Real Madrid Striving For the 15th UCL Trophy
With a collection of 14 Champions League (plus its precursor, European Cup) trophies, Real Madrid sits at the pinnacle of the most victorious European clubs. That’s double the amount of trophies held by AC Milan, the runner-up on the list.
As it stands, the last time Real Madrid seized the Champions League was two years ago during Carlo Ancelotti’s initial season in his second tenure as the manager of Los Blancos. Currently, he’s on the verge of guiding his team to yet another trophy.

Compared to the roster two years ago, the current Real Madrid team projects a stronger lineup. This group of players excel in every aspect of the sport, with their team spirit being a standout characteristic amongst other European teams.
Perhaps the best testament to their cohesiveness is their comeback from the 1-0 downfall in the semi-final against Bayern Munich, where they managed to win 2-1 through two goals scored by Joselu during the match’s last minutes.
Borussia Dortmund Longs for the 1st UCL Title Since 1997
Borussia Dortmund’s trophy case contains only one European title, which they clinched in 1997. Now, the Germans are in the running to claim it again. Despite starting the 2023-24 Champions League as underdogs, they impressively navigated their way to the final without any considerable challenges.
Their incredible performance, considering they were pitted against PSG in the semi-final – defeating the French team 1-0 in both legs – is noteworthy. They displayed a masterfully defensively sound game in both matches, effectively blocking out goals from Kylian Mbappe and his teammates.
Prior to dismissing PSG, their offensive capabilities were on full display during the two-leg match against Atletico Madrid, winning by an aggregate of 5-4.
Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund 2024 UCL Final Prediction
While Borussia Dortmund has been the delightful revelation of the 2024 Champions League, it’s undeniable that they don’t quite measure up to Real Madrid. Sporting players like Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr., and with Carlo Ancelotti guiding from the sidelines, Los Blancos appear poised to celebrate victory on June 1.
