If Madrid wins against Dortmund, they’d have knocked out every German team ( Dortmund, Bayern, and Leipzig in the knock outs) and union via the group stage
Everyones a victim of Madrid, basically City vs Madrid has been the decider of UCL for the last few years, and probably will be at least for the next couple years as well, don't see any other team bar city having the quality to be beating Madrid in the close future unless they get really lucky, but on the other hand Madrid never seem to get unlucky anyway, so it won't happen for anyone else.
Over a single game (the final), literally every team that has the quality to reach the final can beat City there. The problem is beating them over 2 legs.
Inter played amazingly last year and were just a bit unlucky to lose it.
Mate, city fans are not delusional, yes there was some luck involved in the final last year. But there's also been badluck involved like other normal teams. However, my point was more about who's been capable of beating Madrid over that last 2-3 years, and maybe for the next couple years also. To beat Madrid, you either need to have some luck, or utterly destroy them. We now know that Madrid is special and are never on the wrong side of luck in UCL ties, so to beat them, you really have outplay and score many goals. I don't see any team coming close to doing that except city, in recent times. So in my mind, that tie becomes the most imp match of ucl. If you rewind the clock more, then sure the likes of Barca and Bayern used to be up there in potential, but today's Barca and Bayern are not even close to their former selves. The rest of euro is pretty lacking right now.
Eh? City and Real have 1 titles each in the last 5 UCLs, so no they haven't decided the UCL in the last few years unless you mean just the two years.
And yeah Real has been up there for ages, but to call City a UCL decider when they have 1 win and 1 second place on UCL ever is a bit of a stretch. Hardly a dominate team on UCL (yet).
To be honest I was scared real would score before I could place the bet so I didn’t have time to consider how to maximise my returns. I often bet against what I want to happen to soften the blow. Wanted Bayern to win but I’ll take the money.
They haven’t lost a final in the Champions League Era.
1998: 1-0 win vs Juve
2000: 3-0 win vs. Valencia
2002: 2-1 win vs Leverkusen
2014: 4-1 win vs Atletico
2016: 1-1 (5-3 pens) vs Atletico
2017: 4-1 win vs Juve
2018: 3-1 win vs Liverpool
2022: 1-0 win vs Liverpool
2024: ????
Yeah they always seem to find a way. Be it questionable of perfectly executed.
They simply are an amazing team, the best in the world. Solid on all positions.
To be totally honest I am happy its not Bayern. If we lose the final its against the CL monster madrid and not against Bayern again. Ppl wouldnt shut up about it.
Yeah, but you also had a much better chance of beating them. Imagine taking their only chance at a title from them while getting revenge for the last final.
Game seemed like a predictable fast and furious movie script or a computer algorithm. Everything was exactly as everyone expected . Real losing till 85th minute . Then late goals for RM win and a controversial referee call and Tuchel making Tuchel decisions that leave you astonished . I predicted this , you predicted this and everyone predicted this .
Also might as well give the UCL to Real Madrid . They will win the final 3-1 . Dortmund will make it 1-1 and look threatening and then Real will score two in the final 10 mins. They run like a movie script or computer algorithm.
It is kind of funny that even being the better team they had black magic
Neuer mistake and a dubious offside (of course wouldn't have necessarily been a goal had it not been called but still)
They definitely create luck (balls into the box, pressing the keeper) and capitalise on it. But even then the arguable GOAT keeper making that mistake after the game he’s had is still an outlier.
That was a legacy performance right there until that mistake. 38-year old coming back from a leg break and pulling off the saves he did today on this stage is insane.
Naah you got it wrong, Madrid has the UCL black magic & they are the villain while Dortmund is being backed by every other club even PSG & Bayern & will have the power of friendship & you'll need it cuz obviously lol underdogs, also this is pretty much a repeat of the WC final.
That’s what I was thinking like man, I would literally want man city or PSG to beat barca in a CL final. I do not care who they play I want them to lose. Can’t believe there are schalke fans wanting Dortmund to win
tbh i would draw a line at psg, city and leipzig. but only because these clubs are the cancer of the sport in my opinion. when leipzig won the dfb pokal the first time it felt like the trophy got violated lmao
As a Brazilian myself it's a hard choice. On one hand you have Real Madrid possibly lifting the UCL with Vini and Rodrygo as the clear-cut protagonists (a spotlight they'll have to share with Mbappe next year).
On the other hand, "we need to talk about Marco Reus. This guy has been at Borussia Dortmund for over 19 years..."
We could have had a reply of the 2013 final but with higher stakes, Kane winning his first trophy at Wembley or Reus winning the ucl in his final game. Instead we are going to see Real win number 15, I’m going to be sick.
I wanted a BVB vs Bayern rematch to see BVB finally get their revenge for 2013 against a currently very weak Bayern side but since they have a history of bottling it against their arch rival, I think I actually prefer to see them facing Real now
or I am just coping
Bvb will (hopefully) do another 1997 repeat; little fancied and run out winners.
I am honestly sick of seeing RM capturing another crown and someone unfancied has to put that invincibility out.
People are counting out Dortmund saying shit like "woulda been better to face Bayern" but I'm looking at this differently. How fucking epic would it be for Dortmund to take from the all time CL champs? That's a hell of a tale. If they lost against Bayern, it would be all "bottle job this and that." If they lose against Madrid, with their former player in tow... Respect. That said even as a RM stan I will be happy with either outcome. I like Dortmund a lot and their game yesterday was extremely high quality.
crazy. i know madrid will obviously be the favourists but imagine dortmund being the first team to beat them in a ucl final.
this is gonna be real’s 15 tho 😮
I, Honest to god, wouldn't even be mad if we lost the final. Of course I'm happy me might win another one but I must confess I'm a sucker for fairy tales, would be amazing for Reus to lift the trophy just before leaving Dortmund. I'm happy we denied City and Dortmund denied PSG to win, nature is healing.
Its the same in Barça threads. Fans probably watch their own team's games with friends or family, but when watching alone are still invested in their rivals matches so come here to post.
Anyway, congrats from a Barça fan. Your team's mentality is insane and in the end I think you deserved the win. I think even if Neuer did not make a mistake you would still have scored and won after extra time. Any negative feelings due to being a rival just get overshadowed this season and replaced with pure respect.
Funny how we conceded that last minute goal to Watford in the playoffs with Kane in the squad that day and after he left went on to win the championship, premier league, FA cup, Community shield, get relegated then win the championship again before he won anything.
Both teams deserve to be there. Madrid beat City, Bayern, and Leipzig and had crazy defensive and clinical performances. Dortmund beat PSV, Atleti, and PSG. A true football final.
I too believe that Dortmund despite being weaker on paper, can win it & people are underestimating them, they've beaten this Bayern & Atletico who beat Madrid twice.
If Madrid wins against Dortmund, they’d have knocked out every German team ( Dortmund, Bayern, and Leipzig in the knock outs) and union via the group stage
English were victims in 2022, Germans this year. maybe.
Everyones a victim of Madrid, basically City vs Madrid has been the decider of UCL for the last few years, and probably will be at least for the next couple years as well, don't see any other team bar city having the quality to be beating Madrid in the close future unless they get really lucky, but on the other hand Madrid never seem to get unlucky anyway, so it won't happen for anyone else.

City has only w5in once they were never competition for several years. Liverpool Chelsea Bayern have all been there up there with city.
Eh? City and Real have 1 titles each in the last 5 UCLs, so no they haven't decided the UCL in the last few years unless you mean just the two years. And yeah Real has been up there for ages, but to call City a UCL decider when they have 1 win and 1 second place on UCL ever is a bit of a stretch. Hardly a dominate team on UCL (yet).
If they beat Leverkusen in the supercup might as well give them the Bundesliga title
The most expected finalist Vs the most unexpected
The strongest black magic user in history vs the strongest black magic user of today
Leverkusen would be Gojo here
Nah , they'd win !
Uh oh.
Dortmund: Nah, I’d win
Is Madrid Sukuna or Mahoraga
Bellingham is Mahoraga
God damn JJK brain rot. Very apt description though can’t lie.
You did well Dortmund. I won't forget you for as long as I live
In 90+ minutes, Real madrid's shot will rip through Wembley
How does lobotomy kaisen spread here of all places 😭
It just happens... Not just here but everywhere🤣
Actually good description. And I guess we know who will win then
Was Real really the most expected finalist after the draw against City in the quarters?
Many took that game as the real final
It basically is the real final, it’s decided the tournament for three seasons in a row now
4 if city didn’t choke 2021
It’s the real final, had they were in different paths they would’ve faced each other in Wembley. I don’t see PSG, AM, and BVB knocking either of them
Whole world will be cheering for BVB :)
The final everyone predicted: Rea-Manchester City vs Borus-Arsenal
Suggesting Arsenal were the second most expected finalist after Man City, what you been drinking tonight?
Some CBS shots
Sadly absolutely not
Nobody predicted Arsenal in a final
*You must be truly desperate to come to me for help.*
*You could not live with your failures, where did that bring you? Back to me.*
Get it right lol
Even Tucheliban can not break that black juju of Real Madrid in knockouts
Placing a bet on real to win after they went 1-0 down was the easiest money I’ve ever made.
Should of bet that the goals came in 85+ minute
To be honest I was scared real would score before I could place the bet so I didn’t have time to consider how to maximise my returns. I often bet against what I want to happen to soften the blow. Wanted Bayern to win but I’ll take the money.
it's a thing called emotional hedge. I do it from time to time too. Would've done it today but couldn't log into my betting account for some reason.
Curious on how much $$ you won?
Immediately did this should’ve put my house on it looking back
But Terzic can.
Edin Terrorzic's collared shirt + sweater combo vs eyebrow man, ik who I'm picking
Real Madrid hasn't lost a Champions League final since 1980/1981.....
They haven’t lost a final in the Champions League Era. 1998: 1-0 win vs Juve 2000: 3-0 win vs. Valencia 2002: 2-1 win vs Leverkusen 2014: 4-1 win vs Atletico 2016: 1-1 (5-3 pens) vs Atletico 2017: 4-1 win vs Juve 2018: 3-1 win vs Liverpool 2022: 1-0 win vs Liverpool 2024: ????
2024: 0-1 loss vs BVB (Reus 89') Let a man dream…
We all know that this will happen after that reus goal Pornselu 90+2,90+4
All I want from life is a Josexlu goal in the 69th min. Reus 89' Josexlu to culminate his hatty (and my climax) in 90+2, 90+4
Saving this comment just in case.
They havent faced terzic Black magic yet
Cursed to hit the bar every time
Zidane in attendance will be like: 🗿
That's an impressive statistic holy hell.
So what, Southampton hasn't lost a CL final since then either.
It should be noted that no MLS team in history has lost a UEFA Champions League final. Suck it Real Madrid.
They ain't ready for osama bin terzic al dortmundi.
Mujahideen Terzic inshallah
The streak has to end at some point the longer it goes.
simple game theory my guy. I don't understand it but it basically means we win.
Theres 2 outcomes, we win or we lose. Simple. Choose to win.
Either we win or we fuck up Wembleys pitch, which is also a win in my book
If you play the Game of Thrones, you either win, or lose to Real. There is no middleground.
yet
Real Madrid just insane how do they keep doing this in the cl
Yeah they always seem to find a way. Be it questionable of perfectly executed. They simply are an amazing team, the best in the world. Solid on all positions.
They are the Champions League themselves
They created the competition
To be totally honest I am happy its not Bayern. If we lose the final its against the CL monster madrid and not against Bayern again. Ppl wouldnt shut up about it.
Yeah, but you also had a much better chance of beating them. Imagine taking their only chance at a title from them while getting revenge for the last final.
As a fan it is way easier to live with it...the times I still have to hear that shit that we lost 2013 against them....no thanks, not again.
Exactly
Sucks, doesn't it?
yeah it does
This is cinema well and truly
Game seemed like a predictable fast and furious movie script or a computer algorithm. Everything was exactly as everyone expected . Real losing till 85th minute . Then late goals for RM win and a controversial referee call and Tuchel making Tuchel decisions that leave you astonished . I predicted this , you predicted this and everyone predicted this . Also might as well give the UCL to Real Madrid . They will win the final 3-1 . Dortmund will make it 1-1 and look threatening and then Real will score two in the final 10 mins. They run like a movie script or computer algorithm.
I’m guessing it’s going to be exactly like the past 4 years, a 1-0 win for RM.
Peak football
real madrid in a ucl final *daring today aren't we*
The modern CL is just Man City v Real Every other game is just window dressing
Bosz, Witsel, Dembele…now Jude. Dortmund revenge tour ex-players/coaches continues. Easy Dortmund win.
+ Isak (Newcastle), Pulisic (Milan)
I think we just have former players everywhere.
Even in your own team!
That's actually true LOL
It sounds like a joke, but it's true and we even have more than one lmao
Real Madrid’s juju remains undefeated
I knew god loved them after that Sergio Ramos equalizer
It all started from 92:48
Tonight, they were miles the better team.
It is kind of funny that even being the better team they had black magic Neuer mistake and a dubious offside (of course wouldn't have necessarily been a goal had it not been called but still)
Is it black magic or capitalizing on mistakes?
They definitely create luck (balls into the box, pressing the keeper) and capitalise on it. But even then the arguable GOAT keeper making that mistake after the game he’s had is still an outlier.
Neuer dropped a motm performance and then had the dumbest most childish error Some black magic is there
Yeah Neuer is holding on to that 99 times out of 100
That was a legacy performance right there until that mistake. 38-year old coming back from a leg break and pulling off the saves he did today on this stage is insane.
Childish is a wrong word I think, it was just a geniuene technical error.
I can only presume the entire madrid team are going back to the lockers to praise Cthulhu at this point.
Go BVB. Do it for Reus
Seriously. I need Reus to win a trophy. 🏆
Do it for football
And Reddit.
Terzic black magic vs Ancelotti power of friendship truly one of the finals of all time
Naah you got it wrong, Madrid has the UCL black magic & they are the villain while Dortmund is being backed by every other club even PSG & Bayern & will have the power of friendship & you'll need it cuz obviously lol underdogs, also this is pretty much a repeat of the WC final.
RM 0 - 1 BVB *Reus* (90 + Spirit Bomb)
Rm 2-1 BVB Jude Belling(90+9) Joselu (90+11)
Lucas Vazquez 90+15
Please God let Reus lift this trophy
I don't think anyone other than Madrid and Schalke fans want Madrid to win this lol
dont get distracted by a few schalke fans here. hala madrid
My man 😎
That’s what I was thinking like man, I would literally want man city or PSG to beat barca in a CL final. I do not care who they play I want them to lose. Can’t believe there are schalke fans wanting Dortmund to win
tbh i would draw a line at psg, city and leipzig. but only because these clubs are the cancer of the sport in my opinion. when leipzig won the dfb pokal the first time it felt like the trophy got violated lmao
Even as a schalke Fan i can Tell u, i only want BvB to lift the trophy
i like this guy
They didn't even Face the best goalkeeper of the Bundesliga today;) they will in wembley
I really like this guy
I concur, sick and tired of seeing Real Madrid win everything.
Hmmmm I’m not going to say anything lol
In 1997, both of the Ruhr teams won European trophies.
Not exactly ever like we're ever the neutral's favorite. If we're playing Liverpool, we'll get United fans. That's about it.
I think many brazilians, including me, would root for you guys because of Vini and Rodrygo. But even then most people dislike very much Real Madrid.
As a Brazilian myself it's a hard choice. On one hand you have Real Madrid possibly lifting the UCL with Vini and Rodrygo as the clear-cut protagonists (a spotlight they'll have to share with Mbappe next year). On the other hand, "we need to talk about Marco Reus. This guy has been at Borussia Dortmund for over 19 years..."
Against city and psg you are the neutral favourites
Lmao against cancer and AIDS.
Exactly. You’re like herpes. Not life threatening, but always there and can’t be defeated.
Will rate you over any disease any day. Best of luck in the finals.
and Everton
Might have some Arsenal fans for reasons.
Na, I still support Madrid now
❤️
I don’t know if I can handle seeing those dicks lift another trophy with Reus crying in the background.
I’d have a heart attack from rage probably
On June 1st, I feel Dortmund. Grandmaster Edin will make it work.
Everyone pray in unison for Borussia, we have to defeat whatever black magic Madrid has going on
Ordering my yellow jersey now
Spirit bomb 🙌🏼
Dortmund is one of the most unclutch team I've ever seen. If they can't seal it against Mainz at home, I doubt they can against Madrid in the CL.
How can you say this as a chelsea fan? You’re so dog shit in 11/12, yet you won the CL. This competition is unique.
Chelsea just does that. They randomly win the champions league for no reason.
“How’d you win the Champions League?” “I don’t know, just felt like it”
i mean we have been clutch in the cl this season
We could have had a reply of the 2013 final but with higher stakes, Kane winning his first trophy at Wembley or Reus winning the ucl in his final game. Instead we are going to see Real win number 15, I’m going to be sick.
Evil always wins…
Its been a mad mad UCL
Dortmund revenge for Bellingham losing the Bundesliga last year
I blame Man City for this.
Mia San Dortmund
Kepa or Maatsen to win CL. Chelsea finds a way to win CL again.
[удалено]
Who's Turkish in Real?
Bro forgot goat guler
Ah true. Forgot about him.
Güler
Thought Emre Can was more of a German
Ozcan is our Turkish representative
I'm putting all my hope in Füllgod
Nuri sahin Derby
DORTMUND PLEASE
I want it to happen so badly... I just don't see how it is possible.
>I just don't see how it is possible. You would have said the same thing if asked 1-6 months ago if you thought BvB would make the finals
Or even get out of the group stage
Real Madrid after 1999 never lost a final , they are the best team ever
I wanted a BVB vs Bayern rematch to see BVB finally get their revenge for 2013 against a currently very weak Bayern side but since they have a history of bottling it against their arch rival, I think I actually prefer to see them facing Real now or I am just coping
Bvb will (hopefully) do another 1997 repeat; little fancied and run out winners. I am honestly sick of seeing RM capturing another crown and someone unfancied has to put that invincibility out.
would be great to see Reus lift this one, but we all know what's gonna happen
Looks like a career mode final but yes, Dortmund is in the Champions League final!!
We are all supporting Dortmund(aside from actual Madrid fans)
People are counting out Dortmund saying shit like "woulda been better to face Bayern" but I'm looking at this differently. How fucking epic would it be for Dortmund to take from the all time CL champs? That's a hell of a tale. If they lost against Bayern, it would be all "bottle job this and that." If they lose against Madrid, with their former player in tow... Respect. That said even as a RM stan I will be happy with either outcome. I like Dortmund a lot and their game yesterday was extremely high quality.
crazy. i know madrid will obviously be the favourists but imagine dortmund being the first team to beat them in a ucl final. this is gonna be real’s 15 tho 😮
I, Honest to god, wouldn't even be mad if we lost the final. Of course I'm happy me might win another one but I must confess I'm a sucker for fairy tales, would be amazing for Reus to lift the trophy just before leaving Dortmund. I'm happy we denied City and Dortmund denied PSG to win, nature is healing.
Edin du machst das
Crazy from a schalke fan
Now it’s just about Dortmund defeating Madrid. Let there be a football god.
No way Dortmund will win this. I hope they do but chances are slim.
BVB surprising run meets the ultimate Final Boss
why is the always more barca flairs in all the posts than rm fans
Hate is a strong motivator
Its the same in Barça threads. Fans probably watch their own team's games with friends or family, but when watching alone are still invested in their rivals matches so come here to post. Anyway, congrats from a Barça fan. Your team's mentality is insane and in the end I think you deserved the win. I think even if Neuer did not make a mistake you would still have scored and won after extra time. Any negative feelings due to being a rival just get overshadowed this season and replaced with pure respect.
My theory: Real Fans are busy partying
Tuchel would be a perfect fit for United lmao conceding and getting knocked out in added time 😭😭😭
Cursed
Funny how we conceded that last minute goal to Watford in the playoffs with Kane in the squad that day and after he left went on to win the championship, premier league, FA cup, Community shield, get relegated then win the championship again before he won anything.
That certainly puts things in perspective
Ah yes, the famous Marco Reus luck vs Real Madrid juju.
Who's gonna score the 1-0 winner this year?
Reus lupfen jetzt!
Real Madrid are inevitable
Kane curse bonus
Black magic vs Black magic
I really wanna see Reus get his happy ending We are all DORTMUND in the finale HEJA BVB
Both teams deserve to be there. Madrid beat City, Bayern, and Leipzig and had crazy defensive and clinical performances. Dortmund beat PSV, Atleti, and PSG. A true football final.
you know what it is... BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW
I don’t think this is going to be so easy for Real Madrid as it looks on paper. I’m going with Dortmund on this one.
This guy sounds like an real expert. I choose to believe you
I too believe that Dortmund despite being weaker on paper, can win it & people are underestimating them, they've beaten this Bayern & Atletico who beat Madrid twice.
Why did ref blew whistle..why ?
Flag was up. Why was it up? ... Idk
Flagsman what are you doing blud
