Even as a Real Madrid fan, I admit that it would be good if we saw more different champions and the fight for the title was more diverse than every year with less than 10 teams claiming it and playing among themselves.
But the presence of such cheaters as City and PSG in the competition makes me think that it will be good if Real continues to cement its superiority over the rest, so that these upstarts can always be shown their place.
Manchester City, eliminated by Real Madrid, was one of the clear favorites of the tournament. When Real beat them, the path to the cup was opened, but of course we still need to examine what will happen in the last match. Speaking definitively will cause us loss. We will see how Dortmund will prepare for this match. In the conference league, Olympiacos was not the favorite against Fiorentina and won. Atalanta was not the favorite and won the European league. Dortmund is not the favorite in the UCL either. I wonder if we'll watch the same thing again? One mistake in the final match, which will be played in a single match, will disrupt the balance of the entire game.
I think for one mistake to change the entire game it would have to be something like a red card early in the game. I, of course, mean a game where there is a clear favorite and a clear outsider. All mistakes that are “less” do not have much meaning because if the favorite missed a goal (by accident) but could not come back, then for me this means that it simply was not stronger in this particular game.
I think that in the final Real will not take risks by holding the score 1-0, for example, I expect a lot of goals and a confident victory. The examples of the Conference League and Europa League should be a good lesson for all the favorites.
