A year earlier Borussia D were one step away from the Bundesliga title, but missed the long-awaited title by drawing 2:2 with an unmotivated Mainz. It seemed that such a painful outcome of the season would break the team, but in fact this failure forced the mentor to reconsider his views on football. Now we see Dortmund playing a more pragmatic and balanced game. They failed to win a trophy in the Bundesliga, finishing only fifth in the standings, but in the Champions League, they are showing great results. For a start, they came first in a tough group with PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle, before qualifying for the play-offs on the aggregate of two matches with PSV 3:1, Atletico 5:4 and PSG 2:0.

Real last season performed poorly by their own standards, but the management of the capital club continued to trust Carlo Ancelotti, which clearly did not regret. In the Spanish championship, they have already celebrated the championship title, ahead of the nearest pursuer on ten points. They became triumphant and in the Super Cup of the country, where in a bright style beat Atletico and Barcelona - 5:3 and 4:1, respectively. Bad luck caught up with them only in the Cup, where they fell already in the round of 18 from the same Atletico - 2:4, but it is unlikely to grieve for long because of this. It is much more important that Madrid again achieved success in the Champions League, passing in the play-offs on the aggregate of two games Leipzig - 2:1, Manchester City - 5:4, as well as Bayern - 4:3.

For the past year Borussia has seriously transformed, which allowed it to sensationally reach the final of the Champions League, but it will be extremely problematic to achieve success in the decisive game of the tournament. The main reason is Dortmund's opponent. They will be playing against Real Madrid, who know how to win the continent's premier club tournament. Madrid have won the trophy 14 times in their history, with five titles in the last decade. Moreover, the last defeat in the Champions League final was in 1981, and therefore Carlo Ancelotti's men are unqualified favourites to win the trophy.

Champions League finals in recent years are not characterised by high efficiency. In the five previous decisive matches of the tournament there were only 6 goal takings (1.20 average per game), and in all five cases there was a bookmaker's total under and no exchange of goals. In the upcoming battle we should not expect a goal extravaganza.
