There is only one way for Dortmund to win the game in my opinion and that is to score at least 2 goals wit the few chances they probably have. Maybe you recall the header of Füllkrug against Atletico Madrid. That goal was insane and he scores that one like 10% of the time. The goal against PSG where he controlled the ball with one touch and then scored immediately is another world class goal that Füllkrug is not really known for. But it is these overperformance that gave Dortmund the advantage against Atletico and PSG. If they miss any of their big chances (if they have any), I doubt they can beat Real Madrid.

But I am not the kind of guy who looks at odds here and says "game over" because the odds were against Dortmund from day 1 in this Champions League season. To not concede a goal in 190 minutes against PSG is a pretty big deal and that is what Dortmund needs: the best defensive performance of the season, even better than against PSG.

Well we still go over this unpredictable nature of football this season especially with the way underdogs keep turning up and bringing uo surprising performances especially in final. This in mind, one cAn say there’s all for Dortmund to play for on Saturday in London when they face Real Madrid. Yes talking about the chance or should I say the tactics Dortmund can emply to be able to sink this Real Madrid side is if they’re able to get 2 goals at least that can to an extent secure them.

Just like how Atalanta and Man United did in their finals too, getting 2 goals put the big team in a state of confusion and they just have to let their defense guard down and go all out to attack. ⁠Going forward, you will start imagining what the chances of Dortmund are to score 2 goals, this means they must be very available to take any chance they have. Just like they did against Athletico Madrid and PSG in a run to this stage, they must exhibit such resilience.

They should also not forget Real Madrid are the king of coneback especially in the UCL which they have won a total of 14 and are in a bid for the 15th. Well the match over the weekend will be one interesting one but I’ll be strongly rooting for Real Madrid to get the win and reclaim their stand as European big boys.
