Notably, this season's finals will be the last of 32 teams, which will be meaningful. The Champions League will be expanded to include 36 teams in the finals from next season, and the finals will be held at Football Arena Munich (Alianz Arena) in Munich, Germany.
Real Madrid and Dortmund are prestigious clubs representing Spain and Germany, respectively. 토토사이트넷
First of all, Real Madrid is the world's best soccer club without explanation. In particular, it has won 14 championships, the most among all clubs, and is enjoying its heyday with eight big years since 1992, when it was changed to its current name in the European Cup.
Attention is also focusing on whether Carlo Ancelotti, who is leading the team, will make history once again. Ancelotti had two victories each at AC Milan and Real Madrid. With a total of four Champions League wins, he is ranked No. 1 in history, and if he wins again this season, he will become the third coach (Riverpool's Bob Paisley, Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane) to win three titles at a club as well as five titles that have never been seen before.
It is Dortmund's first championship title in 27 years since 1997. Since then, Dortmund has advanced to the final for the second time in 2013 as a club, but Bayern Munich, a club in the same league, failed to win the runner-up prize. Notably, the venue that was defeated by Munich is Wembley Stadium, the venue for the upcoming final, which is highly meaningful.
Real Madrid is also making an unmatched move in the Champions League club's most wins category.
Real Madrid, which had won all six of its matches in the group league this season, struggled a bit with two wins and four draws in the tournament, but secured a ticket to the finals by banking on its official record, and has reached its 291st win (ranked first in history) overall. Now, Real Madrid can reach the 300-win mark for the first time in its history within a season or two.
Dortmund had difficulty advancing to the Champions League finals in the 2000s, but has been adding wins every season by winning a full berth in the 2010s when it was in its prime.
This season, he also has three wins, two draws and one loss in the group stage and four wins, one draw and one loss in the tournament, showing a much stronger performance than Real Madrid in terms of recent momentum.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid won 291, Bayern Munich won 231, and Barcelona won 196, followed by England and Italy's prestigious Manchester United and Juventus with 153 and 151, respectively.
