I dosnt matter who they will be face in the Champions League final , Bayern Munich or Real Madrid are 2 teams thats hard to play against them.
The question i asking myself is why hasnt Dortmund played that good and confidently in the German League too.
They have proof since yesterday now that they can play good , so fingers crossed they make it and win the final.
So Dortmund will be for sure protect the main players of the last 2 games in the german league that nobody will be get injured.

The UCL final is on 1st June. The last Bundesliga game is on 18th May, so they'll have over 2 weeks to rest. No need to "protect" their key players, in fact, they should utilise their strongest squad in the games to come to make sure they don't get too rusty from having too long break.

As for BvB's yesterday's game, despite the great 2-0 on aggregate, it wasn't their best game at all. PSG had plenty of chances but were out of luck in hitting the target. They had much better games in Bundesliga, but to win the league they need to be consistent in performance and that's what was lacking.

I agree that Bayern and Real Madrid are on similar level when they play at 100% of their abilities, but I find Real to be more consistent, whereas Bayern had a few really poor matches recently, which would make them an easier opponent. Especially given Borussia beat them 2-0 in their last game.

I could never imagine to see Dortmund in the final match of the Champions League because this team couldn't even get good results in the Bundesliga so far and compared to their performance in the last season they nearly failed. Now they can have the chance to even win the Champions League while compared to the other teams in this tournament they don't have famous superstar players and they didn't invest money to buy expensive players for their team.
Now Dortmund should just focus on the Champions League because there they can get the trophy while there is nothing to get for them in the Bundesliga.

But this is so amazing about these competitions. You would never expect them to go that far and yet they did it. I thought that it would be game over for them against PSG, but they delivered a fight that made them earn it. However, the reality is that PSG hit the post like five or six times in the second match Cheesy

Yet, they got lucky that they qualified for the Champions League already since the Bundesliga now has 5 starting teams instead of 4. Good question whether the participation in the final in Wembley saves Terzic the job. If they didn't get into the final, I think it would have been the end for him.
