The head-to-head history favors Real Madrid. The Spanish team has won 6, drawn 5, and lost 3 matches against Borussia Dortmund.
In the early morning of June 2nd (Vietnam time), Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will face off in the most anticipated match of the season. Both teams are in good physical condition after a period of rest and have prepared well for the season finale.
Real Madrid is aiming for new historical milestones in the upcoming final. If they win, they will not only complete a treble this season but also make history as the first club to win the European Cup 15 times.
Real Madrid is currently in good form, having remained unbeaten in their last 25 matches. Their most recent defeat under Coach Ancelotti came in extra time against Atletico back in January this year. In terms of squad, Real will be without Tchouameni due to injury, and goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is also recovering from illness with his availability still uncertain.
Representing German football, Borussia Dortmund is also in good form, but they have a less-than-pleasant history against Real Madrid. In their recent encounters with Real Madrid, they have suffered defeat in both matches. Dortmund has only managed to secure 3 victories out of a total of 13 meetings with Real Madrid since 2003.
In terms of squad strength, Coach Edin Terzic will have nearly the best squad available, but facing the number one team in Europe at the moment, Dortmund’s chances of winning are very slim.
Personnel situation ahead of the UEFA Champions League final
Real Madrid: Apart from David Alaba and Tchouameni, who are still recovering from injuries, Real Madrid will have their strongest lineup available for the upcoming final.

Projected lineup: Courtois – Carvajal – Rudiger – Nacho – Mendy – Camavinga – Kroos – Valverde – Bellingham – Vinicius – Rodrygo
