I am not even shocked about the fact that Real Madrid made a very last minute comeback, they do that quite often to be fair and that wasn't a shock for me. However, what was shocking was the fact that we have seen Joselu was the one who made that happen, dude had two goals back to back, this dude didn't had back to back goals all season long and he had it at the very last minutes of a semi-finals UCL game to get the winner.

I do also believe that Bayern goal was not offside, that was such a shame that their goal was stopped, at this point we all know that you just let the position go before you decide later on, and referee didn't do that for some reason. But such is life and while it might be unfair, there isn't really anything we can do to change this, so we just have to accept a mistake was made. I am glad it was made I had money on the line and won thanks to that mistake lol.

Apart from the controversy over Bayern Munich's last goal being disallowed for offside, I think Bayern Munich's tactician Thomas Tuchel made several mistakes in his substitutions. They were ahead until the 87th minute but Bayern failed to maintain their victory after Madrid made a successful comeback in the final minute.
After taking the lead in the 68th minute through a goal from Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich's game got even worse and there were many game delays. I think difference result if Bayern Munich keep playing such as the first minutes keep focus defense not only full defense
Congrats for Madrid reached 15 champion league final match and one important thing Madrid never loss yet in the final.

It's happened again and It is a miraculous goal. Others call it Luck
Joselu is wearing 14, taking Madrid to 15!
Congratulations on reaching the final...

The 23/24 season was not easy for Bayern, with managerial and board issues, and injuries, I didn't expect Bayern to make it this far.
However, they have managed to overcome these obstacles, and I would like to credit the players and Tuchel.
It's time to get your head up, get things under control, and focus on planning for next season.

Another epic loss for Munich. This reminds of their Finals loss to United (98-99 season).

What do you think were the errors in his substitutions? Who should have been subbed out or subbed in? Their goalkeeper made a huge mistake in the first RM goal. It looked like a routine stop but the ball somehow escaped from his hands.

I thought from the beginning and almost until the end of the game that Real Madrid would lose. But I bet on Real Madrid but I lost because Real Madrid secured the win after going to extra minutes. But I believe that Real Madrid team is really strong whenever they can perform well offensively. Joselu has shown how to take the team to victory in moments, he alone played enough to take Real Madrid to the final.

Last season's final was very interesting because Inter Milan was like a dark horse last season. And Man City was the opponent who finally became champion last season. And this season almost the same situation is repeated. Because Dortmund, which is like a dark horse this season, will also have a tough opponent, namely Real Madrid. Last season the dark horse, Inter Milan, failed in the Final. And now I wonder whether Dortmund will also fail in the final because they were defeated by Real Madrid. I think it's very interesting. considering that the scenarios of last season and current season are almost similar. But the final result may be different. Where last season Man City won the title as everyone expected. And this season, Real Madrid will also win the title as the majority of people expect.

He made history; nobody expected that. Ancelloti got his substitutions right, and it earned them a place in the finals. Dortmund, even though they are seen as the underdog, should not be written off because they are very capable of an upset with how well they defend and how well they can attack.

Sancho can be as dangerous as Vinicius Jr.

Even before there was criticism of Joselu why Real Madrid recruited him even though it was only a loan status but now he knows that Joselu brought Real Madrid to the final with two goals from him of course this is something extraordinary while Ancelotti already understands how Joselu plays for Real Madrid.

Yes Dortmund are the underdogs but when Real Madrid are in the final then there is no doubt that the champions may only have Real Madrid they have a strong mentality, see how the situation against Bayern Munich yesterday made the atmosphere change in an instant.

What do you guys think about the odds for the UCL winner:

Real Madrid: x1.30
Borussia Dortmund: x3.50

Looks like oddsmakers are not convinced by the German team eliminating Atletico and PSG and still consider them to be the underdog.
Personally I think it's anyone's game and I think Real will only be slightly better if both teams perform at their 100%.
BvB did quite well in the semi-final and the quarter-final while Real barely made it past Man City and Bayern. You could say that Real had tougher opponents (which is true) but, for what it's worth, Borussia did beat Bayern 2-0 in their last league game.
The mental advantage will definitely be on Dortmund's side.

It is now currently
PSG 0 - 1 Dortmund

With PSG out of the way, and Mbappe out of the race for the Ballon d'or with this exit from the UCL, who among Vini, Bellingham or Harry kane do you think will win the award?

After PSG and Bayern Munich exited the Champions League, yes, currently, Vini JR and Belingham are the main candidates to win the Baloon d'Or. However, we understand that currently the game is focused on preparing for the final of the big league UCL. This must not interfere with their struggle in the final, because it is for personal gain. Whether Vini JR or Bellingham, both are quite potential. It's just that, maybe their game in the final could have an impact on their rating in the future.

Now, we will be seeing the final of Champions League between Dortmund vs Real Madrid.
I am sure that Real Madrid will be the winner of this UCL this season.

I can see why the odds are hugely in favor of Real Madrid. It's not because bookies don't value what Dortmund did to reach the Finals but it's because they are facing REAL MADRID.

It seems you are also underestimating Real's win over City and Bayern. Have you ever thought that if it was Dortmund who faced City, they would have been eliminated in the earlier stages?

I feel that Real Madrid's mentality will still be superior because Real Madrid is much more experienced in the UCL Final. Even in terms of performance, we can see that Real Madrid is indeed better. So there is no doubt that Real Madrid is the favorite in the UCL Final this season. Dortmund might just be like Inter Milan last season. Where they were ultimately defeated by the superior team, namely Man City. But I don't want to underestimate this team. because I see an advantage that Dortmund has is that they are good at taking advantage of the opportunities they get. So I also won't be surprised if Dortmund wins in the end. But I think that's a very slim possibility.

Yep. Real has this particular type of unbreakable spirit when it comes to finals. Vini and Bellingham are unstoppable if they can keep their momentum.
And I think Madrid will win, but It is not expected to be easy
However, it’s one match anything can happen if Dortmund keeps playing well and working together.
Dortmund's spirit may bring some surprises and Reus lifts the cup before leaving
I'm just hoping to see a decent battle.

This is the final match, of course it will not be easy for Real Madrid to win this match, because Borussia Dortmund will also appear with their highest motivation who hope they can win the Champions League title this season.

Both teams will go all out to ensure they can win. However, based on the existing opportunities, Real Madrid is the favorite to win. In fact, it was a very natural thing, because in the quarter-finals when they met Manchester City, many people said that whoever wins that match, they will become champions.

Many people believed that Real Madrid would win from the start of the match because they were the host team while Bayern Munich was the visiting team.

When Bayern Munich was leading Real Madrid by a goal at the 70 Minutes of play, that's the time when I think, people were having doubts about whether Real Madrid would equalize or win Bayern Munich at the end of the match.

Joselu was substituted in, the second half and scored two goals for Real Madrid was very surprising, because that gave Real Madrid the winning goal that took them to the finals.
