们的阵容几乎满了，只有本塞拜尼和杜兰维尔缺阵。首发11人将以常规的四后卫为主，朱利安·勃兰特、詹和萨比策在中场，桑乔、阿德耶米和富勒克鲁格在进攻端。另一方面，皇马在决赛中的战绩说明了一切。皇马主帅安切洛蒂在欧冠联赛中有着丰富的经验，他已经四次赢得欧冠冠军。他的冷静和沉稳与泰尔齐奇的年轻热情形成了鲜明的对比。安切洛蒂的经验可能会给皇马在准备决赛中带来优势。尽管他们的血统，皇马也有过挣扎。他们在今年欧冠的6场淘汰赛中取得了4场平局，其中包括与曼城和莱比锡的艰难交锋，他们需要幸运的转机才能在半决赛中击败拜仁。尽管如此，皇马有可能在欧冠联赛中首次以一球未负的成绩夺冠。在整个欧冠比赛中，皇马只落后了90分钟，并以26球的进攻排名第二。小维尼修斯是皇马的关键球员，在过去的三个欧冠赛季中，他打进了31个进球，比其他任何球员都多。本赛季，他打进了5球，并提供了4次助攻，使他成为一个重要的威胁。我相信皇马会以微弱优势取胜。赌注很高，所以我相信科贝尔的一个进球将决定胜负。

皇马可能的阵容:

鲍特科特伊斯

——丹尼尔·卡瓦哈尔、埃德尔·米利奥、安东尼奥·吕迪格、弗兰德·门迪

——费德里科·瓦尔韦德、爱德华多·卡马文加、托尼·克罗斯、裘德·贝灵汉

-Rodrygo,维尼初级

多特蒙德可能的阵容:

格雷戈尔Kobel

——朱利安·瑞尔森、马茨·胡梅尔斯、尼科·施洛特贝克、伊恩·马森

——marcel Sabitzer,Emre Can,Jadon Sancho,Julian Brandt,Karim Adeyemi
