When Real Madrid is in the final match, believe me they are a team that will be 2x more difficult to beat if we compare it to matches other than the final match, and that is based on existing data where their winning percentage in the final match is very high, and that proves that they are a team that has a very strong mentality.

It is not easy to compete in the final, because all the pressure will be heavier and if a team is not ready or does not have a good mentality, then it could be said that they will lose before competing. But on the other hand, I also don't underestimate the mentality that Borussia Dortmund has, because after all they are one of the big teams and they are the best team that can qualify for the Champions League final. So they will also show their good game. I can't wait to watch this match and I hope what I want to see happens in this match.

That's true and it has been proven that Real Madrid has a high enough mentality that any opponent will be afraid to face Real Madrid in the final match.
However, for this season's Champions League final, I think it will be a little different because Dortmund is a non-seeded team so they don't have any burden to play in the Champions League final against Real Madrid and this is an advantage for Dortmund who don't have targets or burdens so they play loose.

Next weekend, it won't be long and I'm sure the Champions League final match this season will be fierce and I don't think it's even possible that there will be a surprise like in the Europa League final when Atalanta managed to beat Leverkusen.

If we look at the statistics and reputation of the two teams, then we are quite confident in saying that the chances of a surprise happening are very low, and Madrid really deserves to be the favorite. I don't mean to underestimate Dortmund, but all bettors definitely see Madrid as a team that has a better chance of winning the Champions League trophy than Dortmund, it's clear that everyone has their own perception.

Talking about winning mentality, I think we can easily guess too, who has a better mentality, and also who will be able to manage pressure well, Madrid in this case is certainly better. Even though Dortmund managed to reach the final, their struggle was not as difficult as that faced by Madrid in the previous round, so it is natural to consider the Bundesliga representatives as an unseeded team.

On the other hand, the results of the Europa League final between Atalanta and Leverkusen may change the view of some bettors, that there is always another possibility such as a miracle in football. Likewise, the Champions League final, all these possibilities could happen, even though theoretically we put Madrid as the top team.
