But sometimes a team like Dortmund just needs luck when facing Real Madrid and of course most people want to see that happen. If we talk about it as a whole, of course Real Madrid will still be the undisputed favorite and perhaps once again Marco Reus will accept the bitter reality of not being able to win his first Champions League title.
This farewell will make the Los Blancos squad's performance even brighter and they will have more reason to win this title for Kroos who is about to retire. On the other hand, Modric will also be very emotional when Casemiro left him two years ago and soon he will also be left behind by his midfield partner, Kroos. It will be a sad yet happy season for Modric if he can win it once again with Kroos.
Leverkusen are favorites for the Europa League title this season and most observers agree on that. Many benchmarks in the analysis are believed to be a plus for Leverkusen to win the title, but the opposite is true. Atalanta beat Leverkusen with a score of 3-0 and that surprised many people considering Atalanta was underestimated. Atalanta won the Europa League title because of struggle, good cooperation and good tactics, so it's not just about luck.
Real Madrid could experience the same thing this season in the Champions League final. Real Madrid is really considered the favorite because of its current performance, but this is not a guarantee to ensure that Real Madrid can actually win the match. No one knows what will happen in the final, Real Madrid is still very likely to lose even though they have a record of many titles.
