But haven't we seen countless of surprises across all competitions in European football now? Let's go:
Atalanta beats Leverkusen 3-0. Did anyone expect that?
Dortmund survives the Champions League group and beats Atletico Madrid and PSG. Did anyone expect that?
Manchester United beats Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Did anyone expect that?
All these results are intensely surprising. I would have never bet on Manchester United or Atalanta given how Leverkusen was in shape. Dortmund, if anyone told me they end up in the final, I would have thought that person is insane.
That's why I hope for an exciting match and not some game that is 0-3 at halftime.
After the match of two teams with two different leagues with different statuses of course became our reference to no longer look at Dortmund one eye, Dortmund and Atlanta of course reached the final round with all the hard work and also the spirit of never giving up even though they continue to be underestimated, at this time of course we have to think again to say the favorite and quality team will always win over the non-favorit team, Dortmund who come with all their failures in the league are certainly like Manchester United who managed to eliminate Manchester City in the FA final, for now of course it is difficult to say if Dortmund will be very easy to conquer by Madrid although Madrid have everything it takes to win.
Despite Madrid status as the title favourite, of course I personally will try to go against the grain by betting with at least a draw later, seeing Dortmund scheme and also the performance of Dortmund game that has changed since Edin Terzic coached certainly does not rule out the opportunity for Dortmund to hold Madrid until a normal match is over, besides the mentality possessed by Dortmund when beating PSG certainly shows if they are very ready to compete in the fight for the Champions League championship this season.
