As many people previously predicted, Real Madrid will win the UCL again for the 15th time, even though many people and myself hope that Dortmund will become champions because they want to see Reus' final farewell to Dortmund by becoming UCl champions.
Actually, if you look at the game, the two teams are evenly matched, but despite Dortmund's lack of luck and we know that Real Madrid are the kings of Europe and are not easy to beat, with Ancelotti's tactics and the extraordinary mentality of his players, perhaps this is one of the factors in Real Madrid's victory over Dortmund.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for their 15th UCL title

Mentality and experience are the most important factors when playing in the Champions League, besides that, Real Madrid is also supported by a more capable squad depth than Dortmund. Indeed, Dortmund managed to provide very good resistance, so that Ancelotti squad only managed to score a goal in the 74th minute. In fact, this season Champions League final was not balanced, because Real Madrid had completed more ideal matches in the previous round, namely against Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Toni Kroos luck is greater than Marco Reus, but I think both players deserve the same appreciation, because they have been an important part of the history of their respective clubs.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid ambition to continue to be King of Europe will continue, the arrival of Mbappe from PSG will make Real Madrid front line sharp, so that they will once again be the team at the top of the favorites list. In my opinion, only Manchester City and Bayern Munich are close to Real Madrid's level at the moment, with the addition of Mbappe next season Real Madrid will be much sharper and more frightening.

I was actually hoping that this match somehow either goes to the penalties or Dortmund be able to score 3 goals in the first half without conceding even one. Those were probably the things that could have made Real Madrid lose the match. Of course, when it comes to the Champions League competition, Real Madrid is far better compared to Dortmund. Real Madrid's squad is better compared to them anyway. And nobody expected Real Madrid to lose the match. It was going to be more like an upset if Real Madrid actually lost.

Yes, I agree that Dortmund was able to provide good resistance. But that was obviously not going to be enough against Champions League team like Real Madrid. For some reason, I actually wanted to see Dortmund win. I wanted to see Reus when something with his team that he has been so loyal to. But I guess life is not all sunshine and rainbows 🥲
